Why Ariento?

We offer top-tier quality at a fair price

How much will a CMMC Level 2 certification assessment cost when the final rule is passed? Nobody knows. For Joint Surveillance, we continue to discount our certification assessments due to the nature of it being a pilot program and everything that comes with that. Our average JSVA has ranged from $40,000 - $80,000 with that (deeply) discounted pricing. We are also allowing our clients to lock in their discounted price even if they don’t get selected by the DIBCAC for Joint Surveillance, and be first in line for an official CMMC Level 2 certification when the final rule is published.

We understand complex organizations and the compliance challenges they face

You name it, we’ve worked with it. Multinationals, Fortune 500, public universities, private universities, federally funded reaserch and development centers (FFRDC), private equity, subsidiaries, and more. We know the challenges complex organizations face.

We’ve been involved from day 1

We have been working closely with the CMMC stakeholders to establish CMMC since the beginning. We hosted one of the first educational conferences (Up On Cyber) with the DoD, National Archives ISOO, and Cyber AB (formerly CMMC AB). Members of our board sat on committees with the creators of CMMC (JH APL and CM SEI) and we have five (5) of the original CMMC provisional program assessors on staff (full time W2, not contractors), whom have helped more than 250 DIB companies with their CMMC journey.

We are CMMC/ NIST/ DFARS experts

Our team of assessors provides best-in-class readiness and advisory services as well as CMMC certification assessments. Each of our C3PAO team members has the following qualifications:

  • Certified by the Cyber AB

  • W2, full time Ariento employees (no 1099s)

  • Actual experience implementing and maintaining security and compliance programs

  • Have been on both sides of an assessment (assessor and assessee)

  • Minimum of 10 years of relevant experience

  • Diverse experience doing similar work in at least one other major cyber compliance framework: ISO 27001, SOC 2, SOX, HITRUST, FedRAMP, NIST 800-53 or CSF

Our experience is Second to none

Ariento has more than 70 years of combined experience in the U.S. Federal Government cybersecurity and compliance. Comprised of a veteran team boasting decades of experience in assessments, audits and operational cybersecurity, IT and regulatory compliance our practitioners have actual experience implementing and maintaining security and compliance programs, and have been on both sides of an assessment. We’ve been involved with establishing or assessing security and compliance programs at some of the most complex organizations and academic institutions in the world.

We aren’t a competitor

Assessments allow for deep looks under the hood by possible competitors and potential official conflict of interest (OCI) concerns. As a small to mid-sized C3PAO that doesn’t do government contracting, the risk for future OCI or giving the wrong company a look under the hood is mitigated.
