Managed IT That Meets CMMC, DFARS, and NIST 800-171 Requirements

Organizations that store, process, or transmit Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must meet strict cybersecurity requirements under the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) and NIST SP800-171. Most do not have the internal infrastructure, security controls, or documentation to meet certification standards. We provide fully managed CMMC-compliant IT services for government contractors, manufacturers, defense suppliers, and subcontractors—designed to meet CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 requirements, DFARS 252.204-7012, and NIST 800-171 controls. As a compliance-focused MSP, we manage your cybersecurity, IT infrastructure, cloud services, endpoint protection, documentation, monitoring, and support—all aligned with CMMC compliance requirements.

What Are CMMC Managed IT Services?

CMMC Managed IT Services (sometimes called CMMC as a Service) combines cybersecurity, compliance management, monitoring, documentation, and support into one ongoing solution.

Common questions

What are CMMC managed IT services?

A single ongoing engagement that combines the IT infrastructure, security controls, monitoring, documentation and support a defense contractor needs to reach CMMC compliance — and then stay compliant continuously, rather than scrambling before each assessment.

How is this different from a one-time CMMC assessment?

An assessment tells you where you stand on a given day. Managed compliance keeps the controls operating, the evidence current, and the SPRS score accurate between assessments — which is what annual affirmations and re-assessments actually test.

Which CMMC levels does the service cover?

Both Level 1 (FCI, 15 practices, annual self-assessment) and Level 2 (CUI, 110 NIST 800-171 controls, C3PAO assessment on most contracts), including DFARS 252.204-7012, 7019 and 7020 obligations.

Do we need GCC High for CMMC compliance?

Not always, but contractors handling CUI or ITAR data usually standardize on Microsoft 365 GCC High because it provides the US-only data residency and personnel controls those obligations demand. We scope this during the initial assessment.

Can you work alongside our existing IT team?

Yes. Engagements run either fully managed or co-managed — your team keeps day-to-day ownership where it makes sense, and palmiq carries the compliance-specific controls, documentation and monitoring.
