For C3PAOs

Run assessments inside your own enclave.

Bedrock C3PAO is a self-hosted Docker container that lives inside your DIBCAC-assessed environment. Assessment data never leaves your control. Engagement handoff from contractors using Bedrock CMMC is seamless.

Your role in the enclave

C3PAOs are the assurance layer of the enclave. You assess contractor compliance against the same NIST 800-171 controls the contractor was working in. The handoff is structured: pre-organized evidence, SSP documentation, control implementation status, all in the format you'll review.

Economic model

C3PAOs license Bedrock C3PAO per assessor seat or per deployment, with bundle options for organizations that run high engagement volume. Pricing is scoped during the discovery call against your assessor count, deployment topology, and engagement throughput.

Co-sell expectations
  • List your organization on the C3PAO Marketplace to receive engagement requests from Bedrock CMMC contractors.
  • Maintain CMMC-AB / Cyber-AB authorization and DIBCAC-assessed status for the deployment environment.
  • Receive technical support during deployment and through engagement onboarding.
  • Joint webinars and partner spotlights for high-volume C3PAOs.
  • You own the assessment relationship; we never insert ourselves into the engagement.
Onboarding path
  1. 1

    Discovery call

    Walk through your assessor team size, infrastructure, and engagement volume. We scope the deployment together.

  2. 2

    Deployment

    Deploy the Bedrock C3PAO Docker container in your DIBCAC-assessed environment. Single docker compose up. PostgreSQL stays inside your network.

  3. 3

    Marketplace listing

    List your organization on the public C3PAO Marketplace so Bedrock CMMC contractors can find you and request engagements.

  4. 4

    First engagement

    We provide technical support during the first contractor engagement to validate handoff and reporting flows.

Self-hosted by design

CAP v2.0 §3.19-3.20 require assessment data to remain under the C3PAO's direct control. Bedrock C3PAO's self-hosted architecture is engineered for that requirement.

Engagement handoff

Contractors using Bedrock CMMC share their compliance posture directly with your Bedrock C3PAO instance. Evidence is pre-staged. No email chains or PDF rebuilds.
