CMMC Level 2 program leadership for defense electronics manufacturers
From data package intake to your assessment, one plan.
We run the Level 2 program for defense electronics manufacturers: scope the path a data package takes across your line, sequence the fixes around production, and prepare the evidence for whichever assessment your contract requires. Capital Cyber, based in Leesburg, Virginia, provides CMMC Level 2 program leadership for defense electronics manufacturers and works on-site across Northern Virginia.
For electronics manufacturers with a Level 2 requirement and nobody running the whole program.
Why start with data package intake?
Every later decision depends on where the package lands first. If it is downloaded to an engineer's desktop, copied to a shared drive and emailed to the CAM station, all three are in scope. If it lands in one controlled location, the program gets smaller.
So the first deliverable is a written boundary that starts at intake and ends where test data goes back to the customer.
How do you change a line without breaking production?
Line equipment and tester PCs cannot be patched or reconfigured on a whim, and some run software the vendor no longer updates. The remediation sequence plans those changes for scheduled downtime, and documents what cannot change as managed Specialized Assets instead.
What goes into the evidence package?
Control by control, from your own records: the access list for the data package location, change records for test station software, logs from the CAM and programming stations, the procedure for moving programs to the line, and the customer file transfer method.
Where does program leadership stop?
We prepare you for the assessment. We do not perform it, a self-assessment does not produce a certification, and we are not an Authorized C3PAO. Whether we attend a C3PAO assessment is between you and the C3PAO.
Which requirements does this touch?
NIST SP 800-171MP.L2-3.8.2
Media Access
Only authorized people reach the data package, on disk or on paper. Evidence is an access list for the storage location and the printed travelers kept under control.
CM.L2-3.4.3
System Change Management
A new test program or tester software version goes through a tracked change. Evidence is the change record, approved before the station returns to production.
AU.L2-3.3.1
System Auditing
The CAM and programming stations log who opened and changed controlled files. Evidence is retained logs that cover the period the assessor asks about.
CA.L2-3.12.2
Plan of Action
Open items like an unsupported tester operating system are tracked with an owner and a date. Evidence is a current POA&M.
What do you receive?
SCOPED PER CLIENTA gap assessment to start
The program starts with a gap assessment, $5,000 one time for most small and mid-sized contractors, or from the findings of a recent one.
A written CUI boundary
From data package intake to test results going back to the customer, written down.
A remediation sequence
Planned around your line schedule, with evidence collection started early.
An evidence package
Organized control by control for your assessment.
Support through the assessment
Support through whichever assessment your contract requires.
What does this service not include?
We prepare you for the assessment; we do not perform it, and a self-assessment does not produce a certification. Whether we attend a C3PAO assessment is between you and the C3PAO, and we are not an Authorized C3PAO ourselves.
The full service, for any industry: CMMC Level 2 program leadership. Where most engagements start: the CMMC Level 2 gap assessment.
Questions we hear
Do you perform the CMMC assessment for electronics manufacturers?
No. We prepare you for whichever assessment your contract requires. We are not an Authorized C3PAO and we do not perform the certification assessment.
Our testers run an old operating system. Does the program stop there?
No. Test equipment can be documented as a Specialized Asset and managed with risk-based policies, and the program plans what can change and records what cannot.
How does program leadership start?
With a gap assessment, or from the findings of a recent one you already have.
Will remediation stop our SMT line?
The sequence is built around your production schedule. Changes that need line downtime are planned with you rather than imposed.
