When CMMC requirements collide with the pace of defense contracting, businesses are left with a tough choice: spend months waiting for your subcontractors to get compliant, or walk away from the trusted partners you rely on to get the job done.
Because every member of your supply chain must meet specific maturity standards to handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), a non-compliant sub is more than a delay; it can be a threat to your eligibility.
Thankfully, you no longer have to choose; introducing Prime Furnished Equipment™ (PFE).
Prime Furnished Equipment™ (PFE)
Prime Furnished Equipment™ allows you to treat your subcontractor’s access as a managed endpoint within your existing CMMC enclave. Instead of forcing them to build their own CMMC-compliant infrastructure, you can bring them into yours with ease.
This allows for:
- Rapid Onboarding: Integrate partners into your secure environment in days, not months.
- Inherited Compliance*: By operating within your environment, subcontractors inherit your enclave’s security posture, allowing them to handle CUI immediately.
- Operational Continuity: Your subcontractors focus on high-value deliverables instead of navigating complex IT compliance mandates.
Why PFE is a Competitive Advantage
- Keep Your Partnerships: Keep the subcontractors and business partnerships that bring the most value to your programs.
- Boost Agility: Bid on new contracts with the confidence that your preferred subs are easily integrated.
- Reduce Risk: By centralizing your supply chain within your enclave, you shrink your attack surface and simplify your own audit processes.
- Saves Money: Cut thousands of dollars of compliance costs from your supply chain, lowering your cumulative wrap rates.
We believe CMMC compliance shouldn’t slow your teams down. This is why all of our enclaves include features to make your operations more flexible, secure, and built for real work.

* Note: Your subcontractors must comply with your policies, procedures, and practices. Subcontractors may not use your environment to perform tasks for contracts that you are not involved in.
