Globe-America cybersecurity consulting team

Globe-America helps small and mid-sized federal contractors understand cybersecurity requirements, protect FCI and CUI, and build defensible compliance programs that support continued contract eligibility. We combine purpose-built compliance tools with practitioner-led advisory services to help organizations determine what applies, close implementation gaps, validate evidence, and maintain readiness as federal cybersecurity requirements evolve.

Defense Contractors

DoD primes and subcontractors handling Federal Contract Information or Controlled Unclassified Information. Phase 2 third-party CMMC assessment requirements are currently suspended, but the underlying cybersecurity obligations remain. DFARS 252.204-7012 and the applicable assessment and reporting requirements continue to make your NIST SP 800-171 implementation, SSP, evidence, and compliance representations consequential.

  • All 110 NIST SP 800-171 requirements scored, with gaps prioritized by contract risk
  • CUI scoping, SSP development, and POA&M sequencing built to survive Examine, Interview, and Test
  • SPRS score validation before a prime or DCMA DIBCAC challenges it
  • Enclave and External Service Provider strategy designed to reduce unnecessary scope while protecting CUI

Federal Contractors

Federal contractors supporting civilian agencies and handling Federal information. Contractors whose systems process, store, or transmit FCI may already be subject to FAR 52.204-21. The proposed rule published June 23, 2026 folds CUI handling into the new FAR Part 40 with clauses 52.240-6 and 52.240-7, a NIST SP 800-171 baseline, FedRAMP Moderate-equivalent cloud, and 72-hour incident reporting.

  • FAR 52.204-21 gap assessment against all 15 basic safeguarding requirements
  • Readiness mapping to the proposed FAR CUI clauses before they reach your contracts
  • CUI identification, marking, and handling practices aligned with the Federal CUI Program 32 CFR Part 2002
  • NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 3 readiness for nonfederal systems that may handle CUI under the proposed rule
  • Cloud-provider and subcontractor flow-down review for FedRAMP Moderate equivalency
  • CUI incident-response readiness for the proposed 72-hour reporting requirement

Our Framework

One Framework. Four Stages.
Built Around Defensibility.

The G.A.R.D.™ Framework turns CMMC from a one-time compliance project into a structured operating lifecycle, from contract requirements and CUI scope through evidence, implementation and assessment readiness.

G

Govern the Boundary

Know what applies before spending money.

Contract review, CUI scope, ownership, responsibilities and SPRS baseline.

Most cost overruns start here, with a boundary drawn wider than the contract actually requires.

A

Align Evidence

Make the documentation match reality.

SSP, policies, procedures, evidence, control ownership and data-flow alignment.

An SSP that describes a system you do not operate is the fastest way to fail an assessment.

R

Reinforce Implementation

Close the gaps and make it operational.

Security controls, remediation, POA&M management, training and repeatable process.

Controls that only work when someone remembers to run them are not implemented.

D

Defend the Assessment

Be ready to explain and demonstrate.

Validation, evidence testing, interview preparation and external-review readiness.

Assessors examine, interview and test. A binder only answers the first of the three.

Start Where You Are

What Do You Need Right Now?

Do not force every contractor into the same engagement. Start with the situation that matches your contract and current maturity.

?

I Don’t Know What CMMC Requires

Get clarity on clauses, information type, CMMC level, scope and what you should or should not buy.

I Need to Self-Assess

Work through Level 1 or Level 2 requirements at your own pace and build a documented assessment record.

V

We Have an SPRS Score, But I’m Not Sure It Holds

Put a second set of eyes on scope, methodology, scoring decisions, POA&M position and the story behind the number.

D

We’re Preparing for External Scrutiny

Prepare people, evidence and implementation decisions for Examine, Interview and Test, not just document review.

Self-Service Readiness

Start With a Tool.
Bring In an Advisor When You Need One.

Purpose-built options for contractors that need a defensible starting position without committing to a full advisory engagement.

Assessment Interview Readiness

Your Binder Gets You to the Table.
Your Answers Determine What Happens Next.

CMMC Hot Seat helps personnel practice role-based assessment interviews, identify weak answers, and prepare to explain how controls are actually implemented.
