Logistics & Warehousing Companies:
Your Shipping Data Is Unprotected CUI.
You move the cargo that keeps the Department of Defense operational.
Your warehouses store serialized defense components waiting for final delivery.
Your shipping manifests, your inventory tracking data, your delivery schedules, your chain of custody records. All of it is Controlled Unclassified Information.
And right now, most of it flows through warehouse management systems with no access controls and shipping platforms with no encryption.
The Threat Logistics & Warehousing Companies
Are Not Taking Seriously
Defense logistics is one of the largest and most critical sectors in the military supply chain. The DoD spends billions of dollars annually on transportation, warehousing, and distribution services to keep equipment and supplies moving to the warfighter.
Third-party logistics providers, freight carriers, warehouse operators, and distribution centers that touch defense cargo are increasingly subject to CMMC flow-down requirements from prime contractors. If you handle defense shipments, you are almost certainly handling CUI.
Every one of those companies must comply with CMMC Level 2. That means full protection across all 110 NIST 800-171 controls.
Not a partial plan. Not a signed policy document that nobody follows. Verified implementation.
Right now, warehouse management systems across the industry operate with default credentials and no role-based access controls. Shipping data gets transmitted over unsecured networks. Barcode and RFID scanning systems connect to the internet without network segmentation. Contractors with physical access to warehouses can view CUI-marked items and records with no audit trail.
When CMMC enforcement ramps up, logistics providers that have not locked down their CUI will be cut out of the defense supply chain entirely.
12-18 Months
Typical timeline to achieve CMMC Level 2 for logistics companies with warehouse management systems, transportation networks, and mixed IT/OT environments.
WMS Exposure
Warehouse management systems running without proper access controls. Inventory data, storage locations, and shipment records visible to anyone on the network.
Unsecured Transit Data
Shipping manifests transmitted in plain text. GPS tracking data for defense cargo stored on cloud platforms with no encryption or access logging.

Real results from real logistics and warehousing companies. Here is what our clients say.
“Our warehouse management system had default admin credentials and zero network segmentation. Every barcode scanner on the floor was on the same network as our corporate email. Capital Cyber identified every gap, built out proper network segmentation, and locked down our WMS with role-based access controls. We passed our C3PAO assessment on the first attempt.”
Logistics Director
3PL Provider, Virginia
“We had shipping manifests for defense cargo sitting in shared folders that every dock worker and temp employee could access. Delivery schedules were emailed to drivers in plain text. The CMMC Ready Now team understood how a distribution warehouse actually operates and built a security plan that did not slow down our throughput. That was critical for us.”
Warehouse Manager
Defense Distribution, Texas
“Rick and his team actually understand logistics and warehousing operations. They walked our facility, saw how our teams process inbound and outbound defense shipments, reviewed our RFID tracking infrastructure, and built a compliance architecture that fits our reality. No generic IT checklists. They understood the physical security side just as well as the digital side.”

Let me be direct with you.
Your company moves, stores, and distributes the equipment and supplies that the Department of Defense depends on every single day.
Those shipping manifests are not just logistics paperwork. They are classified as Controlled Unclassified Information by the Department of Defense.
Your inventory tracking data. Your delivery schedules. Your storage location records. Your hazmat documentation. Your chain of custody records for serialized defense items.
All of it is CUI. And CMMC does not care that you have been moving defense cargo for 20 years.
It cares whether your shipping manifests are encrypted at rest and in transit. Whether your warehouse management system has role-based access controls. Whether your barcode and RFID scanners live on segmented, monitored networks.
Not next quarter. Not next year. Right now.
The logistics companies that move first will lock in assessor slots.
They will win the next round of contracts.
They will be the ones still in the supply chain when the dust settles.
Will your company be one of them?
