-- Digital Beachhead Expands Services to Support DoD Contractors with CMMC Certification
Digital Beachhead, a Certified Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), is proud to announce its expanded role in helping Department of Defense (DoD) contractors navigate the new Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements. Starting November 2025, all new DoD contract solicitations will require contractors to be CMMC-certified at a level appropriate to the sensitivity of the information they handle. As an Authorized C3PAO, Digital Beachhead is positioned to offer comprehensive consulting and assessment services to support contractors through this critical transition.
“We understand the importance of CMMC certification and are committed to providing our clients with the expertise they need to comply with the new DoD standards,” said Michael “Mike” Crandall, CEO of Digital Beachhead. “As an Authorized C3PAO, we have the knowledge and resources to guide contractors through every stage of the CMMC certification process and ensure they meet the necessary cybersecurity standards.”
Recognized as the Best Cybersecurity Consulting Firm in the United States of 2025
In addition to its role in supporting DoD contractors with CMMC certification, Digital Beachhead is proud to announce that it has been named “Best Cybersecurity Consulting Firm in the United States of 2025”. This prestigious award has been announced and is now live on BestofBestReview.com, a renowned authority in the cybersecurity industry.
“We are honored to receive this recognition, which reflects our ongoing commitment to providing high-quality cybersecurity consulting services,” said Crandall. “Being recognized as the best in our field is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team and the trust our clients place in us to help them navigate today’s cybersecurity challenges.”
Understanding the CMMC Requirements
The CMMC is a framework designed to ensure that DoD contractors implement appropriate cybersecurity practices to protect sensitive information. The certification is structured into five levels, each of which specifies the required cybersecurity practices for contractors, depending on the level of information they handle. These requirements are part of the DoD's efforts to enhance cybersecurity across its entire supply chain and reduce the risk of cyberattacks that could compromise national security.
Starting in November 2025, all new DoD solicitations will include CMMC certification as part of the eligibility requirements, making compliance essential for all contractors seeking to secure new contracts. Digital Beachhead’s consulting services are designed to help organizations assess their current cybersecurity posture, implement the necessary improvements, and successfully obtain the appropriate CMMC certification.
“Digital Beachhead is here to help defense contractors meet the cybersecurity challenges of today and tomorrow,” said Crandall. “The path to cybersecurity begins with a conversation, so let’s talk soon. Together, we’ll ensure you’re prepared for the upcoming CMMC certification deadlines.”
