The Problem

Most organizations are not truly ready for a C3PAO assessment.

They struggle with:

Disorganized policies and procedures
Incomplete or weak supporting evidence
Lack of traceability between controls and implementation
Time-consuming manual preparation efforts

This leads to delays, increased costs, and failed assessments.

A3PO helps organizations prepare for and streamline the CMMC assessment process.

We organize existing documentation, evidence, and security artifacts into a clean, defensible, repeatable package that can be used for readiness reviews, pre-assessments, and formal assessment support.

For Partners

Add CMMC assessment capacity — under your own brand.

A3PO turns client artifacts into a human-validated readiness assessment in a fraction of the time. C3PAOs use it to pre-screen client readiness; RPOs, MSPs, and CMMC service providers white-label A3PO Core and Enhanced under their own brand — while Alpha Team Solutions handles the assessment work in the background.

You bring the business and own the relationship. We deliver the results, customized with your branding and ready to build remediation work on.

FAQ

Frequently asked.

Is A3PO a replacement for a C3PAO?
No. A3PO prepares your organization for a C3PAO assessment by ensuring your documentation and evidence are complete, organized, and aligned.
How long does the process take?
Timelines vary, but A3PO significantly accelerates preparation compared to manual efforts.
What if we have little or no documentation?
A3PO can support organizations at all stages, including those starting from scratch — see our Comprehensive offering.
What do the assessment-ready packages actually include?
With our Core offering, we review what you have and tell you where you stand before you head into your C3PAO assessment. With our Enhanced offering, we review what you have and give you a prioritized remediation roadmap. With our Comprehensive offering, we review what you have, identify what is missing, and help build the missing pieces so the package is much closer to assessment-ready.
Can you work with our existing System Security Plan (SSP)?
Yes. A3PO ingests your existing documentation — SSP, policies, procedures, and supporting artifacts — and analyzes them against CMMC Level 2 requirements. We work with what you have and identify what needs to be strengthened or created.
How long does the engagement actually take?
Most Core engagements complete in under 2 weeks. Enhanced engagements typically take 2 weeks depending on documentation volume and organizational complexity. Comprehensive engagements, which include documentation creation, run 3-4 weeks.
What happens after A3PO? Do you help us find a C3PAO?
A3PO does not conduct or broker CMMC assessments — that is the exclusive role of authorized C3PAOs. We can, however, point you toward the CMMC-AB Marketplace to locate an authorized assessor once your package is ready.
