CMMC Readiness for DoD Contractors
How Small Teams Can Win Big with Hubz
The Defense Supply Chain Is Changing
Every contractor working with the Department of Defense now faces one fact: without CMMC, contracts disappear.
For small and mid-sized businesses, this shift feels overwhelming. Requirements multiply, systems grow scattered, and resources are limited.
Some organizations have found a different way forward. They treat compliance as a structured, repeatable business process. That single mindset change transforms the entire journey.
Hubz can help companies reach that point of control and confidence. It organizes, connects, and measures everything that matters: from gap analysis to evidence collection to assessment preparation.
A Common Scenario
Picture a defense manufacturer with 75 employees receiving notice from a prime contractor: achieve CMMC Level 2 or lose eligibility for renewal.
The company has policies stored in old folders, spreadsheets on shared drives, and no central view of progress. Nine months remain before the next contract cycle. The pressure is real. What they need most is clarity.

The Real Challenge
Companies struggle to answer basic questions:
Which controls apply to our environment?
Which ones are already met?
Where is the supporting evidence?
Who owns each responsibility?
Information comes from multiple sources, and it's hard to know which path to follow. The IT manager becomes the accidental compliance officer. Momentum fades.
This is where most teams stall. The smart ones move differently.

What Success Looks Like
I can't afford to hire an entire compliance team just to chase down spreadsheets and documents. The cost would kill us before we ever got certified.

I tried getting started with CMMC once. Multiple perspectives, different approaches, and zero clarity. Paralysis by analysis is real.

Why Hubz Makes Sense for CMMC
AI-Assisted Guidance at Every Step
Every roadmap step is explicitly mapped to applicable controls with AI-powered contextual recommendations. Hubz applies AI-based analytics to assist users in interpreting requirements and locating relevant evidence. Final control determinations remain the responsibility of the organization and its C3PAO assessor.
Automated SSP & POA&M Template Generation
Hubz automatically generates System Security Plan (SSP) and Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) templates populated with organization-specific control mappings. These draft artifacts must be validated by the contractor's security and compliance team before submission to ensure each control's implementation description is accurate.
Evidence Integrity with Cryptographic Verification
Every action in Hubz is automatically logged in an immutable audit trail. Hubz-VCE adds blockchain anchoring and zero-knowledge proofs to ensure evidence integrity and authenticity. This supports the preservation of chain of custody for stored evidence, helping assessors verify that documentation has not been tampered with.
Executive Dashboard with Continuous Visibility
Leadership can see compliance status continuously. Track control completion rates, identify blockers, monitor evidence collection progress, and generate documentation reports. Provides ongoing visibility into the organization's compliance maintenance between formal assessments.
Workflow Automation with Accountability
Assign tasks, route approvals, track progress, and maintain accountability across your team. Each control has clear owners, reviewers, and approvers. Notifications keep everyone moving. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Built for Teams Without Compliance Backgrounds
Your IT manager, operations lead, or office manager can drive compliance without hiring specialists. The platform guides them through every requirement with plain language, templates, examples, and contextual help. Technical background optional.
