Expert guidance, connected to the work

Scope it. Run it. Prove it.

  1. Elevate

    Scope it

    Elevate helps identify the information your company handles, the systems involved, and the requirements that apply.

  2. Deep Fathom

    Run it

    Turn agreed requirements into tasks with owners and dates. Deep Fathom keeps supporting evidence alongside the work.

  3. Together

    Prove it

    With your advisors, review progress and open gaps. Prepare supporting records for customer questions and assessment.

Our focus includes readiness for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) and the handling of federal contract information (FCI) and controlled unclassified information (CUI).

About SAME SBC

The SAME Federal Small Business Conference brings together federal agency leaders, prime contractors, and the small architecture, engineering, and construction firms that deliver the government's infrastructure work.

A lot of that work touches controlled unclassified information. Facility drawings, installation data, and project records carried under DFARS obligations can put A/E/C firms inside the Defense Industrial Base and within the scope of CMMC, often without a dedicated security team to carry it.
