Our team understands CMMC levels, NIST 800-171 controls, assessment processes, and technical requirements that DOD contracts demand.

How Right Click Supports Defense Contractors
Right Click serves Aerospace and Defense contractors through CMMC expertise, security implementation, compliance documentation, and ongoing monitoring that satisfies DOD requirements. Our approach combines technical controls with audit preparation.
Implementing CMMC Controls
We deploy access management, encryption, multi-factor authentication, logging, monitoring, incident response capabilities, and configuration management required by your certification level. Our implementations satisfy assessors while maintaining operational efficiency.
Protecting CUI
Right Click establishes secure enclaves for CUI storage and processing, implements encryption at rest and in transit, manages access controls limiting data to authorized personnel, and maintains audit trails documenting who accessed what information when.
Preparing for Assessments
We gather evidence demonstrating control effectiveness, create system security plans documenting your security posture, develop policies and procedures satisfying framework requirements, and conduct internal assessments identifying gaps before official audits.
Maintaining Continuous Compliance
CMMC requires ongoing monitoring, not one-time certification. We track control effectiveness continuously, manage configuration changes affecting security posture, address findings promptly, and ensure your environment remains compliant between assessment cycles.
Are You Sure About CMMC?
Defense contractors pursue CMMC compliance after losing contract opportunities due to certification gaps, facing increasing pressure from prime contractors to demonstrate security, or recognizing upcoming requirements will affect their ability to bid on projects. DOD mandates CMMC for contracts involving Federal Contract Information and Controlled Unclassified Information. Right Click prevents these problems by implementing required controls early, maintaining documentation continuously, and preparing contractors for assessments before deadlines threaten business operations. We understand what assessors examine, how to demonstrate compliance effectively, and where contractors commonly struggle with implementation.
Why Choose Right Click?
Right Click was founded by Jim Harrington and Baiju Mehta in 1997 and has grown to approximately 60 employees serving businesses across Greater Los Angeles. Our team includes CMMC specialists, compliance experts, and security professionals who work extensively with Defense Industrial Base contractors.
We understand the unique challenges defense contractors face including secure collaboration with government partners, supply chain security requirements, and operational needs that cannot compromise mission capability. Our solutions protect CUI while supporting engineering workflows and manufacturing operations.
Why Businesses Rely On Us
Right Click delivers managed IT services through proactive monitoring, onsite support, and personal relationships that keep businesses running reliably. Our approach prevents problems instead of reacting after systems fail and operations stop.
You work with the same people who understand your infrastructure, business goals, and workflows over time. That continuity eliminates the frustration of explaining problems repeatedly to different technicians who lack context about your systems.
We monitor networks continuously to identify potential failures before they disrupt operations. Regular maintenance, security patches, and performance optimization stop problems from developing instead of waiting until employees cannot access critical applications.
We align infrastructure investments with objectives through planning sessions that examine growth requirements, budget constraints, and operational priorities. Our recommendations support how you work rather than pushing products that generate commissions.
Our partnership with Microsoft ensures access to enterprise-grade cloud platforms, security tools, and support resources. We leverage Azure, Microsoft 365, and advanced licensing to build resilient systems that scale with your organization.
FAQs About Our IT Services for DoD Contractors in Aerospace and Defense
What CMMC level does our Aerospace and Defense company actually need?
Required CMMC level depends on contract type and data sensitivity. Level one applies to Federal Contract Information, level two protects Controlled Unclassified Information, and level three addresses advanced persistent threats. Right Click assesses your contracts, determines appropriate certification, and implements required controls.
How long does CMMC certification typically take for defense contractors?
Timeline varies based on current security posture, required level, and organizational complexity, but most contractors achieve certification within four to eight months. Right Click conducts gap assessments, prioritizes remediation, implements controls, develops documentation, and prepares for third-party assessment.
Can we maintain our existing workflows while implementing CMMC requirements?
Yes, but workflows involving CUI require security controls including access restrictions, encryption, and audit logging. Right Click designs implementations that protect data while maintaining collaboration capabilities, engineering productivity, and manufacturing operations essential to contract performance.
What happens if we fail a CMMC assessment?
Assessment failures prevent bidding on contracts requiring certification and may affect existing projects. Right Click prevents failures through internal assessments, gap remediation, and thorough preparation before official evaluation. If findings occur, we address them quickly and prepare for reassessment.
