When Sandem Industries started exploring their path to CMMC Level 2 readiness, they weren’t looking for a massive overhaul or an inflated consulting engagement. They just wanted a clear, affordable way to CMMC compliance. Though the road to CMMC Level 2 can be long, technical, and expensive, they partnered with Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO) Alluvionic and their Managed Service Provider (MSP), Team Logic IT, to set them up for success.
“We weren’t looking for a complicated engagement or to hand everything off to outside vendors,” said Sandem’s VP of Finance, Dawn Donadio. “Alluvionic gave us straightforward guidance and usable tools that fit our team and our budget.”
From Zero to Baseline—Fast
The engagement kicked off with a focused, interview-based assessment that quickly established a clear baseline aligned with CMMC 2.0 Level 2 and NIST SP 800-171. Team Logic IT, deeply involved in many of the affected systems and processes, played a key role and worked closely with Alluvionic throughout. This efficient collaboration helped identify compliance gaps early and produce an actionable plan without the delays of a lengthy discovery phase.
“Alluvionic kept everything organized and focused, which made our job easier and helped Sandem stay on track,” said James Kimberlin, Owner of Team Logic IT in Wyckoff, NJ.
Budget-Friendly Execution with In-House Expertise
Sandem had a capable internal team ready to take on the heavy lifting. Alluvionic stepped in to provide expert direction, validate progress, and supply the templated documentation needed to meet CMMC Level 2 requirements.
As in all projects, unexpected delays threatened to pull the effort off course, but Alluvionic’s support kept the momentum going. Fast-paced documentation delivery helped balance out the schedule, and the project wrapped on time.
What’s Next: Ready for C3PAO Assessment
With the bulk of the compliance work done, Sandem is now preparing for a formal certification assessment with a CMMC Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO)
They’ve asked Alluvionic to stay involved for final readiness support and even sit in during the assessment.
