VirtualDojo Introduces CMMC Compliance Engine for Small Defense Contractors
In a significant advancement for small to medium-sized businesses within the defense sector, VirtualDojo has unveiled its CMMC Compliance Engine, a pioneering solution designed to facilitate Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance. As the defense industry braces for mandatory CMMC 2.0 certification requirements slated to take effect in November 2026, this tool aims to address urgent revenue and compliance challenges faced by contractors.
With less than 1% of defense organizations currently certified, the CMMC Compliance Engine promises to streamline audit readiness within 60 days. It encompasses automated gap analysis compliant with all 110 NIST SP 800-171 security controls, AI-driven remediation processes that significantly cut assessment preparation time, and real-time scoring capabilities to assist defense contractors effectively prepare for third-party assessments.
“The need for this solution arose from our own experiences as contractors,” stated Devin Henderson, Founder and CEO of VirtualDojo. “CMMC compliance is not a one-time endeavor; it demands consistent monitoring. Our platform simplifies ongoing compliance for organizations without dedicated cybersecurity staff.”
The implications of non-compliance are severe, as contractors lacking certification will face exclusion from future government contracts. Traditional compliance solutions range from $50,000 to $150,000 and often take up to a year to implement—a barrier that many smaller firms cannot overcome.
VirtualDojo’s solution covers CMMC Levels 1 through 3, focusing on adherence to NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS 252.204-7012 regulations. Contractors can achieve readiness for C3PAO assessments using guided workflows tailored to their current security posture. Priority access is available for government contractors who currently hold or are seeking contracts tied to CMMC requirements.
