Case Study: Cornerstone Consulting Organization achieves CMMC Level 2 compliance with Flynaut

Cornerstone Consulting Organization achieves 110 of 110 NIST controls with Flynaut

Cornerstone Consulting Organization (CCO), a veteran-owned consulting firm for defense manufacturers, faced the challenge of achieving CMMC Level 2 certification within six months to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and maintain eligibility for Department of Defense contracts. Their distributed workforce, operating from various client sites, created a complex compliance scenario. Flynaut was engaged to address this urgent need and implement the required security practices.

Flynaut implemented a comprehensive solution centered on the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, deploying tools like Entra ID, Intune, and Purview to satisfy all 110 NIST SP 800-171 practices. The project was completed in 16 weeks, resulting in zero POA&M items at assessment and full certification. For CCO, Flynaut's work had a measurable impact, enabling the firm to secure $4.2 million in new defense manufacturing contracts contingent on their achieved compliance.
