Cybersecurity compliance isn't abstract. It has real consequences for the contracts you can pursue, the audits you pass, and the clients who trust you with sensitive information. The businesses below came to Dragnet at different starting points, in different industries, with different challenges. What they share is the outcome: expert guidance, real results, and a partner they trust.
McKinney Specialty Labs: Audit Readiness, Built and Sustained
McKinney Specialty Labs operates in an environment where compliance isn't just a goal, it's a moving target, shaped by evolving regulations and multiple simultaneous audits. They needed a partner who could keep up, dig in, and actually understand their business.
Dragnet delivered on all three.
"Dragnet took the time to learn the unique challenges of our business and vertical, which gave us the advantage we need to continuously improve our cyber hygiene."
The result has been a dramatic improvement in both audit readiness and audit outcomes. Where previous providers had left gaps, Dragnet provided the thoroughness and responsiveness that complex compliance demands.
"Dragnet has been critical in radically improving our audit readiness and success results."
CNK Machine Manufacturing: From -203 to Full CMMC 2.0 Compliance in 12 Months
When CNK Machine Manufacturing first engaged Dragnet, their SPRS score was -203, a starting point that would have discouraged most. Dragnet didn't flinch. Instead, they got to work building a customized path forward for this small aerospace manufacturer with limited internal resources.
"Stacy took the time to learn our operation, our constraints, and our goals. She didn't give us a one-size-fits-all solution — she gave us our solution."
One year later, CNK was fully compliant with CMMC 2.0 and eligible for DoD contracts they couldn't have pursued before. Patrick's advice to businesses in the same position:
"Don't wait, and don't be intimidated by where you're starting from. Dragnet will meet you at your level, understand your business, and build a realistic path forward."
Outside The Box, LLC: Expert Compliance Support with the Feel of a True Partner
As a small, woman-owned business operating in the federal contracting space, Outside The Box, LLC needed more than competent service, they needed a compliance partner who understood what it means to run a small business under pressure. Dragnet fit that description from day one.
"From our very first in-person meeting, it was clear that they were the right choice for our organization."
Since partnering with Dragnet, Outside The Box has benefited from on-demand consultations, responsive threat support, and the policies and procedures they need to stay compliant. Most importantly, they've been able to stay focused on what they do best.
"They take on the heavy lifting so we can stay focused on our core priorities."
