Prices are starting points in USD. Your final price is set in a written proposal. GridTailor is not a C3PAO and does not issue CMMC certifications. Readiness work prepares you for an assessment; it doesn't guarantee a result.

Who it's for

Defense and federal subcontractors

You need CMMC Level 2 / NIST SP 800-171 readiness before a prime flows it down.

Growing tech companies

You have 5 to 50 people and no full-time CTO, or a first-time CTO who wants a sounding board.
