For DoD contractors, keeping sensitive data like CUI and FCI secure while ensuring systems stay up is a big job—and with limited staff, it can feel overwhelming. Rooted Technology Solutions gets the pressure small contractors face—we provide tailored IT solutions to protect your data, keep operations running, and help you stay on track with CMMC and NIST guidelines, so you can focus on winning and delivering contracts without tech stress.

Industry Focus:

  • We understand the stakes of protecting sensitive data like CUI and FCI—it’s critical for your contracts, and a slip-up could cost you big when you’re already juggling a lot.
  • You need systems running smoothly to meet tight deadlines, but limited resources make downtime a real worry.
  • Cyber risks are high, with only 4% of small contractors meeting basic CMMC standards in 2024, leaving you open to threats that could derail your work.
  • We set up secure workstations and firewalls, aware of CMMC needs for CUI and FCI, keeping your data safe and systems solid.
  • We offer secure email with Microsoft 365 GCC and vulnerability scanning to help you follow NIST guidelines and prep for audits, keeping things efficient and on track.
  • Our secure backup solutions are tested regularly to ensure your data is protected and accessible if you ever need it.

How an MSP Can Help:
An MSP delivers secure infrastructure, proactive monitoring, and practical support tailored to small DoD contractors—we don’t house servers or your data, partnering instead with SOC 2 compliant vendors for top-tier security standards. This means firewalls to block threats, email protection to stop phishing, vulnerability scans to help follow NIST guidelines and make CMMC progress, and backups to keep you running—all with an eye on defense contracting’s unique demands.

Paired Solutions:

  • Rooted Managed IT: Enterprise plan for endpoint protection, patch management, monitoring and reporting, plus comprehensive support—annual assessments, unlimited remote and on-site help, included Rooted V-Scan vulnerability scanning, and Employee Cybersecurity Training with simulated phishing tests to keep your systems secure and reliable, with plans starting as low as $10/month.
  • Rooted Co-Managed IT: Managed Compliance for tailored IT roadmaps and audit-ready reporting to help with CMMC and NIST, Managed Cybersecurity for layered protection with real-time threat detection, Managed Microsoft 365 with GCC options for secure messaging, encryption, archiving, and advanced threat protection suited for CUI and FCI.
  • Rooted Cyber Defense: Rooted V-Scan for vulnerability scanning to spot and address risks, Firewall Protection for network security with audits and monitoring to align with NIST guidelines.

Why this matters: With only 4% of small contractors meeting CMMC basics and threats growing, we ease your load with the Enterprise plan’s all-in-one support, plus V-Scan, Firewall Protection, and GCC options to help you make CMMC progress and follow NIST guidelines. With Rooted, you can focus on delivering for your contracts, knowing your tech is secure and reliable, giving you peace of mind in a tough field.
