Background
OTHSolutions is a Washington, DC–based consulting firm specializing in data analytics and business intelligence, infrastructure resilience, operational planning, and digital forensics. The company primarily supports DHS, and DoD.
As federal requirements tightened—particularly around GSA OASIS+ and upcoming CMMC enforcement—OTH recognized it needed a compliant, scalable solution to protect CUI and enable future growth, leading them to MainSpring and ultimately PreVeil.
The Challenge
Navigating Overlapping Requirements & Limited Internal Resources
OTH faced multiple pressures at once:
- OASIS+ required a validated plan to secure CUI
- New business opportunities required CMMC
- Growing regulatory scrutiny meant delaying compliance was no longer viable
- They were starting “from zero” with limited internal security/compliance expertise
CEO Bill Hyjek knew OTH needed expert guidance:
“Leadership support is everything in CMMC. If the right people aren’t in the conversation, the solution falls apart.“

OTH turned to MainSpring to help guide the process end-to-end.
The Solution
Delivering a Right-Fit Compliance Roadmap
Both OTHSolutions and MainSpring knew success would be driven by three factors:
- MainSpring’s deep understanding of OTH’s environment and its ability to build a right-sized, “Goldilocks” plan.
- Clear, transparent communication—especially simplifying complex compliance topics.
- Strong leadership buy-in, giving the process organizational weight and budget.
“MainSpring’s approach wasn’t about upselling. They met us where we were and built the perfect-fit solution with enough flexibility for where we were going. That integrity made all the difference.”

President & Founder, OTH Solutions
MainSpring recommended PreVeil based on fit, simplicity, and certification efficiency. More specifically, PreVeil was chosen because:
- PreVeil is extremely easy for end users to understand
- PreVeil’s enclave approach is ideal for hybrid/onsite government work
- PreVeil is flexible and cost-effective vs GCC High
- Strong inherited CMMC controls streamline CMMC compliance
- PreVeil was purpose-built for SMB government contractors
“As a user of PreVeil the experience has been fantastic and it was not a steep learning curve. Very intuitive, and very easy to implement on our end.“

President & Founder, OTH Solutions
The Results
“We now have a roadmap and partners to keep us compliant. The combination of MainSpring and PreVeil gives us predictability and peace of mind.“

PreVeil Partner Network Delivers Another 110/110
OTHSolutions passed its CMMC L2 assessment with a perfect score. OTH selected StrategicIT Solutions as their C3PAO because of their familiarity with PreVeil and their practical, consistent communication style.
This win also marked MainSpring’s first CMMC success story with a client. They knew they needed to get it right from the beginning and turned to PreVeil’s proven success record to help get it done.
Now the MainSpring team has even more accolades to give future clients confidence MainSpring has the know how to help them achieve compliance efficiently and within budget.
“Companies need a solution that fits them well today while being able to grow with them to meet their requirements 10 years from now. We want to make sure we’re making the right decision and investing in the right solution for each client, and PreVeil happened to be that.“
Ray Steen
Co-Owner & CEO, MainSpring
Going further, this win led to PreVeil awarding MainSpring with a PreVeil CMMC Proven Partner designation. This badge of honor is only given to partners who leveraged PreVeil to achieve CMMC success themselves or help a partner get there.
This badge is proudly displayed at the top of PreVeil’s Partner Marketplace to ensure the thousands of PreVeil clients and defense contractors across the DIB know MainSpring has PreVeil’s vote of confidence AND a proven track record to achieve CMMC success.
Why This Case Study Matters for MSPs & Partners
This story demonstrates how MSPs can:
- Use PreVeil to rapidly deliver CMMC-aligned enclaves
- Reduce the technical lift with inherited controls
- Streamline documentation and audit readiness
- Provide a scalable, affordable solution for SMB contractors
- Win new business by aligning IT strategy with compliance strategy
