THEY CHARGE
$400/HR FOR
THIS.

CMMC, ITAR, CUI, FAR/DFARS, export control. Defense contractors pay consultants a fortune to explain regulations that are not actually that hard once you know where the real risk lives. I built this infrastructure from scratch across 14 years inside defense, aerospace, healthcare, and international trade. The tools here are what I wish had existed when I was doing it.

CMMC Phase 2 enforcement is active. Defense contractors without Level 2 certification are losing contracts now.

CMMC Level 1 Self-Assessment Kit

The compliance industry has figured out that DoD contractors are scared and on a deadline. So they sell fear, 150-page guides, $50K "readiness assessments," and retainer engagements that keep you dependent on them forever. This tool exists to end that. Stop paying consultants to tell you what you don't have in place. You already know. What you need is a system to fix it, and the documentation to prove you did. I spent 14 years doing this inside real defense contractors, Honeywell, Southwest Microwave, Mitsubishi. I watched companies spend six figures on consultants for work that should have cost them a weekend and some honest self-assessment. I built this because that's insane.

The Approach

BUILT INSIDE
THE MACHINE.

Most compliance content is written by consultants who learned the regulations by reading them. This channel is built by someone who implemented them across defense contracting, aerospace joint ventures, healthcare, and international trade. At scale. Without them.

ITAR Technology Control Plans and export screening automation. CMMC self-assessment programs and NIST 800-171 implementation. $100M+ healthcare portfolio governance and capital asset contracting. FAR/DFARS flowdown analysis across 30+ affiliated companies. AS9100 and ISO compliance in aerospace. CLM systems built from scratch.

The tools here are what I wish had existed when I was building those programs. The parts that actually matter when an auditor is in the room, a DDTC investigation is pending, or a prime is pushing back on your flowdown clause.

Coverage Areas
High Priority

CMMC & NIST 800-171

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification

110 security practices across 14 domains. Phase 2 enforcement is live and third-party assessments are required for contracts involving CUI. This channel covers what matters, what does not, and how to build a program that actually passes — starting with the self-assessment tool built from real implementation experience.

ITAR and Export Control

ITAR · EAR · OFAC

ITAR violations can end a company. No bankruptcy protection, no second chances with DDTC. This channel covers jurisdiction determination, license requirements, Technology Control Plans, OFAC screening, and how to build a program before you need it — built from years running live ITAR-controlled programs.

DDTC BIS OFAC TCP Part 120-130

FAR & DFARS

Federal Acquisition Regulation

Flowdown clauses carry risk that most contractors never read until it is too late. This channel covers the clauses that matter, what they actually require, how to negotiate them, and how to build a subcontract program that does not expose you downstream.

Flowdowns Subcontracts FAR 52 DFARS 252 CLM

CUI Handling

Controlled Unclassified Information

CUI is the single most misunderstood requirement in defense contracting. Most contractors do not know what they have, where it lives, or how to mark it. This channel covers the NARA registry, handling requirements, system boundary definition, and what an auditor actually checks.

NARA Registry Marking Safeguarding 32 CFR 2002

Commercial & Healthcare Contracting

Capital Assets · IT · Strategic Suppliers

Compliance does not stop at the defense fence line. This channel covers commercial contract governance, $100M+ healthcare portfolio management, capital asset procurement, IT agreements, and the risk frameworks that apply when FAR does not but the exposure is just as real.

Commercial T&Cs Healthcare Capital Assets SaaS/IT Risk

Aerospace & AS9100

AS9100 · ISO · Quality Management

Aerospace compliance spans quality management systems, AS9100 certification requirements, NDA and development agreements, maintenance and service contracts, and supplier qualification under pressure from primes who have zero tolerance for non-conformance.

Who This Is For

Small Defense Contractors

You have contracts with DoD primes or direct federal agencies. You know CMMC is coming and you do not have a compliance team. This channel is built for you.

Contracts Professionals

You manage the contracts but compliance falls in your lap too. You need to know enough to ask the right questions and catch the real risks before they become problems.

Executives and Owners

You are signing the certifications. You are the one who goes to jail if ITAR is violated. You need enough knowledge to know what questions to ask and when to be worried.
