July 13, 2026: the Department of War suspended CMMC Phase II pending a 60-day review — but NIST SP 800-171 obligations still stand. What it means for you
For Defense Contractors

Get CMMC ready.
Protect your DoD business.

Lionfish shows you exactly where you stand, what needs to be fixed, and what evidence proves you're secure — then works by, with, and through your team to get it done.

CMMC Phase II is suspended — your NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS obligations are not. The straight story.

How it works

Know. Fix. Prove.

Whatever CMMC reform delivers, this is the journey every defense contractor has to make. We run it with you, end to end.

Know

Know exactly where you stand. Your likely level, your CUI boundary, all 110 NIST SP 800-171 requirements, your honest SPRS score, and the evidence you have — and don't.

Fix

Fix what puts your contracts at risk. Policies, technology, remediation, training, enclave decisions, documentation — closed as tracked work, not a wish list.

Prove

Have the evidence to prove you're secure. SSP, artifacts, POA&M closure, and assessment preparation — organized the way assessors are trained to read it.

Is CMMC actually worth it for your company?

Don't take our word for it — take your own numbers. Enter three of them: your revenue, your defense revenue, and what certification would cost. You get a straight Go / No-Go verdict — the contract revenue you're protecting, the month it pays for itself, and your three-year ROI. If the math says no, it says no.

The platform

Your CMMC program shouldn't live in spreadsheets.

Stop running CMMC out of spreadsheets, SharePoint, and people's inboxes. The Cyber Tackle Box™ gives you one honest picture — where you stand, what to fix, and what proves it's done.

One security program. Multiple frameworks.

CMMC is where we started. It doesn't have to be where you stop.

The same platform and team run SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, GovRAMP, NIST CSF 2.0, AI governance and more — and evidence you build once does double duty across frameworks.

We also train the people who do this work.
