The ENDSTATE position
Small defense businesses should not have to choose between protecting sensitive information and staying competitive in the Defense Industrial Base.
ENDSTATE replaces vague hours and oversized first engagements with published outcomes, plain-language education, and a cumulative buying path. Published prices are built around a standard small-DIB environment. If the assessed environment is larger or more complex, the adjustment is explained and fixed in writing before expanded work begins.
Pay for expertise—not administrative hours.
From El Segundo to the full industrial base
We place special emphasis on aerospace, space, electronics, advanced manufacturing, autonomy, software, and the small suppliers behind complex national-security systems—while supporting CMMC readiness across the DIB.
The visible capability depends on designs, components, suppliers, software, test systems, and technical decisions distributed across the DIB.

Digital engineering, open interfaces, manufacturing data, and software move quickly across teams. Readiness begins by understanding where protected information actually goes.

Launch vehicles, satellites, ground systems, communications, and mission support all rely on suppliers that can protect what they build.

One entry point. The right path after that.
ORIENT teaches the difference between FCI and CUI, traces how information moves through the business, and identifies the readiness path that appears to apply.

The low-risk first step
ORIENT is not a paid sales call. It is a usable first deliverable that helps leadership understand what information the business handles, where it goes, which third parties touch it, and whether Level 1 or Level 2 appears to be the right path. It also confirms whether the published Standard Small-DIB Scope fits your environment before a larger engagement begins.
Level 1 • FCI-only contractors
A right-sized path for microbusinesses and small subcontractors that handle FCI but do not have confirmed CUI.
Your designated official remains responsible for formal affirmation. ENDSTATE provides readiness, evidence, and submission support; it does not attest on your behalf or guarantee a result.
Customer data boundaries
ENDSTATE can perform substantial readiness work without taking custody of protected customer information. Protected Evidence Processing (CUI) is activated only for an authorized engagement with an approved environment and transfer path. Until then, ENDSTATE-owned systems and AI tools must not receive, access, process, store, or transmit customer CUI or Security Protection Data.
Raw evidence, screenshots, detailed configurations, security logs, vulnerability data, credentials or secrets, export-controlled technical data, CUI-bearing files, or unreviewed interview transcripts.
Sanitized descriptions, contract-clause identifiers, document names, evidence IDs, dates, owners, counts, yes/no/unknown responses, and client-controlled demonstrations.
The Non-CUI Readiness Consulting workflow pauses. Protected processing begins only after the controlled environment, transfer path, contract requirements, and written authorization are approved. Urgency, payment, or a waiver does not bypass this gate.
Level 2 • Cumulative pricing
You pay the published total—not the sum of every card. If you have already completed the prior step, you pay only the difference shown to move up.
The totals below apply to one contracting entity and CAGE code, one primary assessment boundary, up to 25 in-scope users, up to two operating locations, and one primary cloud tenant or business environment. ORIENT confirms fit before expanded work begins.

How do we prepare the organization to prove readiness?
End-to-end Level 2 support
L2 READY plus evidence validation and a mock assessment—one maximum standard-scope price for the complete advisory path.
Can you prove what you say you are doing? Review the evidence inventory, mapping, sufficiency, age, ownership, and contradictions.
Test interviews, evidence retrieval, technical demonstrations, and contradictions under simulated assessment conditions.
Transparent scope—not vague pricing
Company headcount alone does not determine the work. The protected-information boundary—the people, systems, locations, entities, and providers involved—is what drives CMMC complexity.
If added complexity materially increases the engagement, ENDSTATE identifies the reason and provides a revised firm-fixed price in writing before you authorize the expanded scope. Applicable prior purchases continue to credit forward. You are not moved into undefined hourly billing.
Focused help
Targeted work can stand alone or credit into the applicable cumulative package. A client should not pay more through modular purchases than the appropriate package total.
One control family
Focused interviews, practice and evidence review, findings, recommendations, evidence expectations, and a written family readiness report.
Get an independent review of an MSP, MSSP, consultant, or technology-provider proposal before committing heavily to implementation.
Right-sized for the DIB
The information environment—not the company label alone—determines the appropriate path and whether the standard published scope applies.
Often no dedicated cybersecurity staff and FCI without confirmed CUI. Begin with ORIENT, then proceed to L1 READY only when appropriate.
Typically up to 25 in-scope users, one primary boundary, and no dedicated CMMC compliance team. This is ENDSTATE’s primary market.
The same outcome-based ladder applies. Pricing adjusts only when additional entities, users, locations, boundaries, tenants, or system complexity materially increase the work.
Why ENDSTATE
ENDSTATE is veteran-led. Its founder brings more than 15 years of security-control experience, including work with sophisticated classified information systems and controls based on NIST SP 800-53.
We translate that foundation into actionable NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC readiness guidance: understand the information, identify the actual risk, evaluate what is implemented, explain what evidence is expected, and give the responsible team a practical next action.
Customer protections
ENDSTATE tells you what needs to be done, why it matters, how to approach it, and what evidence to retain. Your internal team or chosen provider performs implementation.
ENDSTATE
We do not begin by selling a large Level 2 engagement. We begin by determining what information you actually handle and helping you buy only the readiness services you need.
