Cybersecurity compliance team conducting CMMC Level 2 audit for California engineering firm

Engineering Firm: Cybersecurity in San Diego

A Detailed Look at How CompuOne guided a San Diego-Based Engineering Firm Through CMMC Level II Compliance to Secure Government Contracts.

CompuOne Client Profile
An engineering firm (client confidential) with 20 employees and multiple office locations throughout California sought strategic cybersecurity guidance amid increasing regulatory pressure. After four years with a different IT provider, the firm faced mounting compliance risks, outdated systems, and the imminent threat of losing key federal contracts.

CompuOne Client Focus
Despite the complexity of their operations, the firm lacked even the most fundamental IT policies and safeguards. A technical audit revealed:

  • Critical security patches had not been applied in over two years
  • No formalized cybersecurity framework or documentation was in place
  • Previous vendor reports had masked infrastructure vulnerabilities
  • The firm was unprepared for the requirements of CMMC Level 2 certification, now essential for Department of Defense contracting

CompuOne Vision + Solution
CompuOne was engaged to conduct a comprehensive CMMC Level 2 audit. Our process combined deep regulatory expertise with practical execution:

  • Delivered a full GAP analysis and risk assessment, identifying key compliance deficiencies
  • Developed a customized remediation roadmap that balanced technical requirements with financial realities
  • Outlined a scalable cybersecurity strategy to meet near-term compliance and long-term operational security

CompuOne Stands Apart
The client selected CompuOne not only for our deep domain knowledge in CMMC and NIST 800-171 standards, but also for our ability to:

  • Communicate technical findings with clarity and transparency
  • Provide tailored recommendations without overengineering the solution
  • Deliver results with strong project management and consistent follow-through

CompuOne Client Results

  • Achieved alignment with CMMC Level 2 requirements
  • Preserved eligibility for critical government contracts
