Choosing the Right RPO for CMMC Compliance

Choosing the Right RPO for CMMC Compliance

Get Started with CMMC Compliance →

As the Department of Defense (DoD) continues enforcing of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), defense contractors and subcontractors working with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must demonstrate strict compliance. The stakes are high—and navigating CMMC requirements alone can lead to costly missteps and missed opportunities. That’s where a Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO) like Tego comes in.

What Is an RPO—and Why Does It Matter?

An RPO is a vetted, authorized partner recognized by the CyberAB to help organizations prepare for CMMC assessments. Choosing the right RPO is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in your compliance journey.

A trusted RPO will:

  • Translate complex requirements into clear, actionable steps
  • Guide you through policy, control, and implementation planning
  • Offer technical insight grounded in real-world experience
  • Help control costs and reduce risk throughout the process

However, not all RPOs provide the same level of service or strategic value.

Tego is more than just a checkbox partner—we’re your comprehensive CMMC compliance guide. From initial scoping through implementation and readiness assessments, our team supports you every step of the way.

Here’s how Tego distinguishes itself:

 Strategic Leadership

Our team is led by a former CIO with 18 years of industry experience and is supported by senior engineers and ISACA-certified auditors (CISAs) who have over 20 years of IT audit expertise.

Full Lifecycle Support

We don’t stop at assessments. Tego offers:

  • Guidance on vendor and enclave selection
  • Negotiation support for aligning terms with the Shared Responsibility Model (SRM)
  • Technical implementation helps to strengthen security controls.
  • Internal audits to confirm readiness prior to a C3PAO assessment

Cost Control and Risk Mitigation

CMMC Level 2 assessments and secure enclaves can easily derail budgets. Tego helps maintain cost control while ensuring that security and compliance are not compromised.

As a Value-Added Reseller, we provide direct access to security tools, hardware, and services—reducing complexity and costs by streamlining procurement.

See the Difference for Yourself

Not every RPO provides hands-on support, in-depth technical insight, and cost-saving strategies. At Tego, we prioritize a partnership-first approach, assisting clients in avoiding surprises, staying on budget, and accelerating their certification timeline.
