For Michigan defense contractors, cybersecurity is now a business requirement, not just an IT initiative. As the Department of Defense rolls out CMMC 2.0, contractors handling Federal Contract Information or Controlled Unclassified Information must prove compliance to stay eligible for contracts. Fuse Technology Group helps Michigan manufacturers, engineering firms, and aerospace companies get there, from gap assessments through remediation to ongoing compliance management.
Michigan is home to one of the nation’s largest defense manufacturing and engineering ecosystems. Thousands of businesses throughout Metro Detroit and across the state contribute to the Department of Defense supply chain by producing components, software, engineering services, and advanced manufacturing solutions.
As CMMC requirements become part of DoD contract awards, cybersecurity directly impacts your ability to compete for government work.
Organizations that fail to meet the required CMMC level risk:
Preparing early allows your organization to strengthen security, reduce remediation costs, and avoid delays as assessment demand continues to grow.
CMMC 2.0 simplifies the original framework into three certification levels based on the sensitivity of the information your organization handles.
For most manufacturers, engineering firms, and government subcontractors throughout Michigan, achieving Level 2 compliance is the primary objective.
Achieving compliance involves much more than completing documentation. Our team provides technical, operational, and strategic support throughout every phase of the certification process.
We evaluate your existing IT environment against CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 requirements, identifying security gaps and developing a prioritized remediation roadmap.
Our engineers implement the technical safeguards required to satisfy security controls, including access management, encryption, endpoint protection, network segmentation, logging, and system monitoring.
We develop and maintain comprehensive System Security Plans that document your cybersecurity controls and demonstrate compliance during assessments.
When remediation is still in progress, we help develop and maintain your Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M), ensuring remaining items are documented and prioritized appropriately.
We help organizations calculate and submit Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) scores accurately, reducing administrative complexity while supporting contract eligibility.
Before your formal assessment, we review documentation, validate technical controls, and prepare your team for interactions with Certified Third-Party Assessment Organizations.
Cybersecurity is continually evolving. We provide ongoing monitoring, patch management, policy updates, and security improvements to help your organization maintain compliance after certification.
Fuse Technology Group supports organizations across Michigan’s defense industrial base, including:
We help manufacturers secure production environments while protecting intellectual property and meeting DoD cybersecurity requirements.
Our team supports aerospace suppliers with cybersecurity controls designed to protect engineering data and sensitive project information.
Many Michigan automotive companies participate in defense manufacturing. We help these organizations implement CMMC-aligned security without disrupting production.
Engineering organizations handling technical drawings, specifications, or government project documentation benefit from stronger access controls, encryption, and secure collaboration.
Whether you’re a prime contractor or a subcontractor, we help build compliant IT environments that support long-term contract eligibility.
Successfully navigating CMMC requires more than understanding cybersecurity; it requires an IT partner who understands compliance, documentation, and business operations.
Organizations choose Fuse because we provide:
Rather than simply identifying problems, we work alongside your team to implement lasting solutions.
We begin by understanding your contracts, IT infrastructure, business operations, and compliance objectives.
Next, we perform a detailed CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 gap assessment to identify technical and procedural deficiencies.
Our engineers implement security improvements, including endpoint protection, identity management, encryption, network security, and monitoring.
We prepare the documentation required for certification, including your System Security Plan, policies, procedures, and supporting evidence.
Before your assessment, we conduct readiness reviews and help coordinate with your selected C3PAO.
Following certification, we continue managing your cybersecurity environment to help you remain compliant as technology and regulations evolve.
Fuse Technology Group proudly supports defense contractors throughout Michigan, including:
Our local presence enables us to provide responsive onsite support while helping organizations throughout Michigan strengthen their cybersecurity posture.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is the Department of Defense’s cybersecurity program designed to verify that contractors adequately protect Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
Organizations that bid on or perform covered Department of Defense contracts requiring protection of FCI or CUI may need to achieve the appropriate CMMC certification level.
NIST SP 800-171 is the cybersecurity framework containing 110 security controls that serve as the foundation for CMMC Level 2 certification.
Preparation timelines vary depending on your existing cybersecurity maturity, but many organizations require several months to complete assessments, remediation, documentation, and readiness activities.
Yes. Unlike consulting firms that only provide recommendations, we implement the technical controls needed to improve your cybersecurity environment and support CMMC compliance.
The Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) stores contractor assessment scores used by the Department of Defense during procurement. We help organizations calculate and submit these scores accurately.
Absolutely. We offer ongoing cybersecurity management, patching, monitoring, documentation updates, and compliance support to help organizations maintain certification over time.
Yes. We frequently partner with internal IT departments by providing specialized cybersecurity expertise, compliance guidance, and project support.
