60% less than traditional consultants
Traditional CMMC L2 consulting firms charge $150k–$250k for engagements built on Word documents, spreadsheets, and billable hours spent manually assembling evidence. We charge less because we’ve automated what they do by hand.
Traditional consulting
$150k – $250k
Typical CMMC L2 engagement
- Word-doc SSP assembled by hand
- Evidence collected manually per assessment cycle
- No pipeline — you start over next year
- High hourly rates billed for repeatable tasks
- Artifacts locked in consultant’s format
grc.engineering
$35k – $60k
SSP-as-Code engagement
- Machine-generated OSCAL SSP from your actual infrastructure
- CI pipeline regenerates evidence on every commit
- Artifacts live in your repo — you own them forever
- Automation handles the repeatable work
- Built for first-time-right C3PAO assessments
~60%
Average savings vs. traditional document-based engagements.
The savings come from automation: SSP-as-Code generates in minutes what takes consultants weeks to draft by hand. You get better artifacts, a repeatable pipeline, and no manual re-assembly at your next assessment.

Frequently asked questions
What’s included in the engagement?
Every engagement is scoped upfront with a documented specification: which controls are in scope, what artifacts will be delivered, and what the acceptance criteria are. The SSP-as-Code tier includes OSCAL component-definitions for all 110 NIST 800-171 Rev 2 controls, a CI compliance gate, a detect/respond stack deployed inside your boundary, and auto-generated POA&M output. There are no hidden line items — if it’s not in the spec, we don’t charge for it.
How long does it take?
The CMMC Ready assessment delivers in 2–3 weeks. The SSP-as-Code engagement runs 8–12 weeks from kickoff to final deliverable review, depending on the complexity of your boundary and the current state of your infrastructure-as-code. Managed Ops begins within one week of SSP-as-Code completion and runs continuously from there.
Do you work with subcontractors or only primes?
Both. CMMC L2 obligations flow down to subcontractors handling CUI, and we frequently help subs get assessment-ready before their prime requires proof of compliance. Our pipeline is the same regardless of your position in the supply chain — we scope the boundary to match your actual CUI footprint.
What if we’re already partway through CMMC prep?
We can start mid-stream. The CMMC Ready tier gives us a point-accurate SPRS baseline regardless of what work has already been done, and we map existing policies and controls so we’re not duplicating effort. If you already have an SSP draft, we can ingest it into the pipeline rather than starting from scratch.
Do you offer HIPAA alongside CMMC?
Yes. We support HIPAA Security Rule readiness as a parallel track for organizations that handle both CUI and ePHI. The control overlap between NIST 800-171 and the HIPAA Security Rule is substantial, so the pipeline work done for CMMC readiness directly supports HIPAA gap closure. Contact us to discuss a combined scope.
What deliverables do we get?
You receive machine-generated OSCAL artifacts (component-definitions, system-security-plan, POA&M) checked into your version-controlled repository, a CI compliance gate that runs on every commit, Prowler scan reports with SPRS delta tracking, and a detect/respond stack deployed in your environment. All artifacts are in open formats — no proprietary lock-in. You own everything we produce.
