CMMC Ready Now
California Defense Industrial Base

CMMC Compliance Services in California

California is the largest defense contracting state in the nation, driven by Naval Base San Diego (the largest Navy base in the world), Edwards AFB (flight test center), Vandenberg Space Force Base, and dozens of major primes and thousands of subcontractors in aerospace, space, electronics, and cybersecurity. The breadth of CUI flowing through California's defense supply chain is enormous, CMMC Level 2 applies to a large share of the state's defense workforce. Phase 2 is active and assessment slots are competitive.

Why CMMC Matters for California Defense Contractors

CMMC Phase 2 is now active. Any defense contractor in California that handles Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), whether a prime, a subcontractor, or a supplier two tiers down, must achieve CMMC Level 2 certification before contract award. This is no longer a future requirement: it is in effect now, embedded in DFARS clauses across new solicitations.

With 14,000+ defense contractors in California and a limited pool of accredited C3PAOs to conduct formal assessments, assessment slots are becoming scarce. Contractors who start their gap assessment today will have time to remediate and schedule a C3PAO assessment before critical contract deadlines. Contractors who wait risk losing award eligibility.

CMMC Ready Now works with contractors near Naval Base San Diego and across California, remotely or on-site, to complete gap assessments, close security gaps, and prepare for C3PAO assessment. We never touch your CUI. Our work is fixed-price, and we give straight answers from day one.
