Stop guessing on 32 CFR § 170.23. Inherit 65+ technical controls on Day 1, isolate multi-tier risk across your entire supply chain, and defend your contract vehicles at the audit table — with an elite team that sits on your side.
Our engineering team maps your flow-down footprint, identifies critical gaps, and delivers a scoped execution plan — in 72 hours. No fluff. No sales deck. Just a blueprint for contract survival.
We map exactly where your CUI lives — and what it will cost to lock it down. No surprises at the audit table.
Identify the subs most likely to fail — before the C3PAO finds them in your assessment scope.
A tailored execution plan aligned to your recompete timeline and sub-tier count. Battle-tested, zero ambiguity.
Three threat vectors directly impacting your contract vehicles, program margins, and executive exposure — ranked by enforcement severity. Active enforcement actions, not theory.
Under CMMC enforcement, if a key sub-tier fails their C3PAO audit or loses certification mid-program, your primary program stops. Period. Not delayed — suspended. That's 60–95% of your revenue at risk on a single sub's failure.
The DoJ's Civil Cyber-Fraud Initiative shifted liability directly to the Prime. Misrepresented sub-tier SPRS scores land on your desk. Treble damages + per-claim penalties of $13,946–$27,894. Qui tam whistleblowers get 15–30% of recovery.
Unmanaged subcontractor laptops are the #1 entry point for CUI leaks that skyrocket your audit costs. A single compromised Tier-3 sub can pull 30+ additional systems into scope — turning a $250K audit into a $1.5M event.
The Lionfish Secure VDI Enclave moves your target suppliers into a controlled cloud perimeter where they instantly inherit 65 technical controls — leaving only 10 left to manage. Architectural isolation. Not consulting theater.
Sub-tier suppliers access CUI through a managed virtual desktop — never on unmanaged hardware. Scope controlled. Boundary defined.
Patent-pending AI methodology (#17941843) continuously maps monitoring data to 110 controls — a click-ready SSP package, always current.
Every control, every sub, every date — logged and version-controlled. The ironclad audit trail your General Counsel needs to shut down FCA exposure.
Real-time command-and-control visibility across your entire sub-tier network. CISO, CFO, and Counsel — one unified operating picture.
From boundary mapping to C3PAO assessment readiness — a proven execution playbook with zero ambiguity on milestones.
We sit at the table during your live C3PAO assessment. We present the evidence. We share the operational risk. Green Beret "By, With, and Through."
Lionfish is a mission-driven SDVOSB founded by a Special Forces operator. We don't sell compliance software — we embed into your program, own the execution, and stand beside you at the audit table. Our "Radical Patience" model means we meet your messy sub-tiers exactly where they are and bring them across the line without breaking your program milestones.
CMMC assessment lead times are 6–12 months. If your next option year or recompete is within 18 months, the clock has already started. Book your 72-hour scoping session and get a definitive answer on your risk posture.
