## CMMC consulting in Columbus: the short answer

TRNSFRM helps Central Ohio defense suppliers identify CMMC gaps, document their System Security Plan and POA&M, and remediate NIST 800-171 requirements. We support SPRS scoring, GCC High planning and assessment readiness. TRNSFRM is not a C3PAO and does not perform certification assessments.

## Start with the contract and the information

Machine shops and subcontractors supplying defense programs need to know which requirements flow down to their work. That includes suppliers to the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime site in Columbus, where the contract and information handled determine the compliance scope.

We review where Federal Contract Information and Controlled Unclassified Information enter, who can access them and which systems support the work. An enclave decision should follow that map rather than treating every office application as part of the same assessment boundary.

## A working SSP and remediation plan

Your System Security Plan should describe the environment actually in use, including identity, network boundaries, external services and the people responsible for controls. A POA&M should identify unresolved gaps and the work needed to address them, with evidence tied to the changes made.

- Gap assessment against the applicable NIST 800-171 requirements
- SSP and POA&M aligned to the scoped environment
- Technical remediation and evidence organization
- SPRS scoring support based on the implemented controls

## GCC High is a scoping decision, not a shortcut

We evaluate Microsoft GCC High alongside your data, contract and export-control requirements. Tenant selection alone does not establish CMMC readiness: access rules, device configuration, network boundaries and evidence still need to match your environment.

TRNSFRM prepares companies for assessment and is not a C3PAO or an RPO. Certification assessment work remains with the authorized assessment organization where the contract requires it.

## From contract review to assessment readiness

1. 1.
   ### Define the boundary
   Review contract requirements, controlled information, users and external providers before defining the assessment scope.
2. 2.
   ### Document and remediate
   Build the SSP and POA&M, prioritize technical gaps and retain evidence of the changes made.
3. 3.
   ### Prepare the evidence
   Review control narratives, SPRS inputs and supporting records so your team can explain the environment during assessment.

Leave with a written 1-page risk snapshot, scored against 47 controls, ranked by what an auditor checks first.
