A Fixed-Fee Diagnostic Before the Expensive Decisions
The Go/No-Go Review is a hands-on engagement that tells a company exactly where they stand before they pursue a federal contract, renew cyber insurance, or respond to a customer security questionnaire.
What it is not: A CMMC certification. A C3PAO audit. A guarantee. We are the diagnostic layer before those expensive decisions, not a certification body and not a managed service provider.
You get direct, plain-language answers based on what we observe in your Microsoft 365 environment, endpoints, policies, and documentation. No fear-mongering. No open-ended consulting retainer.
The Executive Summary
A structured traffic-light output. One page. Three possible outcomes. Clear next steps.
🟢 Go
You're aligned. Here's how to move forward. You have the controls, documentation, and posture to pursue this opportunity, with specific guidance on what to highlight and what to watch.
🟡 Conditional Go
The opportunity is realistic after remediation. Here's what it takes, what it costs, and the estimated timeline. You can get there, but not without closing specific gaps first.
🔴 No-Go
You're too far away. Don't waste the bid. Here's what you'd need and when to revisit. This outcome saves you from spending $20,000–$60,000 chasing a contract you can't win yet.
Three-Pillar Delivery Framework
Every Go/No-Go Review follows the same three-part diagnostic. You get plain answers, not a binder full of jargon.
The Cyber Insurance Decoder
We read your current cyber insurance policy and identify exactly which technical controls you're not meeting right now, before your renewal or a claim denial surprises you.
We map policy language to real controls: MFA, backups, endpoint protection, access management, and incident response readiness.The CMMC Map
We map your current Microsoft 365 environment, endpoints, MFA, documentation, and security posture against NIST 800-171 controls required for federal contracting.
CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is the federal framework for protecting controlled unclassified information. We show you where you stand today, not where a consultant hopes you'll be in eighteen months.The Go/No-Go Ledger
We hand you a prioritized punch list: what's critical, what can wait, estimated remediation cost, and estimated timeline. Green, yellow, red. No jargon.
This is your Executive Summary: the deliverable you take to leadership, your insurance broker, or your prime contractor. One page. Three outcomes. Clear next steps.
