Dynamic Quest is a CMMC Level 2-certified MSP serving the DIB
CMMC Managed Services
The certified infrastructure underneath your CMMC program. 99.95% of MSPs aren't CMMC certified. Dynamic Quest is.
Most CMMC programs stall in the same place
Operating within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) means securely managing federal contract information (FCI) and controlled unclassified information (CUI). The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) sets the standards your contracts depend on. For contractors handling CUI, the Level 2 obligation is mandatory: a self-assessment against all 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls, a score submitted to SPRS, and an annual executive affirmation. The Department of War suspended third-party certification requirements on July 13, 2026, pending a 60-day review; the standard itself never moved.
Most CMMC programs stall in the same place: the contractor knows what controls they need, often from an advisor or a Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO), but does not have a certified environment to actually run them in. Building one from scratch takes 6 to 18 months (Huntress, 2026) and a team that the contractor probably does not have.
The readiness picture across the DIB is stark: roughly 80,000 defense contractors must meet CMMC Level 2 requirements. Only 1% of defense contractors report being fully prepared (2025 State of the DIB Report, CyberSheath/Merrill Research). The median Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) score across the DIB sits at 60 out of 110.
Dynamic Quest closes that gap. We have already done the work to build, certify, and operate a CMMC Level 2 environment. When you engage us, your CUI handlers operate inside ours. You inherit a certified posture instead of constructing one.
Inherit a certified environment instead of building one
You inherit a certified environment
Microsoft GCC High, Entra ID with conditional access, FIPS 140-3 validated encryption, and a 24x7 security operations stack. Already built, already certified, already operating.
Premium seats scope to your CUI handlers only
DQ Complete Plus carries the elevated controls CMMC requires for users handling CUI. Standard DQ Complete continues to serve everyone else. That distinction often makes the difference between a CMMC program that is economically viable and one that isn't.
Audit-ready evidence on day one
Policies, procedures, logs, tickets, training records, maintained continuously. Not scrambled together before assessment.
What we do, and where we hand off
Protecting CUI is a continuous engineering job. Our managed services deliver the technical foundation your CMMC program runs on through:
- Continuous monitoring and active threat detection across the certified environment
- Strict access controls across all systems, applications, and infrastructure involved in storing, processing, or transmitting FCI or CUI
- Technical evidence collection: configuration records, audit logs, monitoring data, control implementation records, all maintained continuously and accessible to your compliance advisor
- Endpoint, identity, and security operations management for the users and systems in scope
- A documented shared responsibility matrix that defines exactly which controls we manage, which you manage, and which are jointly managed
Your compliance advisor or RPO handles the work that is not ours: policy authorship, the System Security Plan, the Plan of Action and Milestones, and audit-readiness coordination with the CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO). We work with consultants and RPOs we trust (Kratos is a frequent partner) and can introduce you if you do not already have one.
Why DoD contractors choose Dynamic Quest
Defense contractors and subcontractors choose Dynamic Quest because we are among the fewer than 0.05% of managed service providers operating to the standard they would be evaluated against (CMMC Marketplace, April 2026).

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC?
NIST SP 800-171 is a set of specific cybersecurity guidelines designed to protect sensitive government data. The CMMC program is the overarching verification mechanism the DoD uses to confirm whether defense contractors and subcontractors have actually implemented the NIST guidelines. Our CMMC managed services help you satisfy the technical controls of the former to successfully pass the audits required by the latter.
Is an IT assessment a viable alternative to CMMC managed services?
A standard IT assessment simply reviews your current environment for general performance and security gaps, but it doesn’t ensure you’re compliant with CMMC 2.0. On the other hand, CMMC managed services provide continuous, active management of your network, specifically mapped to the CMMC 2.0 framework to maintain and demonstrate ongoing compliance.
Do we still need to perform a self-assessment if we already have an MSP partner?
Yes. The DoD requires contractors to submit their own SPRS scores, and since the July 13, 2026 Phase 2 suspension, that self-assessment is the primary enforcement mechanism. Engaging Dynamic Quest gives you the technical evidence and infrastructure records your compliance advisor or RPO uses to validate that self-assessment, but the assessment and submission itself remain yours and your advisor’s responsibility.
How does a shared responsibility matrix work with an MSP for CMMC compliance?
When you partner with a managed service provider (MSP), security duties are divided between your organization and the provider. Our team and your compliance advisor define which controls live where, allowing for a collaborative effort in maintaining compliance and addressing any vulnerabilities or gaps that may arise.
What is the typical timeline to align our systems with CMMC requirements?
While basic compliance steps can be initiated quickly, achieving total alignment depends on your starting compliance posture. We can take you from your current state to a fully operational, audit-ready footprint in 60 to 120 days. Early preparation gives you the flexibility to address deficiencies gradually without disrupting daily operations.
Is Dynamic Quest itself CMMC certified?
Yes. Dynamic Quest completed our CMMC Level 2 assessment with a perfect 110/110 score on the first try, conducted by Forvis Mazars. Our Certificate of Status was officially issued June 15, 2026, and our status is verifiable in the DoD’s SPRS system. Fewer than 0.05% of MSPs operate to the CMMC Level 2 standard (CMMC Marketplace, April 2026); Dynamic Quest is one of them.
When your prime asks for your SPRS score or proof of certification, will you be ready?
Phase 2 certification requirements were suspended on July 13, 2026. Your self-assessment, SPRS score, and annual affirmation were not. The reform task force reports back within 60 days, and the controls behind a defensible score take months to implement. The contractors in the strongest position at the next turn of policy are the ones operating on verified controls today. A 30-minute consultation with a Dynamic Quest CMMC specialist gets you a real read on where you stand and what engaging us would look like in practice, including whether engaging us is the right move at all.
