Managed IT & CMMC Services in Dayton, OH
Dayton’s defense economy orbits Wright-Patterson Air Force Base — headquarters of Air Force Materiel Command, home of the Air Force Research Laboratory and the Life Cycle Management Center, and the buying center for a huge share of the Air Force’s technology. Around it, from Beavercreek to Kettering, sits one of the Midwest’s densest rings of engineering and R&D contractors.
CLOUD2E supports the Wright-Patt corridor remote-first — 24/7 operations and CMMC delivery from Northern Virginia, onsite days scheduled when needed — as an MSP that holds CMMC Level 2 itself.
// The Dayton landscape
Built for how Dayton works
The Dayton ring is research-heavy: AFRL-facing science and engineering firms, sensors and human-performance specialists, sustainment engineers supporting program offices, and SBIR awardees commercializing lab work. Most are small, technical, and CUI-rich — export-controlled research data, technical orders, program artifacts — with IT that grew out of a university lab culture rather than a security program. AFLCMC’s contracting tempo keeps DFARS clauses flowing into even the smallest awards.

// CMMC in Dayton
CMMC Level 2, from a provider that holds it
AFRL and AFLCMC work means controlled technical information and, often, fundamental-research boundary questions — what is CUI, what is export-controlled, what is publishable. We help Dayton firms draw those lines, concentrate the controlled data into a scoped enclave, remediate to NIST SP 800-171, and walk into the C3PAO assessment with the SSP and evidence already organized.

// Dayton FAQ
Asked by Dayton organizations
We do both fundamental research and CUI work. How does that scope?
Carefully — fundamental research stays out of the boundary only when it is genuinely uncontrolled, and mislabeling it is a finding waiting to happen. We map the data flows, segregate the controlled work into the enclave, and document the rationale an assessor will test.
We are a 10-person AFRL SBIR shop. What does an engagement look like?
A scoped gap assessment first, then a right-sized enclave — typically a hardened cloud tenant and managed endpoints — with remediation and documentation sequenced over a few months. Small and cloud-first is the fastest kind of Level 2 there is.
Every Dayton compliance client also receives the CLOUD2E CMMC Tracker — our own application for registries, assessments, POA&M, and evidence — at no additional cost.
