Your assessment window is closing,
and you need to make sure your plan will hold.
When CMMC timelines compress, unexpected rework is the norm. If you have an assessment in six months or less, you want to make sure you have a solid, defensible plan. That's why AgileER moves your organization to the front of the line to ensure your plan is properly scoped, sequenced, and built for defensible assessment outcomes.

Why most plans fail under assessment
Most CMMC rework doesn't come from missing controls. It comes from decisions that were never validated.
Organizations that fail or defer CMMC assessments typically have three things in common — and none of them are technical.
False confidence
Tools deployed, controls not evidenced
Deploying Microsoft 365 GCC High is not the same as demonstrating the more than 200 non-technical assessment objectives under assessor review. Configuration is less than half the battle. Assessors validate decisions, not deployments.
Scope drift
Scope assumed, not decided
When the compliance boundary in your SSP isn't a clear or accurate representation of your CUI flow, assessors notice. Scope must be defined, justified, and documented before any assessment conversation begins. Over-scoping wastes capital. Under-scoping fails assessments.
Time compression
Remediation left too late
C3PAO schedules fill months in advance. NIST 800-171 gaps that require architectural changes in a GCC High or Azure Government environment take weeks to close — not days. Waiting for enforcement does not reduce risk. It reduces options.
AgileER is built for the moment when time is no longer on your side and every decision has to count.
The AgileER offer
The Prioritized Path You Need
AgileER moves your organization to the front of the line for the services that matter most when an assessment is imminent or a deadline has passed. Every service below is available through Agile IT — AgileER sequences and prioritizes them based on where your risk is concentrated.
Service 01
CMMC readiness assessment
Scope, evidence, and governance reviewed against assessment criteria. Not a checklist — a defensible position.
Service 02
GCC High environment validation
Microsoft 365 GCC High and Azure Government configurations reviewed against NIST 800-171 control requirements.
Service 03
CUI scoping and boundary documentation
Define, justify, and document the boundary assessors will evaluate. Reduces rework and over-scoping exposure.
Service 04
Remediation execution
We build and configure within your Microsoft environment — identity, access control, logging, and audit trail gaps closed, not just documented for someone else to close.
Service 05
SSP and policy documentation
Validate your Systems Security Plan, policies, procedures, and business practices in preparation for assessor review — not internal comfort.
Service 06
Continuous compliance support
Post-assessment monitoring and managed compliance so the operating state is maintained — not just demonstrated once.
How it works
Four steps from intake to defensible.
- 1
Emergency intake call
30-minute scoped conversation. Current state, timeline, known gaps, contract exposure. No sales motion — this is triage.
- 2
Scope and gap review
We validate what's in scope, what's evidenced, and what will fail under assessor scrutiny.
- 3
Sequenced remediation plan
Prioritized by assessment risk, not ease. Microsoft environment gaps are addressed first. Documentation and evidence follow the build — not the other way around.
- 4
Validation and assessment readiness
Before your C3PAO assessment, we pressure-test your positions. Scope, evidence, governance — aligned and defensible.
Who AgileER is built for
This offer is scoped deliberately. It is not for everyone.
This is the right fit if —
- Your CMMC Level 2 assessment date is within 6 months
- You've received a compliance warning from a prime contractor
- You had an assessment pushed back by the C3PAO because you were missing key elements (SSP, CUI Data Flows, Asset Inventory) or evidence wasn't ready for prime time
- Your current MSP cannot own CMMC outcomes or produce evidence
- You handle CUI and operate in or are migrating to a Microsoft cloud environment
- You need a defensible plan — not a roadmap that requires further interpretation
- You recently received a failing assessment and need to address gaps quickly to get back on the assessor schedule
- You didn't pass muster in pre-assessment, so your assessment is either on hold or you've been given 180 days to close your POA&M
This is not a fit if —
- You have 12+ months before any assessment and no contract pressure
- You are looking for general IT support without a compliance mandate
- You need CMMC Level 1 self-attestation only with no CUI handling
Request triage
Most organizations in this position assume the damage is already done. It isn't. But the next decisions need to be the right ones.
The organizations that have 90–95% confirmed defensible positions on their self-assessment before scheduling their C3PAO assessment are more likely to pass because the C3PAO assessment exposes open questions, it doesn't resolve them.
AgileER isn't an accelerator. It's a prioritization framework. It removes the decisions that create rework and replaces them with validated positions before the window closes.
What changes when the timeline is constrained isn't the destination. It's the path.
The triage call is where that path gets mapped. What's closeable before your assessment date. What requires a documented plan of action. What can't be addressed in time and how that's handled under assessor review. Those answers exist — but they require an honest evaluation of where you are right now.
That's what the call is for.
Request your triage call
We respond within one business day. This is not a sales call — it is a 30-minute structured review of your current state and where your plan is most exposed.
No obligation. Response within 1 business day.

Common Questions at Intake
What's the difference between a gap assessment and AgileER?
A gap assessment identifies where controls are missing. That's necessary, and it's included. What AgileER adds is the layer most organizations don't get to until assessment forces it — validating whether the decisions behind those controls are documented, owned, and defensible under C3PAO review. Gaps can be identified and closed. Undocumented scope assumptions and unowned evidence can't be fixed on assessment day. AgileER is built to resolve both before that window closes.
Can you work with our current MSP?
Yes, we'll partner with your current MSP to make sure you have a well-defined Customer Responsibility Matrix with all security requirements met between you and your MSP. That's how we ensure shared responsibility is explicitly defined so we can be a successful team. If your current MSP is supporting your Microsoft environment, we can work within that structure. Please keep in mind that no vendor can own CMMC outcomes on your behalf. What Agile IT owns is scope validation, evidence structure, and remediation execution within the Microsoft stack to help you meet the 320 objectives of NIST 800-171.
We're already in GCC High. What does AgileER do that we haven't done?
Being in GCC High satisfies the requirement to be in a FedRAMP-authorized environment. It does not satisfy all of NIST 800-171. Conditional access policies, audit log retention, identity governance, and CUI boundary documentation all require decisions and evidence beyond the platform itself. AgileER validates whether those decisions have been made and documented in a way that will hold under C3PAO review.
Who owns the outcomes — us or Agile IT?
Shared responsibility is defined in writing at engagement start. Agile IT owns remediation execution, documentation structure, and evidence integrity within the agreed scope. The organization owns governance decisions, policy sign-off, and assessment readiness. Assessors validate your posture — not ours. That accountability is non-transferable, and we are transparent about it from the first call.
What if our assessment is less than 60 days away?
60 days is a constrained timeline. We will tell you what is achievable in that window and what is not — clearly, in writing. Some remediation work cannot be completed in 60 days without architectural shortcuts that create new exposure. AgileER will help you identify what is defensible at your assessment date and what requires a plan of action with documented timelines for completion.
The window does not wait
Confirm whether your current plan will hold before assessment forces that question.
