Why choose Hudson for defense-contractor IT

Keep technical remediation connected to the systems you operate every day.

Hudson connects approved technical improvements with ongoing account, device, cloud and backup management. Your team gets an implementation path with named responsibilities and supporting records, while formal assessment, certification and legal conclusions remain with the appropriate qualified parties.

Discovery and scope

Review contracts, customer requests, users, locations, systems, support responsibilities, and known concerns.

Environment baseline

Inventory identities, endpoints, cloud services, networks, backups, vendors, and documentation.

Remediation roadmap

Prioritize technical gaps by risk, contractual relevance, dependency, effort, and ownership.

Implementation

Configure, replace, document, and test approved technical controls and operational improvements.

Evidence preparation

Organize technical records, inventories, diagrams, configuration evidence, and remediation history.

Ongoing management

Maintain users, devices, access, patching, backups, documentation, support, and change records with U.S.-based IT support.

Discuss Your Technical Implementation Scope

Compliance-aware technical planning

Support the technical work without confusing IT services with certification.

CMMC requirements are now implemented in the DFARS and can appear in DoD solicitations and contracts during the current phased rollout. The required CMMC level, assessment type, systems in scope, and handling of FCI or CUI are contract-specific. Hudson MSP can help gather technical facts, identify gaps, implement approved changes, organize evidence, and maintain systems once the applicable scope is confirmed.

  • Document users, devices, systems, vendors, and relevant data flows
  • Review identity, MFA, permissions, and administrative access
  • Assess endpoint, network, email, cloud, and backup practices
  • Prioritize remediation work by risk, dependency, and ownership
  • Support technical evidence and documentation maintenance
  • Coordinate with qualified compliance, legal, contracting, or assessment professionals

CUIControlled Unclassified Information requiring safeguarding under applicable rules and contracts.
CMMCThe DoD program for assessing contractor implementation of required information-security protections under 32 CFR part 170 and applicable DFARS clauses.
NIST SP 800-171NIST security requirements for protecting CUI in nonfederal systems. NIST published Revision 3 in May 2024; contract-specific applicability should be confirmed.

Current official references

Check the governing source before treating any framework requirement as in scope.

CMMC, DFARS, and NIST requirements change over time and apply differently by contract and system boundary. These official sources are the right starting point for current language; contract interpretation and certification decisions remain with the appropriate contracting, legal, compliance, or assessment authority.

DoD acquisition

Current CMMC contract clauses

Acquisition.gov publishes the current DFARS CMMC clauses and phase-in rules, including 252.204-7021 and 252.204-7025.

Safeguarding

Defense contractor IT FAQ

Questions organizations ask before beginning technical remediation.

Clear answers about Hudson MSP’s role, CMMC-related support, technical controls, ongoing IT management, and initial discovery.

Does Hudson MSP certify organizations for CMMC?
No. Hudson MSP does not present its IT services as a CMMC certification, legal opinion, or guarantee of compliance. Formal applicability, scope, assessment, and certification decisions should be confirmed with the authorized parties defined by the program and the organization’s contracts.
Can Hudson MSP help with NIST SP 800-171 technical controls?
Hudson MSP can help review and improve applicable technical areas involving identity, endpoints, Microsoft 365, networks, backups, security tools, asset records, and documentation. Final applicability and compliance determinations require qualified contractual, legal, compliance, or assessment guidance.
What information is useful for an initial review?
Useful information may include contract requirements, customer security requests, user and device counts, locations, Microsoft 365 details, network records, security tools, backup coverage, policies, asset lists, vendors, known risks, and current IT responsibilities.
Can Hudson MSP support ongoing IT after remediation?
Yes, when the environment and service scope are a fit. Ongoing support may include help desk, Microsoft 365 administration, endpoint and asset management, network support, cybersecurity alignment, backup planning, vendor coordination, and documentation maintenance.
Does Hudson MSP support government organizations directly?
Yes. Hudson MSP can provide direct managed, co-managed, project, cloud, cybersecurity, network, backup, endpoint, Microsoft 365, and user-support services to government organizations when the requested scope, procurement path, security requirements, and service model are a fit.
Does Hudson MSP also support defense contractors and subcontractors?
Yes. Hudson MSP supports defense contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and other Texas organizations with elevated security, documentation, customer, or contractual IT requirements.
Is Hudson MSP support U.S.-based?
Yes. Hudson MSP provides U.S.-based IT support for day-to-day assistance, Microsoft 365 administration, endpoint and network issues, security coordination, documentation, and escalation within the agreed service scope.
Is CMMC now part of DoD contracting requirements?
Yes. Current DFARS rules implement CMMC requirements in DoD contracting through a phased rollout. Whether a solicitation or contract requires Level 1, Level 2 self-assessment, Level 2 C3PAO assessment, or Level 3 DIBCAC assessment depends on the specific requirement and systems in scope. Confirm the current solicitation, contract clauses, and applicable 32 CFR part 170 requirements before planning technical work.
How does an organization get started?
The first step is a factual discovery review covering confirmed requirements, users, devices, systems, Microsoft 365, security tools, networks, backups, documentation, vendors, recurring problems, and business priorities.
