Challenge: Limited IT Resources + Pending Requirements
A 300-employee defense contractor, with a 25% federal division, needed to achieve NIST 800-171 and CMMC compliance quickly and affordably. Their challenges included:
- Limited Time: They understood CMMC was on the horizon and would start appearing in contracts in 2025.
- Resource Constraints: With a small IT team, managing a complex implementation like GCC High was risky and expensive.
- Compliance Expertise: The company lacked deep in-house expertise to navigate the intricacies of NIST 800-171 and CMMC compliance.
“The Accelerator Package documentation was fabulous and easy to use—we did not get a single comment on our SSP from the C3PAO or DIBCAC. And it was a BARGAIN The documentation alone saved me $100,000.”
Solution: PreVeil + Assessment-ready Documentation
Leveraging PreVeil’s comprehensive solution, the company deployed an enclave to secure CUI for their federal division while supporting 102/110 of the NIST 800-171 controls.
- PreVeil Email + Drive Platform: This secure platform ensured the protection of CUI.
- Compliance Accelerator Documentation: A complete set of assessment-ready documentation (SSP, POA&M templates, Endpoint Management checklist, Awareness and Training videos, etc.) and access to PreVeil CMMC resources, like video tutorials, and C3PAO commentary.
- 1×1 Compliance Support: PreVeil provides dedicated customer and compliance support for guidance throughout the CMMC process.
“When it comes to speed to compliance and cost, PreVeil is undoubtedly the right decision. We got it done on time and on budget, saving $200,000 compared to GCC High. We know CMMC will go into effect in 2025 and GCC High is a huge system implementation PLUS you have to meet 110 controls PLUS do all the documentation—so if you care about being on time, GCC High is a much bigger risk than PreVeil.”
Result: Fast Deployment + Perfect 110/110
They achieved a perfect 110/110 score in their CMMC assessment, validating the strength of PreVeil’s comprehensive compliance solution. PreVeil positioned the company to stay ahead of federal mandates while saving hundreds of thousands in potential deployment and consulting fees. They also achieved:
- Fast Implementation: PreVeil’s solution was implemented within weeks, significantly reducing the time to compliance compared to complex GCC High deployments.
- Reduced Costs by 90%: They avoided the high costs associated with consulting firms and a full rip + replace GCC High implementation.
- Greater Security: PreVeil’s user-friendly platform streamlined CUI management and minimized spillage risks.
