CMMC readiness for defense suppliers outside the United States
CMMC is not just a US problem. If your company in Japan, Australia, the UAE, Qatar, Germany, Italy, the UK or elsewhere supplies the US Department of Defense — directly or as a subcontractor — DFARS clauses flow the CMMC requirement down to you. Handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), and CMMC Level 2 applies to your environment, wherever it sits.
ITSecOps.cloud is one of the very few CMMC readiness consultancies operating outside the US. Most CMMC consultants work US hours only; we support international defense suppliers in their working day — CET for Europe and the Middle East, IST for the Gulf and Asia, with overlap for Japan and Australia.
Who this is for
- Non-US subcontractors receiving DFARS 252.204-7012 / 7021 flow-downs from US primes
- Manufacturers and engineering firms in Germany, Italy and the UK supplying US defense programs
- Australian and Japanese companies in AUKUS and allied supply chains
- UAE and Qatar contractors supporting US military programs in the Gulf
- US primes needing their international suppliers brought to CMMC Level 1 or 2
What we deliver
- Gap assessment against NIST SP 800-171 — all 110 controls, scoped to your CUI boundary. See our full CMMC Level 2 guide.
- SPRS scoring & POA&M: defensible self-assessment scores and remediation plans your prime will accept.
- CUI enclave design: segmented environments (including Microsoft GCC/GCC High considerations) so you do not have to certify your whole company.
- Control implementation: MFA, logging, monitoring, hardening — implemented by our engineers, not just recommended.
- SSP & evidence preparation: assessor-ready documentation mapped to every control.
- C3PAO assessment support: pre-assessment reviews and support during assessor walkthroughs.
Why international suppliers choose us
Your timezone, not ours
Workshops, remediation sprints and assessment prep happen during your business hours in Tokyo, Sydney, Dubai, Doha, Frankfurt or Milan — no 2 a.m. calls with a US consultant.
Engineers who also run operations
We operate a 24×7 SOC and manage infrastructure daily. CMMC assessors validate enforcement, and enforcement is what we do for a living.
Proven CMMC delivery
We have delivered CMMC Level 2 remediation for US defense contractors — see our case studies — and bring the same playbooks to international suppliers.
Cost advantage
Our hybrid delivery model typically comes in well below US consultancy rates, which matters when CMMC is a cost of doing business rather than a revenue line.
Frequently asked questions
Can a non-US company be CMMC certified?
Yes. CMMC applies to any company in the DoD supply chain that handles FCI or CUI, regardless of country. C3PAOs can assess international organizations.
Do we need CMMC Level 1 or Level 2?
Level 1 for Federal Contract Information (FCI) only; Level 2 if you store, process or transmit CUI. Your contract clauses (DFARS 252.204-7012/7019/7020/7021) and your prime determine this — we help you scope it correctly.
How long does CMMC Level 2 readiness take?
Typically 4–9 months depending on maturity and how tightly we can scope your CUI enclave.
Do you work with our US prime contractor?
Yes. We regularly coordinate with primes on flow-down requirements, SPRS score expectations and evidence formats.
Which countries do you cover?
Japan, Australia, UAE, Qatar, Germany, Italy, the UK, Norway and the wider EU — remotely in your timezone, with on-site workshops where needed.
