The Founding 50 puts David Fuentes, a credentialed compliance professional, personally on your account while you secure your business and earn the credential. Most owners finish in about two weeks. You get him for 30 days anyway.
Not even sure CMMC Level 1 applies to your business? The 60 second check tells you.

One credential stands between your business and real federal money.
Last fiscal year more than $350 billion in federal work flowed to small-business industries across 856,000+ contract actions, per USAspending.gov, the government’s own record. Nearly all of it now sits behind the same gate: CMMC Level 1. The work does not require you to be big. It requires you to be secured and attested.

No card to start. $249 a month after the free week, or $2,496 a year with two months free. Cancel anytime during the trial. Comparable values reflect the Officer plan price and third-party services that deliver a similar function. Not a discount claim.
Two weeks of work. Thirty days of assurance.
You start the 7-day free trial, no card. Charlie scopes your federal contract information boundary and you knock out the first safeguards. David reviews your setup personally and emails you within one business day of your seat claim.
The remaining safeguards, your System Security Plan, and your evidence, walked one at a time in plain English. This is where most owners finish. Two weeks, not two quarters.
David checks your complete package the way an assessor would. You sign the affirmation, post your status with the government, and your business is eligible for federal work. David stays on your account through day 30.
Attested in 30 days, or David keeps working with you free until you are.
Do the work inside the platform and that is the deal, plainly. Most owners finish in about two weeks. The 30 days exist so you never feel rushed, and the guarantee exists so the risk sits with us, not with you.
CMMC did not appear from nowhere. The maturity model behind it was built at Carnegie Mellon’s Software Engineering Institute, and that same program trains the security professionals who now carry it into the field. David Fuentes III is one of them: Carnegie Mellon trained, a decade in enterprise governance, risk, and compliance, and a U.S. Army veteran. He wrote the field guide on CMMC Level 1 and built Custodia so small businesses could do this right, with the best on their side, instead of guessing alone.
Custodia is a cybersecurity firm. CMMC Level 1 is all we do.
The honest answers.
If your company touches federal contract information, a shipping address on a government order, a contract number, a spec on a part, it applies. Not sure? The 60 second check below tells you before you commit to anything.
The platform is $249 a month, or $2,496 a year with two months free. The Founding 50 extras, David personally for 30 days and the professional check, are included at no extra charge. No card to start, cancel anytime during the trial.
Yes. The platform was built for owners, not security people. Every safeguard is in plain English, Charlie answers questions 24/7, and David personally checks your work so nothing rides on you guessing right.
Your compliance does not expire, but it does have to stay true. The platform watches your evidence year round, flags anything going stale, and handles the annual re-affirmation. You stay secured and bid eligible without thinking about it.
Because a real person is checking every account. That is a hard cap on quality, not a marketing trick. Founding members get the personal version of the service in exchange for honest feedback, and when the 50 seats are filled, this page comes down.
No. CMMC Level 1 is all we do, and that focus is the point. It is the single credential that opens federal contracting for a small business. If your work needs more than Level 1, we tell you honestly and point you to the right kind of firm.
50 seats. A professional on your account. A locked door, opened.
