# KNC Strategic Services

> KNC Strategic Services is a veteran-led cybersecurity and compliance services firm serving defense contractors and other organizations. Its site covers CMMC assessments and readiness, security consulting, managed services, and training.

CMMC means Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification; it is a US Department of Defense program for defense contractors. NIST SP 800-171 is a security requirements publication relevant to protecting controlled unclassified information. KNC's site describes both preparation for CMMC and formal assessments. A gap analysis or mock assessment helps identify readiness issues—it is not a certification assessment or a promise of certification. Consult the current service pages for scope and contact KNC about a specific engagement.
