One of Few Organizations Authorized to Certify CMMC Compliance Nationwide

Founded by military cybersecurity professionals who spent over 16 years securing defense networks in operational environments where security failures have real consequences.

From Afghanistan
to Defense Contractors

In 2014, Amira Armond deployed to Afghanistan to migrate hospital networks for NATO forces.

After 16 years securing U.S. Navy and DISA networks, including architecting worldwide secure cloud solutions for DISA and leading change management for NMCI’s million-seat network, Amira founded Kieri Solutions in 2015.

That military background isn’t a marketing angle. Amira built the company on the same standards she upheld when lives were on the line.

Today, we're one of only a handful of authorized C3PAOs in the United States.

But unlike large consultancies serving thousands of clients, we remain deliberately focused on small and mid-sized defense contractors; organizations with 50-1,000 users who need expert guidance, not enterprise overhead.

What Kieri Solutions is Built On

Operational discipline shapes everything we do. When we design a compliance program or review your security controls, we’re drawing on decades of protecting the nation’s most sensitive networks.

Proven Results

What our clients and assessors say about working with Kieri

We Don't Just Advise. We've Lived It.

Before helping a single client, we put our own documentation and architecture through CMMC Level 2 assessment. We passed with a perfect score using the same solutions we now offer you.

Every template. Every procedure. Every configuration. Proven in actual DoD evaluation.

You implement solutions we staked our own business on, not untested frameworks we’ve never validated.

We Can Actually Certify You.

Our team has completed 50+ assessments since CMMC went live. That experience means we know exactly what DIBCAC expects and how to get you there.

Kieri Solutions is one of few organizations in the country authorized to conduct official CMMC Level 2 assessments and issue certifications. That authorization isn’t handed out freely. It requires passing our own DIBCAC assessment, maintaining ISO standards, and meeting ongoing quality requirements.

Right-Sized Solutions

Most compliance frameworks were designed for large organizations with dedicated cybersecurity teams and unlimited budgets. That’s not the reality for most defense contractors. Kieri builds solutions specifically for organizations with 50 to 1,000 users.

Our documentation, reference architecture, and consulting are designed for companies running lean IT departments. You don’t need a 20-person security team to maintain compliance with our approach. A part-time system administrator and a monthly vCISO meeting is enough.

Secure Networks That Work.

We’ve seen compliance programs that lock systems down so tightly that employees can’t do their jobs. That’s not security. That’s a productivity problem disguised as a compliance program.

Kieri takes a risk-based approach. We design solutions that meet every NIST SP 800-171 requirement while keeping your network functional for your staff. Your team should be able to work remotely, access email on mobile devices, and collaborate without fighting their own security tools.

We Help Shape CMMC Standards

We’ve trained more than 400 assessment professionals and actively participate in shaping how CMMC is implemented across the defense industrial base. When requirements evolve, we’re often among the first to know and the first to update our solutions.

Our team includes more than 20 certified CMMC assessors with both military and DIB experience. That depth of involvement means you’re working with people who understand the standard from the inside out.

Clients Who Pass With Confidence

Our consulting clients achieve strong assessment results because we prepare them using the same methodology we used to pass our own CMMC Level 2 assessment with DIBCAC.

We’re committed to strengthening the Defense Industrial Base one contractor at a time. Every organization we help achieve compliance improves the overall security of defense supply chains.

Our mission is practical. Deliver solutions that meet rigorous federal standards while remaining manageable for small and mid-sized organizations. We succeed when you achieve sustainable compliance that protects both your contracts and our nation’s security.

You should consider Kieri Solutions

“DCS wants to thank the entire Kieri Solutions team, as the gap assessment made a huge difference in preparing for and ultimately obtaining our certification on the first try. Anyone who is sincere about getting their CMMC certification should consider Kieri Solutions.”

Comprehensive, Interconnected System

“Unlike other templates, the KCD isn’t just a collection of documents. It’s a comprehensive, interconnected system that gives you a realistic view of what a compliant organization looks like. It’s the practicality and detail that sets it apart.”

CMMC/NIST 800-171 Documentation and Support

“Excellent CMMC/NIST 800-171 documentation and support. The Kieri Documentation (KCD) fits our needs perfectly. It answers our question of: What does an Auditor want to see? They are very knowledgeable and have been instrumental in getting our understanding of CMMC and Cybersecurity in general up to speed. They go the extra mile with newsletters, webinars, training videos and other resources.”
