Practical Compliance

One compliance readiness platform, built from real-world IT leadership experience, that runs inside the Microsoft environment your organization already trusts. Add a module for each framework you answer to.

The Platform

Prepare once. Stay ready.

Every Practical Compliance module does two jobs. It gets you ready: organizing your documentation, mapping it to the requirements, and showing the gaps. Then it keeps you ready, by managing the review and update cycles that compliance depends on long after the first assessment.

Because the modules share one platform, the policies and evidence you gather for one framework carry over to the next.

Practical CMMC

The CMMC readiness platform for small and mid-size contractors

A Microsoft Copilot Studio solution that helps small and mid-size businesses prepare for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). It runs natively inside your own Microsoft 365 / SharePoint Online environment, pairing a conversational AI agent with automated workflows that organize policy documentation, map it against required security controls, track readiness, and surface gaps before a formal assessment does.

The Problem

Readiness is hardest on smaller organizations

CMMC requirements span dozens of controls across multiple security domains. Demonstrating compliance means producing and maintaining a large body of written policies, mapping each one to the controls it satisfies, and keeping evidence current as policies and systems change.

Larger contractors absorb this with dedicated compliance staff and expensive GRC software. Organizations with a limited compliance team usually can't: most tools either assume a full team or price themselves out of reach. The result is documentation that is incomplete, outdated, or scattered across file shares with no clear line from a written policy to the control it is meant to satisfy. That gap is exactly what an assessor is trained to find.

The Solution

A guided, tracked process inside your own tenant

Practical CMMC is a Copilot Studio agent that deploys directly into your own SharePoint Online site. There is no separate application to stand up, no new place for sensitive policy data to live, and no vendor holding a copy of your compliance documents.

Automated workflows handle the repetitive, error-prone parts of compliance work: organizing uploaded policies, matching them to the controls they address, preparing documents for review, and rolling everything up into a readiness picture you or your IT provider can act on.

Key Capabilities

What It Does

Project & Workspace Setup

Spins up a new CMMC readiness project inside your own SharePoint environment, including the folder structure, reference library, and control schema the project needs.

Policy Upload & Processing

Accepts uploaded policy documents, prepares them for review (including OCR for scanned files), and files them into the right place in the project.

Policy-to-Control Mapping

Matches uploaded policies against the required CMMC control templates, so each policy's coverage of specific controls is explicit rather than assumed.

Reference Library Management

Keeps the underlying library of CMMC control definitions and templates current, so mappings stay accurate as guidance changes.

Readiness Tracking

Rolls policy and control status up into a single readiness summary showing what's complete, what's missing, and what still needs review.

Maintenance & Renewal Reminders

Flags policies and documents approaching review or renewal dates, so readiness doesn't quietly lapse between assessments.

Why Copilot Studio and SharePoint-Native

The platform is built in Microsoft Copilot Studio because of its security model: it inherits your organization's existing Microsoft 365 permissions and data governance rather than introducing a parallel set of access rules.

Deploying inside your own SharePoint Online environment follows the same principle. Compliance evidence for a federal contracting requirement stays inside the systems you already control and audit, instead of being copied into a third-party platform. A tool that creates a new, less-governed place for sensitive policy data to sit works against the goal it is meant to support.

Who It's For

Built for organizations working with the federal government

The platform is designed for any organization that intends to do work with or for the federal government, whether as a prime contractor or a subcontractor. It is a fit for small and mid-size businesses that have a limited compliance team and no budget for enterprise GRC software.

  • Contractors and subcontractors preparing for CMMC certification for the first time
  • Organizations with policies in place but no maintained mapping to the controls they are meant to satisfy
  • Managed service providers and IT consulting partners who want to offer CMMC readiness to their own small and mid-size clients

The benefit reaches beyond federal work. Any organization can use a documented, well-organized security program to show customers and business partners that it takes security seriously, which builds credibility and trust, and can make it easier to win and keep business.

Get Started

Pilot deployments

I'm working with a select group of organizations and IT partners on guided deployments. If you support small and mid-size businesses that need CMMC readiness, or you're preparing your own organization, I'd welcome a conversation.

Practical Compliance products are readiness aids. They support your preparation but do not certify, authorize, or attest to compliance, and do not guarantee or substitute for a formal assessment or audit.
