Technology and CMMC Advisory for Government Contractors Winning the Contract Is One Challenge. Keeping It Compliant Is Another.

CUI handling, self-attestation and vendor risk now matter as much in federal work as price and past performance. MALA helps contractors meet federal requirements without over-engineering commercial operations. Start with a no-fee initial assessment.

Federal requirements most IT vendors miss.

Federal-specific gaps

Hybrid environments

Commercial and federal lines sharing systems and controls.

Common questions

What clients ask first.

What does the review cover?

CUI handling and data flow, self-attestation and SPRS readiness, vendor and subcontractor risk, and system boundaries.

Why do generalist IT vendors fall short?

Many have never configured for CUI, built an SPRS-ready posture or defended a decision to a contracting officer.

What's at risk?

Contract eligibility, a formal investigation, or past-performance ratings that affect every future bid.

We have commercial and federal lines. Now what?

We segment your environment so federal requirements apply only where they need to.
