Axyl is a compliance partner built for the companies that supply the U.S. defense mission — and the sensitive information that comes with it.
Every contractor and subcontractor that handles CUI — Controlled Unclassified Information — carries real responsibility for keeping it safe. Federal contracts make that responsibility explicit through DFARS 252.204-7012, which requires contractors to implement the 110 security controls of NIST SP 800-171, safeguard covered defense information, and report cyber incidents to the Department of Defense within 72 hours. For most small and mid-sized businesses, meeting those obligations means navigating requirements that were written for organizations with far larger security teams.
That's the gap Axyl was founded to close. We translate dense federal requirements into a clear, practical path — mapping where your CUI lives, standing up the policies and technical controls assessors expect, and assembling the evidence that proves it. The result is a security program that holds up to scrutiny, not a binder that sits on a shelf.
It all comes together at the CMMC Assessment — the point where the Department of Defense verifies that a contractor's safeguards are real. We prepare our clients so that assessment is a confirmation of work already done, not a scramble. By getting compliant and staying compliant, the businesses we serve protect their place in the defense supply chain, keep winning contracts, and grow with confidence.
