CMMC Level 2 Certified MSSP for DoD Contractors

Keep Your DoD contracts safe with a CMMC Level 2 Certified MSSP. We are one of the few.

Under CMMC 2.0, any managed security service provider that stores, processes, or transmits your Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must hold its own CMMC Level 2 certification — or its entire infrastructure becomes part of your assessment scope. An uncertified MSSP doesn't just complicate your audit. It can cost you contract eligibility. Even if they don't store, process, or transmit CUI, they will still be pulled into scope for your assessment based on the services that they provide you and what they are responsible for. You want to make sure you're working with an MSSP that is Level 2 certified.

Anthony Timbers LLC is a CMMC Level 2 certified MSSP and an authorized C3PAO — one of the only firms in the world that has passed the same third-party assessment it conducts for defense contractors. We operate in a FedRAMP-moderate environment, hold ISO 17020:2012 accreditation as a Cybersecurity Inspection Body, and have brought 50+ DIB companies into CMMC compliance. When you choose us as your MSSP, you are working with a provider that has already proven what it takes to pass.

Why Your MSSP's Certification Status Is a Contract Risk When it Comes to CMMC

Most defense contractors spend months preparing for their CMMC Level 2 assessment — then discover their managed security provider isn't certified. Under CMMC 2.0, an uncertified MSSP that handles your CUI is classified as an External Service Provider (ESP). That means their infrastructure, their policies, and their controls all fall within your assessment boundary. Your C3PAO will assess them alongside you.

If they are not ready, you are not certified.

Anthony Timbers LLC holds CMMC Level 2 certification for our managed security operations. Our environment has been independently assessed and validated against all 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls. We provide a Shared Responsibility Matrix to every MSSP client — a document that clearly defines which controls we own versus which remain with you, so there are no surprises on assessment day.

Working with us means your MSSP risk is already resolved before your C3PAO walks in the door.

CMMC Managed Security Services — What We Cover

Our managed security program is purpose-built for CMMC Level 2 compliance. Every service maps directly to NIST SP 800-171 control domains, and every action generates the documented evidence your assessor will need to verify:

Hardware Baseline Security Configuration

Corporate Device Administration

Endpoint and Device Security

Identity and User Security

Detection, Monitoring, and Incident Response

Vulnerability and Risk Management

Data Protection and Resilience

Compliance and Governance Support

Assessment and Audit Support

Hardware Baseline Security Configuration

We establish and maintain secure baseline configurations across all hardware systems in your environment — laptops, desktops, phones, tablets, servers, and network devices. This includes standardized hardening, secure onboarding, and configuration alignment with industry best practices to ensure every system is deployed securely from day one and stays that way.

Corporate Device Administration

We act as administrators for all corporate devices, managing centralized device configuration and policy enforcement, software installation and removal, and ongoing monitoring for security-related issues. All devices are managed through a centralized platform that gives us full lifecycle control and visibility — and gives your assessor the documented management evidence CMMC requires.

Endpoint and Device Security

Managed endpoint security services include device configuration and security hardening, patch and update management, Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR / Antivirus), Mobile Device Management (MDM), and Remote Desktop Management. These controls reduce your attack surface and protect every device that touches CUI from modern threats.

Identity and User Security

User and identity protection is one of the most scrutinized areas in a CMMC assessment. Our identity security services include multi-factor authentication (MFA), secure password management, user access enforcement and role-based access control, email security protections, and security awareness training. Together, these controls strengthen user security and eliminate the credential-based attack vectors that account for the majority of CUI breaches.

Detection, Monitoring, and Incident Response

We provide continuous 24/7 managed detection and response through our Security Information and Event Management (SIEM/MDR) platform. Services include centralized log collection and alerting, incident triage and investigation, threat containment and remediation support, and post-incident reporting and lessons learned. This ensures rapid detection and response to security events without requiring you to carry internal staffing burden. DFARS 252.204-7012 reporting requirements — including the 72-hour notification window to the DoD — are built into our incident response process.

Vulnerability and Risk Management

Our vulnerability management services include continuous vulnerability scanning and automated patching, risk-based prioritization of findings, remediation guidance and validation, and ongoing vulnerability lifecycle management. This proactive approach reduces exploitable weaknesses before they can be abused and keeps your SPRS score accurate and defensible.

Data Protection and Resilience

Data protection services include secure data backup and recovery, protection against ransomware and data loss, DLP implementation and management, and recovery planning and validation. These services help ensure business continuity and data availability during security incidents — and satisfy CMMC requirements around media protection, backup, and system recovery.

Compliance and Governance Support

We assist with meeting applicable security and compliance requirements across CMMC, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and NIST-based frameworks. Services include documentation development and maintenance, control implementation, security configuration alignment, audit participation, and compliance-driven migrations. Our compliance support is ongoing — not a one-time project — because CMMC requires annual affirmation and triennial recertification.

Assessment and Audit Support

We provide full support during security and compliance assessments throughout the entire lifecycle. This includes generation of all artifacts within our responsibility, active participation in assessment interviews, evidence preparation and validation, and ongoing remediation support during and after assessments. As a C3PAO, we know exactly what assessors look for — because we are assessors. Our managed services are built to produce the evidence trail that passes.

Enterprise-Grade Security at a Fraction of the Cost

Managed security services are commonly 75% or less of the cost of a single full-time security hire — and that hire only covers one domain, works one shift, and calls in sick.

Anthony Timbers LLC provides access to a team of security specialists across operations, identity, endpoint, incident response, compliance, and audit support. You get depth across every CMMC control domain — not a single generalist trying to cover all 110 controls alone.

An Important Note on Independence

As an authorized C3PAO, Anthony Timbers LLC maintains a strict separation between our assessment practice and our managed security practice — consistent with CMMC conflict-of-interest requirements. We cannot conduct the formal CMMC Level 2 certification assessment for organizations we manage.

What this means for you: we will manage your security environment, help you build toward compliance, and support you through your assessment — but your formal certification assessment will be conducted by a separate C3PAO. We will refer you and help coordinate that process. This separation protects you and ensures your certification is clean and defensible.
