If your company holds a Department of Defense contract or subcontract, or supplies a prime that does, CMMC requirements can reach you through your contract clauses. Many Acadiana companies that think of themselves as oil and gas or marine businesses also build, repair or supply for Navy, Army Corps or other defense programs. If you receive drawings, specifications or other information marked as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), or Federal Contract Information (FCI), CMMC is likely in your future.
Vital is a cybersecurity and IT provider. We help you implement and document the controls; the formal Level 2 certification assessment is performed by an authorized C3PAO.
We identify where FCI and CUI enter, live and leave your business: email, file shares, engineering workstations, ERP systems, field laptops and paper. Good scoping often shrinks the environment that needs the full control set, which lowers cost.
We assess each requirement, record what is in place and what is missing, and score where you stand today so you know what to fix before an assessment.
We write the System Security Plan describing how each requirement is met and a Plan of Action and Milestones for the gaps, in the form assessors expect.
Because we also run managed IT and security, we close the gaps: multi-factor authentication, access control, encryption, audit logging, configuration management, incident response, secure backups, endpoint detection and response and 24/7/365 monitoring. See managed security services.
CMMC is not a one-time project. We keep logs, records, training and policy reviews current so your next assessment or affirmation is routine.
That last one is growing fast. CUI must never go into a public AI tool. See AI compliance and governance.
For day-to-day IT in field and industrial operations, including yard offices, field crews and remote sites, see IT for oilfield companies and critical infrastructure.
Vital Integrators is based in Acadiana, under current ownership since 2013, and serves Lafayette, Baton Rouge and contractors across Louisiana in person. We provide technical and documentation support, not legal or contracting advice.
The free Cyber and AI Risk Score takes about 5 minutes and returns a Cyber Risk Score, an AI Readiness grade, an estimated dollar exposure and a 30/60/90-day roadmap, reviewed by a senior team member within one business day. For CMMC, it is the first step before a full NIST SP 800-171 gap assessment.

No. A C3PAO performs the formal Level 2 certification assessment. We help you implement and document the controls before that assessment.
It applies to any company that holds or supports a Department of Defense contract and handles FCI or CUI, which includes many Acadiana oil and gas, marine and fabrication firms.
A document describing how your company meets each NIST SP 800-171 requirement. It is required for CMMC Level 2.
Controlled Unclassified Information must never go into a public AI tool. We add AI rules to your CMMC program.
