Full Job Description

Location: Remote (U.S.-based preferred)

Engagement Type: Independent Contractor (1099) — B2B / Subcontract Basis

Compensation: $88–$110/hour DOE

Hours: Project-based, flexible — scoped around your availability and client demand

About the Role

We are an established Managed Services Provider (MSP) looking to partner with independent cybersecurity and compliance consulting solo practitioners to support client engagements around CMMC 2.0 readiness and certification and broader security posture improvement for organizations pursuing or maintaining Department of Defense (DoD) contract eligibility.

This engagement is built for consultants who run their own IT or cybersecurity practice and are looking to take on additional project-based work without giving up ownership of their business. You'll work as an independent subcontractor — not an employee — bringing your own expertise, methodology, and tools to supplement client engagements alongside our MSP engineering team.

We're flexible on engagement structure: single-project statements of work, ongoing part-time capacity, or overflow support during peak assessment periods. You set your availability; we scope the work around it. This is well suited to consultants who already serve their own client base and want to fill capacity with additional project work, or who prefer the autonomy of contract-to-contract engagements over a single fixed placement.

You will work directly with client leadership, internal IT teams, and our MSP engineers to assess environments, identify compliance gaps against CMMC 2.0 requirements, and guide organizations through certification readiness.

Responsibilities

Conduct cybersecurity and compliance assessments aligned to CMMC 2.0 requirements across Level 1 (Foundational) and Level 2 (Advanced) scopes
Perform gap analyses against NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 (and awareness of the Rev. 3 transition) and map findings to the CMMC 2.0 assessment scope
Support development and maintenance of a System Security Plan (SSP) and Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M)
Assist clients with SPRS (Supplier Performance Risk System) score calculation and submission readiness
Help clients prepare for self-assessments, C3PAO-led certification assessments, or DIBCAC engagements, depending on required CMMC level
Develop and review security policies, procedures, and system documentation required for audit evidence
Recommend and help implement remediation plans and security controls to close identified gaps
Collaborate with internal MSP engineers and client stakeholders throughout the engagement
Assist with incident response planning, risk assessments, and general security best practices
Participate in client meetings and provide executive-level guidance on compliance posture and timelines
Help organizations mature their overall security operations and general audit readiness

Required Qualifications

Active independent consulting practice, LLC, or S-Corp (or willingness to engage on a B2B/1099 basis) — this role is structured for business owners, not W-2 placement
Proven, hands-on experience preparing organizations for CMMC 2.0 — not just general cybersecurity consulting
One or more of the following credentials strongly preferred:
CMMC Certified Professional (CCP) or CMMC Certified Assessor (CCA) — Cyber AB credentials
CISSP
CISA or equivalent GRC/compliance certification
Strong working knowledge of:
NIST SP 800-171 / NIST SP 800-172 (for Level 3 awareness)
NIST Cybersecurity Framework
CMMC 2.0 scoping, assessment methodology, and documentation requirements (SSP, POA&M, SPRS)
Microsoft 365 GCC High / commercial security and compliance tools
Endpoint protection and identity management
MFA, conditional access, and security hardening
Experience working with government contractors, defense manufacturers, or other CUI-handling regulated environments
Ability to independently manage client engagements and communicate professionally with executives
Strong documentation and technical writing skills
Prior MSP, MSSP, or independent consulting experience highly preferred

Preferred Technical Experience

Microsoft Defender suite
Azure AD / Entra ID
SIEM/SOC tooling
Vulnerability management platforms
Security awareness training programs
Backup, disaster recovery, and ransomware mitigation strategies
Secure network architecture, firewall technologies, and CUI enclave design

Why This Engagement Works for Independent Consultants

You stay independent. This is a subcontract relationship, not an offer of employment — invoice under your own business, retain your other clients, and set the terms of your availability
No exclusivity required. Take on as much or as little project work as fits alongside your existing book of business
Project-based and recurring work available. Single engagements, overflow capacity, or longer-term recurring project relationships — your choice
Remote-first, with occasional client-facing calls during standard business hours for scheduled engagements
Long-term potential for a steady pipeline of CMMC 2.0 project work as client demand grows

To Apply

Please submit a resume or company capability statement highlighting your cybersecurity consulting, CMMC 2.0, and NIST 800-171 experience, along with your business structure (independent contractor, LLC, etc.) and current availability for project work.

Pay: $88.00 - $110.00 per hour

Benefits:

Flexible schedule

Application Question(s):

Are you an independent Security Consultant that has flexibility in their schedule to work with our customers?

Experience:

government contractors, defense manufacturers: 5 years (Preferred)
CMMC 2.0: 5 years (Preferred)

Work Location: Remote
