OSCP-certified testers. Manual CUI environment testing mapped to control families 3.1, 3.5, 3.12, and 3.13. C3PAO-ready reports for CMMC Level 2 — starting at $2,000.
CUI Environment Testing
We test your full CUI boundary — systems, applications, and network segments where Controlled Unclassified Information is stored, processed, or transmitted. Evidence your C3PAO assessor can evaluate directly against 3.12.1.
Access Control & Identity Testing
Control families 3.1 and 3.5 cover access control and identification. We test privilege escalation, RBAC enforcement, MFA bypass, and every authentication boundary in your CUI environment.
Configuration & Boundary Protection
Families 3.4 and 3.13 cover configuration management and system communications protection. We identify unauthorized components, weak configurations, and segmentation failures that would surface in a C3PAO assessment.
C3PAO-Ready Report in 5 Days
Findings cross-referenced to specific 800-171 control families. CVSS scores, reproduction steps, and remediation guidance structured for your SSP and POA&M. Free retest included once findings are remediated.
Fixed Price from $2,000
No hourly billing. No surprise scope changes. Fixed quote within 24 hours of your scoping call. The price you’re quoted is the price you pay.
OSCP-Certified Testers
Every tester holds OSCP or equivalent (CREST, GPEN, CEH). Credentials your C3PAO assessor will recognize. Methodology documented to NIST SP 800-115 standards.
Every finding cross-referenced to the specific control family your C3PAO assessor will test.
Manual testing across every attack surface your C3PAO will evaluate under 3.12.1 and 3.11.2.
AUTHENTICATION & ACCESS CONTROL
Families 3.1 and 3.5 are the most common findings in C3PAO assessments. We test every access boundary — privilege escalation, RBAC enforcement, MFA bypass, session handling, and authentication edge cases your documentation says are covered but your configuration doesn’t reflect.
NETWORK & SYSTEM PROTECTION
Family 3.13 covers system and communications protection. We test your CUI boundary from both inside and outside — validating that your scope reduction strategy actually holds up against a real attacker, not just on paper in your SSP.

Does NIST 800-171 require a penetration test?
Requirement 3.12.1 requires periodic security control assessments and 3.11.2 requires risk assessments to identify vulnerabilities. Penetration testing is the most defensible evidence accepted by C3PAO assessors and DCMA for these requirements.
How often should a NIST 800-171 pentest be performed?
Annual penetration testing is the prevailing industry standard, with additional testing after significant changes to the CUI environment or before a formal CMMC Level 2 assessment.
What does a NIST 800-171 pentest actually test?
We test all 14 control families against your actual environment — access controls, authentication, configuration management, system and communications protection. Not a checklist. Real attacker behavior against real systems.
Will the pentest results satisfy my C3PAO assessor?
Yes. Our reports are formatted to NIST SP 800-115 methodology and reference specific 800-171 control families. C3PAO assessors recognize OSCP, CREST, and CEH credentials. We document everything to support your SSP and POA&M.
How much does a NIST 800-171 penetration test cost?
Starting from $2,000. Fixed price scoped to your CUI environment size. Free retest included. Quote within 24 hours.
