Essendis helps defense contractors and regulated organizations meet tough security requirements — CMMC 2.0, NIST 800-171, HIPAA, SOC 2 — and build cloud environments that pass audits the first time. Advisors who speak auditor. Engineers who ship. One team.

CMMC enforcement is here: every new DoD contract now carries assessment requirements, and Level 2 certification demands expand through 2026. Essendis takes contractors from first gap analysis to a certified environment — including a client, RPS Defense, that scored a perfect 110/110 on its CMMC Level 2 assessment with A-LIGN, with no POA&M required.
Most firms hand you a findings report and a handshake. Essendis advisors — former Big Four auditors — translate requirements into an actionable plan, and our cloud engineers build it: secure enclaves, migrations, and managed environments. No lost context, no second vendor to manage. Two teams under one roof:

Federal Small Business Concern Control ID: 002263271 · Federal Unique Entity ID: GZEHUQR13DE7 · DoD CAGE Code: 9DX02. Essendis is a Microsoft Government Cloud reseller and AOS-G partner.
