Win the contract.
Meet the mandate.
Federal contracts come with security mandates that are not optional, and getting them wrong can cost you the award. For 20 years IPC has helped contractors meet CMMC and NIST 800-171, protect controlled information, and run secure, compliant IT, fully managed or right alongside your team.
A 30-minute conversation with an IPC expert, no obligation. We review your environment and CMMC and NIST 800-171 posture and give you an honest read on what to fix first.
A structured professional engagement that follows the Clarity Conversation. We validate the findings, map every gap and risk, and build a prioritized roadmap you can act on.
What every contractor's IT must prove
CMMC, NIST 800-171, and controlled-information rules, with your next award on the line.
CMMC and NIST 800-171 are pass-fail for federal work. We get you compliant and keep you there, with the documentation and SPRS scores your contracting officers expect.
CUI carries real obligations and real penalties. We bring 24/7 monitoring, access controls, and layered defense built to protect controlled information across your environment.
A System Security Plan and POA&M are only as good as the evidence behind them. We build, maintain, and document your controls so an assessment confirms work already done.
The gaps we close for contractors
Most contractors come to us carrying some version of these three. We take them off your plate.
A clear path to contract-ready IT
The same structured methodology IPC applies across every engagement, brought to your compliance program. You always know where you stand and what comes next.
We map your environment against CMMC and NIST 800-171, identify control gaps, and give you an honest picture of where you stand and your SPRS score.
You get a prioritized roadmap, a System Security Plan, and a POA&M scoped to your contracts and controlled information. We guide every step.
We run and monitor your environment, maintain controls and evidence, and keep your posture current as requirements and contracts evolve.
We hold the standard your contracts demand
As a CMMC Registered Practitioner Organization, we live in NIST 800-171 and controlled-information requirements every day, not as a checkbox.
Practiced expertise across CMMC Levels 1, 2, and 3 that most IT providers cannot fully support.
We live in the controls, the SSP, and the POA&M, not as a one-time project but as an ongoing program.
We scope, protect, and document controlled unclassified information so you can prove compliance to contracting officers.
Evidence maintained and organized, so an assessment confirms work already done rather than a scramble.

Why contractors choose IPC
Practiced expertise across CMMC Levels 1, 2, and 3. We can support your program at the named-role level, not just advise.
Controls, System Security Plans, and POA&Ms are daily work for us, from experience, not from a template.
Run IT entirely or extend your existing team with compliance depth they can't staff alone. Same standard of care either way.
We keep you contract-ready so a security requirement never costs you the work you've earned.
Not PE-backed, not chasing an exit. Every decision is driven by what is right for your business. That is why our retention rate is 98%.
You reach experienced engineers who already know your environment, not a script-reading queue. Every escalation reaches someone who can actually fix it.
