The Problem

The Level 2 wave is here — and most SMBs aren't ready

Prohibitive Cost

Traditional CMMC consultants and tooling can run $500K+ over three years. Most small defense contractors simply can't absorb that — especially when certification is table stakes, not optional.

No Internal Expertise

You need someone who speaks NIST 800-171, CUI scoping, and SSPs fluently. Most SMBs don't have that person on staff.

Clock Is Ticking

Contract requirements are already specifying CMMC certification. Every month of delay is a contract you can't bid on — or one you could lose.

How It Works

A 90-day sprint from uncertain to assessment-ready

Weeks 1–3

Gap Assessment & Scoping

Map your current environment against the 110 NIST 800-171 practices. Define your CUI boundary. Know exactly where you stand — and what to fix first.

Weeks 4-7

System Security Plan (SSP)

Build a complete, audit-ready SSP using proven templates and live expert review. Your cohort peers are writing theirs in parallel — shared learnings accelerate everyone.

Weeks 8-10

POA&M & Remediation

Develop your Plan of Action & Milestones. Close priority gaps with guided remediation playbooks. Address the exact controls assessors scrutinize most.

Weeks 11-13

Mock Assessment & Readiness

Stress-test your documentation and controls with a simulated C3PAO-style assessment. Walk into your real assessment with confidence, not anxiety.

The Collective Advantage

You don't have to figure out CMMC alone

Every company in your cohort is facing the same compliance mandate, the same questions, and the same deadline pressure. The Collective model turns isolation into accountability — and shared cost into 30–50% savings for everyone.

Cohorts are grouped by CMMC level, industry sub-vertical, and contract size — so the companies beside you are relevant peers, not random strangers. You share the journey, split the cost, and learn from each other's wins and mistakes in real time.

Weekly Live Sessions

Expert-led working sessions each week covering the current sprint milestone. Bring questions. Leave with answers.

Private Slack Channel

Async support between sessions. Ask your peers and Koop's team anything, anytime. No question is too basic.

Templates & Playbooks

Battle-tested SSP templates, POA&M frameworks, and evidence collection guides — ready to customize, not build from zero.

1:1 Koop Advisory

Company-specific guidance on scoping, architecture, and edge cases that don't fit the group format.

Automatic Grant Qualification

Koop screens you against every known federal and state grant program and handles applications — reducing your out-of-pocket cost even further.

You may already qualify for federal & state funding

Many defense contractors are eligible for grants and financial aid programs designed to help SMBs meet CMMC requirements — but most don't know they exist. Koop automatically screens your company against all available federal and state programs and handles the application process for you. It's built into the Collective at no extra cost.

"We were drowning in NIST controls and had no idea where to start. The Collective gave us a roadmap, a support system, and honestly — sanity. We saved over $200K compared to going the traditional route."
