Case Study: Cape Henry Associates achieves CMMC readiness and real-time compliance visibility with Apptega

Preparing for CMMC Certification and Accelerating Growth

Cape Henry Associates, a Virginia-based DoD prime and subcontractor specializing in manpower, personnel and training (MPT) services, struggled with fragmented compliance managed through spreadsheets, static documents, and shared drives that left leadership without clear visibility or confidence in protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and preparing for CMMC. To address these gaps they selected the Apptega platform as their cybersecurity and compliance system of record.

Apptega implemented a programmatic solution that harmonized NIST 800-171 with CMMC, uploaded Cape Henry’s controls, and immediately exposed previously unknown gaps—showing 92% compliance with NIST 800-171 and an effective 57% CMMC readiness from the NIST baseline. Using Apptega’s dashboards, task tracking and automated notifications, Cape Henry accelerated remediation (targeting Jan 5 but comfortably on track for mid‑December), gained audit-ready evidence, restored executive confidence, and leveraged the platform to demonstrate cybersecurity readiness and win more DoD business.
