CMMC 2.0 & Defense Contractor IT Compliance for Knoxville Manufacturers

CMMC 2.0 & Defense Contractor IT Compliance for Knoxville Manufacturers

With Oak Ridge National Laboratory anchoring a deep defense and advanced-manufacturing supply chain across East Tennessee, Knoxville-area contractors are under growing pressure to prove CMMC 2.0 readiness — not just claim it. AT-NET helps Knoxville manufacturers and defense contractors build the security controls and documentation that requirement actually demands.

What CMMC-Ready IT Includes

  • Gap assessments against CMMC 2.0 levels — a clear picture of where you stand today, and what’s required to close the gap.
  • Access & identity controls — MFA, role-based access, and least-privilege configurations aligned to CMMC practices.
  • Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) handling — encryption, storage, and access controls built around how CUI actually moves through your business.
  • Continuous monitoring & logging — the audit trail assessors and primes expect to see.
  • Documentation support — System Security Plans and POA&Ms built and maintained, not assembled the week before an assessment.
  • Ongoing compliance management — a dedicated vCIO who keeps your posture current as CMMC requirements evolve.

Built for East Tennessee’s Defense Supply Chain

Whether you’re a direct DoD contractor or a subcontractor several tiers into the supply chain, flowing-down CMMC requirements are becoming a condition of doing business. AT-NET’s Knoxville team works with manufacturers and contractors across the region to translate those requirements into a practical, budgetable IT roadmap — not just a compliance checklist.

Compliance Without Losing the Local Relationship

Big national compliance consultancies can audit you. AT-NET’s Knoxville team implements and maintains the controls day-to-day, with a local point of contact who understands both your production environment and your compliance obligations.
