CMMC compliance support and NIST SP 800-171 monitoring.
Monitoring, human triage, and documented response support your control implementation. Your contractor team owns the compliance program and assessment responsibilities.
CMMC compliance support, not certification
CMMC is a contractor responsibility. BlackBunker supports the operational monitoring and response work behind relevant requirements. The service does not certify an environment, confer CMMC status, or guarantee an assessment result. Define the system boundary, applicable level, and contract requirements with your assessment team. Monitoring evidence covers the agreed service scope, not every practice in your compliance program.
NIST SP 800-171 audit and accountability
Audit and accountability work includes recording and reviewing relevant system activity. A 24/7 SOC adds analysts who investigate covered endpoint, identity, email, and cloud signals. BlackBunker incident logs and reporting support your review and evidence process. CMMC Level 2 uses NIST SP 800-171 Revision 2 requirements specified by the CMMC rule. Confirm the version required by your contract rather than assuming a newer publication replaces it.
Incident response and documented actions
BlackBunker provides human triage with a twelve-minute analyst response commitment. Active response within the agreed tier and authority can isolate hosts, terminate sessions, revoke tokens, and block attacker infrastructure. Written incident timelines support incident response review. Your team retains responsibility for policies, recovery decisions, required notifications, and other controls. Where DFARS 252.204-7012 applies, the contractor remains responsible for covered incident reporting within 72 hours of discovery.
How engagements start
Deployment takes under an hour in most environments, followed by tuning for coverage live in one week. Every analyst is a US military veteran and US citizen on US soil. REGULATED adds contractual US-citizen-only staffing, a GCC High or Azure Government enclave, CUI handling and chain of custody, and prime-contractor reporting. Agree covered sources, response authority, and evidence responsibilities in writing before relying on the service for control support.
