The Situation
From 10 November 2026, applicable DoD contracts require third-party C3PAO certification. Self-attestation stops being enough. Primes are already flowing the requirement down to their subs, and most shops are not ready.
Most consultants sell a binder and disappear. DCD does the work, quotes a fixed price, and stays until you are audit-ready.
NIST SP 800-171 defines 110 security requirements across fourteen families, and every one applies the moment CUI touches your network. Access control, audit accountability, configuration management, and media protection each carry objectives an assessor walks line by line. We map all of them and score your SPRS honestly.
DFARS 252.204-7012 gives you seventy-two hours to report a cyber incident to DoD, and that clock starts at discovery, not when your investigation ends. Meeting it takes detection that alerts, logs you can build a timeline from, and a plan someone has rehearsed. Most shops have the policy and nothing behind it. We build the capability.
Capability
Our private assessment engine maps your environment against all 110 controls, computes your SPRS score, and drafts your System Security Plan and POA&M in a fraction of the time manual review takes. It runs on infrastructure we control, never a public model. The AI never touches CUI and never replaces the human accountable for it.
We architect and document the defensive controls 800-171 demands: continuous monitoring, audit logging, incident response, malware defense, boundary protection, and vulnerability management. Each is built to survive an assessor asking to see the evidence. You get a posture that holds up under questioning, not a binder on a shelf.
Vulnerability assessment and penetration testing that pressure-tests your environment the way an adversary would, before an assessor or an intruder finds the same holes. Delivered with vetted, credentialed offensive-security partners and translated into clean compliance evidence tied to specific controls, with remediation guidance.
The same engineering discipline builds the tools aviation runs on. AI-assisted CMMS for maintenance tracking, compliance intervals, and work order flow. Avionics testing and verification tooling that catches integration faults before the panel closes. Planning and quoting through AV8MX Studio Pro. All local, offline, account-free.
The Work
No mystery scope. No retainer that bleeds forever. You know what you are paying for and where you stand.
We map your environment against all 110 controls, compute your SPRS score, and hand you a POA&M built from what we actually found rather than a generic checklist. You finish knowing where you stand, what it costs to close, and in what order to attack it. Fixed fee, one to two weeks, and where every engagement starts.
The System Security Plan an assessor actually wants, written right the first time instead of copy-pasted off a template farm and prayed over. Every control documented against how your environment really works, with the POA&M tracking open items against real dates and owners. Fixed fee, assessment-grade, and built to be read closely.
GCC High or GovCloud configured properly, so your CUI lives where it is legally supposed to live and the enclave boundary is defensible. We handle tenant setup, conditional access, data loss prevention, and the documentation trail that proves it. Built on the FedRAMP moderate path to survive a C3PAO walking in the door.
We do not ghost once the binder ships. Ongoing monitoring support, SPRS upkeep, policy maintenance as your environment changes, annual affirmation, and incident-response readiness kept current instead of quietly expiring. Monthly and priced flat, because certification is a state you hold, not a milestone you pass once.
