Why does Ashburn need this work?

  • Ashburn sits in the middle of the Loudoun data center corridor, one of the largest concentrations of data centers anywhere, so many local contractors run or rely on colocation and cloud infrastructure that has to be in or out of a CUI boundary on purpose.
  • Federal IT and services firms in Ashburn often hold DFARS 252.204-7012 clauses through primes in the Dulles corridor, which makes a current SPRS score and a defensible System Security Plan part of doing business.
  • Hosting and managed service providers here are frequently a Security Protection Asset in a client's CMMC scope, and need their own responsibilities documented in a shared responsibility matrix.
  • Ashburn is the closest market we serve, about 10 miles from Leesburg.

What do Ashburn contractors ask?

Are you based in Ashburn?

No. We are based in Leesburg, about 10 miles from Ashburn. We come to Ashburn clients on site whenever the work calls for it.

Can our colocation provider be part of our CMMC scope?

Yes, if it hosts CUI systems or provides security for them. The provider's role is documented in the SSP and a shared responsibility matrix so the assessor can see who meets which requirement.

Do you work with Ashburn companies that only handle FCI?

Yes. Companies that only handle Federal Contract Information fall under FAR 52.204-21 and CMMC Level 1, and we can scope and document that work too.
