BHD's compliance platform automates the CMMC 2.0 lifecycle — Plan, Execute, Maintain, Assess — in a bounded GCC High enclave that configures, evidences, and documents itself. No drift, low distraction, small footprint.
The Department suspended CMMC Phase II requirements while a Reform Task Force reviews the program. Third-party certification timelines are paused — but NIST SP 800-171, DFARS 252.204-7012, and the self-assessment and affirmation you file in SPRS remain fully binding. Those affirmations carry real legal weight, and they are exactly where scrutiny now concentrates.
One platform carries your enclave through the whole CMMC 2.0 lifecycle — it plans your CUI boundary, configures GCC High deterministically, keeps operations compliant by design, and generates assessor-ready evidence as a by-product of normal work. You own the environment; the platform keeps it provable.
CMMC enforcement is shifting — DoD suspended CMMC Phase II requirements in July 2026 while a reform task force reviews the program — but your obligations did not move: NIST SP 800-171, DFARS 252.204-7012, and the SPRS affirmations you sign remain binding, and those affirmations carry real legal weight. Blue Heron Defense delivers the Turnkey CMMC Enclave — a customer-owned compliance platform purpose-built for Microsoft 365 GCC High — and the hands-on services to make your posture defensible and keep it that way. From an independent readiness evaluation to full-service enclave delivery to ongoing managed compliance, BHD serves small and mid-size primes, their sub-tier, and any contractor who needs a clean CUI enclave built from the ground up.
You get a fixed-scope readiness picture — which CMMC controls you already satisfy, which gaps need plans of action, and what your SPRS score looks like — before you sign an affirmation or spend on configuration work. No ambiguity that expands scope or cost after engagement starts.
Your Microsoft 365 GCC High environment is configured to the full CMMC L2 control set — deterministically, from a documented registry — whether you're starting clean or remediating an existing tenant. You own the platform. BHD configures it to spec and documents every decision.
Evidence is generated and integrity-hashed through normal system operation, not assembled under deadline pressure. When anyone asks — a prime, a program office, or a future assessor — the record is already there: continuous, assessor-mapped, and current — produced as a function of how the system runs.
Compliance is a posture, not a milestone. Ongoing managed operations keep your enclave continuously aligned with CMMC requirements — by design, not by alert. Your team focuses on mission; BHD keeps the compliance posture current without requiring dedicated in-house IT capacity.
Your SSP, POA&M, and evidence posture arrive at assessment day in the format your C3PAO expects. SPRS score current and traceable. No late-breaking findings, no scope disputes, no documentation gaps discovered during the formal assessment.
We partner with federal contractors who must protect Controlled Unclassified Information and cannot afford ambiguity, rework, or audit failure.
Organizations supporting multiple programs, primes, or agencies that require CUI protection but lack dedicated compliance engineering teams. We provide structure, execution discipline, and audit confidence.
Contractors transitioning from informal security practices to formal CMMC obligations. We help determine what level is actually required and execute accordingly—without over- or under-building.
Prime contractors and integrators seeking assurance that subcontractor environments are built and operated in a way that will withstand independent assessment.
We use AI as an assistant—governed, auditable, and aligned to mission intent. AI is introduced only where it strengthens reliability, traceability, and operational assurance.
AI components are constrained by policy, role, and data sensitivity to ensure compliance and auditability.
We apply AI where it reduces human error, increases consistency, and strengthens evidence production—never as an uncontrolled experiment.
AI capabilities are integrated into existing systems in ways that preserve system integrity and do not introduce assessment risk.
We invest time and resources to support local communities and causes aligned with our mission. This section highlights our ongoing initiatives and how you can get involved.
A nonprofit that teaches people transitioning from military service software development and coding skills to help them move into tech careers.
Provides personalized transition support, mentorship, and career resources to help those leaving military service and military spouses find meaningful civilian careers.
An initiative of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation that connects service members, transitioning personnel, and military spouses with meaningful employment opportunities.
A national network of military-connected entrepreneurs dedicated to helping the military-connected community start and grow businesses.
A nonprofit coding bootcamp that prepares transitioning service members and military spouses for software engineering careers through immersive training and internships.
Authoritative guidance on CMMC compliance, NIST frameworks, and Zero Trust architecture for defense contractors operating in high-consequence environments.
A technical breakdown of the 32% increase in determination statements and how to maintain your SPRS score during the Revision 3 transition.
Strategies for verifiable affirmations and evidence collection to protect your firm under the DOJ Civil Cyber-Fraud Initiative.
Operationalizing micro-segmentation and continuous identity verification for systems handling prioritized CUI.
Enforcing strong authentication and privileged access controls aligned to CMMC Level 2 requirements, with the evidence to prove it.
Blue Heron Defense is founded by senior military and technology leaders with GCC High sovereign-cloud expertise, a deployed compliance platform, and assessor-centric methodology for delivering CMMC outcomes in high-consequence environments.
To deliver assessor-aligned cybersecurity execution that turns declared intent into engineered systems and defensible evidence, enabling federal contractors to operate, compete, and pass independent scrutiny with confidence.
A Defense Industrial Base where cybersecurity, compliance, and mission delivery are engineered together—so assessments confirm readiness rather than discover risk.
We operate with discipline in execution, integrity in assessment alignment, service to mission-critical customers, and stewardship of systems that must withstand scrutiny long after delivery.
With CMMC Registered Practitioners, we serve the Defense Industrial Base with clearance-ready personnel. Primary NAICS: 541512 (Computer Systems Design). Secondary NAICS: 541511 (Custom Programming), 541519 (Cybersecurity Services), 541690 (Technical Consulting). CAGE Code and UEI pending verification for federal contract vehicles.
