Tier-2 Aerospace Subcontractor: Level 2 Readiness in 9 Months
- Challenge
- Regional aerospace supplier with flow-down from a major North Texas prime had a draft SSP authored by a previous MSP, a SPRS score in the low 60s, and CUI scattered across commercial M365 and three engineering file shares. The prime's C3PAO assessment had just wrapped, which put them on the clock for their own certification.
- Outcome
- Established a GCC High enclave for CUI, re-baselined the SSP against 800-171A scoring, closed all 5-point deductions in the first six months, and moved 3-point items onto a defensible POA&M. SPRS score moved from the low 60s to a score consistent with a clean Level 2 assessment, with the C3PAO engagement scheduled inside the flow-down window.
“TODO — pull a real client quote that emphasizes the disciplined remediation sequencing, not the marketing gloss.”
