Managed IT & CMMC Services in Blacksburg, VA
Blacksburg punches far above its weight in the defense research economy. Virginia Tech’s national-security research enterprise and the Corporate Research Center have seeded the New River Valley with spin-offs and small R&D firms — companies translating lab work into SBIR awards, prototypes, and production contracts.
CLOUD2E supports those firms remote-first from Northern Virginia as a CMMC Level 2 certified MSP: managed IT, 24/7 security operations, and the compliance groundwork that turns a research shop into a defensible DoD supplier.
// The Blacksburg landscape
Built for how Blacksburg works
The New River Valley’s defense base is young and technical: SBIR and STTR awardees, sensor and autonomy startups, advanced-manufacturing firms, and research teams spinning out of the university. Their trajectory is predictable — a Phase II award lands, the first DFARS clauses arrive, and a company that has been running on university accounts and consumer-grade tools suddenly owes the government NIST SP 800-171. Catching that moment early is the difference between a clean enclave and a painful retrofit.

// CMMC in Blacksburg
CMMC Level 2, from a provider that holds it
For research firms, the critical move is separating company from campus: CUI and controlled technical data belong in the company’s own enclave, cleanly divided from university systems and collaborators. We build that enclave right-sized — tenant, endpoints, identity, logging — remediate to the 110 controls, and document it so a C3PAO assessment, when your contracts require one, is a checkpoint rather than a crisis.

Asked by Blacksburg organizations
We are a six-person SBIR company. Is this overkill?
Not if your Phase II or III work carries DFARS 252.204-7012 — the clause does not scale down for headcount. The good news: a six-person, cloud-first enclave is about the fastest CMMC path there is, and we size the engagement to match.
Some of our work still runs through university systems. Is that a problem?
It is the first thing to untangle. University environments are shared by design, which makes them poor places for your company’s CUI. We stand up a company-owned enclave, define the boundary with the university cleanly, and document which work happens where.
Can you support us from Northern Virginia?
Yes — compliance preparation, monitoring, and helpdesk are remote by nature, and that is how we serve clients nationwide. Onsite days in the New River Valley are scheduled when hardware or assessment work calls for them.
Every Blacksburg compliance client also receives the CLOUD2E CMMC Tracker — our own application for registries, assessments, POA&M, and evidence — at no additional cost.
