Engagements

Fixed fees, named deliverables, and a price you can read without asking.

Most firms in this market quote after a discovery call. That is a reasonable way to sell consulting and a poor way to buy it when you are a fifty-person supplier trying to work out whether this is a $5,000 problem or a $50,000 one. Here is what things cost.

Start here

Readiness assessment

$6,000fixed, two to three weeks

Where you actually stand against NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2, with the evidence to back each position or a note saying there is none. If you have submitted an SPRS score and could not defend it today, this is the engagement that tells you how far off it is.

  • A worked position on all 110 requirements, against the assessment objectives in NIST SP 800-171A
  • An SPRS score worksheet, with the point weight applied to each unmet requirement traced to the DoD Assessment Methodology
  • A system security plan built from what you actually run, not a template with your name in the header
  • A POA&M with an owner and a target date on every open item
  • An evidence index: what exists, where it lives, and what an assessor will ask for that you cannot currently produce
  • Everything loaded into Overwatch 7Six, so the record is live rather than a PDF that ages
Book the assessment

When the gap is wide

Readiness sprint

$14,400fixed, eight to ten weeks

The assessment plus the work that follows it. For suppliers who already know the answer is bad and want the gap closed rather than measured.

  • Everything in the assessment
  • Evidence collection worked alongside your team or your MSP, requirement by requirement
  • Remediation sequencing by SPRS point value, so the first work done is the work that moves the score most
  • A system security plan finished to the point you would hand it to a prime
  • Weekly working sessions across the engagement
  • Twelve months of Overwatch 7Six included
Talk through scope

The platform on its own

Evidence management for NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 self-assessment. Map evidence to requirement intent, track ownership, and record validation dates. Priced by headcount, because that is what drives how much evidence there is to keep straight. Annual prepay takes two months off.

Up to 50 employees

$600

per month

51 to 200 employees

$1,200

per month

201 to 500 employees

$2,400

per month

Every plan carries all 110 requirements, unlimited evidence, POA&M and affirmation tracking, the deadline digest, and the evidence review assistant. There is no tier that withholds part of the standard. Assessment clients get the first twelve months at half price. Annual prepay on the smallest tier is $7,200, below what the nearest platforms list for a single framework at the same headcount.

Managed service providers running this across several client organizations are priced per organization. Tell us how many and we will quote it.

How these numbers were set

Every price here sits at least 20 percent below what the same work is quoted at elsewhere. That is a standing position rather than a promotion, and it does not expire.

EngagementQuoted elsewhereHere
Evidence-based gap assessment, under 50 employees$5,000 to $8,000$6,000
Gap assessment across the small and mid defense supply base$3,500 to $20,000$6,000
Guided remediation engagement$10,000 and up, usually open-ended$14,400, fixed
Compliance platform, up to 50 employees$7,500 to $15,000 a year$7,200 a year

Ranges are from published vendor and consultancy pricing for NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 and CMMC Level 2 work, surveyed September 2026. Much of this market quotes only after a discovery call, so a range reflects what providers publish rather than every price paid.

What we do not sell

  • Overwatch 7Six is not a C3PAO and does not perform certification assessments. A CMMC certification assessment is conducted by an authorized C3PAO, and nothing sold here substitutes for one.
  • We do not handle Controlled Unclassified Information. Evidence uploaded to the platform must be free of CUI, and that is enforced in the database rather than by policy alone.
  • We do not bill hourly. Every engagement on this page is fixed fee, agreed before work starts.
  • We do not resell security tooling and take no vendor commissions, so the remediation advice has nothing riding on it.

Not sure which one you need?

Run the free self-check first. Fifteen minutes against all 110 requirements will tell you whether you are looking at an assessment or a sprint, and it costs nothing to find out.
