About.

At Pentakt, we are on a mission to help businesses understand and adhere to cyber security, information assurance and compliance whether you are a prime/sub-contractor or an MSP servicing primes and subs. We are not a replacement for your current IT services, our goal is to help provide a clearer understanding of security frameworks on your path to accreditation.

Established in 2023

We know DFARS 7012 has been out since 2017 and we are late to the CMMC party but don't count us out yet. Our experience in more complex frameworks such as NIST 800-53 give us our edge to help businesses implement NIST 800-171.​

Our Goal

Help businesses in the SouthWest achieve CMMC Level 2 Certification will always be #1.

We also want to correct misinformation and properly inform businesses on the process to becoming CMMC Level 2 Certified. No bologna.​
