Oakward Consulting helps government agencies, federal contractors, and private clients run compliant systems and clean books, through IT consulting, accounting services, and the ComplianceOS platform for NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC self-assessment.
The Oakward family includes two operating firms. Each one contracts, performs, and is accountable for its own work, so agencies and prime contractors always know which firm they're dealing with.

Teaming inquiriesNIST SP 800-171 and CMMC self-assessment for defense contractors, now in pilot
Every defense contractor that handles Controlled Unclassified Information must implement the 110 security requirements of NIST SP 800-171, post a self-assessment score in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS), and affirm compliance to stay eligible for award. Most small and mid-size contractors still manage that in spreadsheets that can't show what was true, and when.
ComplianceOS turns that spreadsheet into a living, evidenced record of your 800-171 posture, so the score you report and the affirmation you sign can be backed up.
Work through all 320 assessment objectives in NIST SP 800-171A, with status, notes, and an evidence reference for each.
See a live SPRS score under the DoD Assessment Methodology, recalculated on every change.
Tie a POA&M to every open requirement, with owners, milestones, and cost.
Export the evidence package behind your signature.
Built on the 320 assessment objectives of NIST SP 800-171A, not just the 110 headline requirements. A requirement is Met only when every applicable objective is Met.
Calculated under the DoD Assessment Methodology and updated with every change, so you can show what your score was on any given date.
Remediation plans, owners, milestones, and cost tied to each open requirement.
Shows who changed what, and when each control became implemented.
The Shared Data Layer links remediation work and IT spend to the controls they satisfy.
The control catalog is data, so a move to NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 3 is an import, not a rebuild.
One export with your assessment scope and date, current SPRS score and score history, the status of all 110 requirements and their objectives, open POA&Ms with owners and target dates, and the preparer and supporting activity log.
Small and mid-size companies in the defense industrial base handling FCI or CUI.
Primes monitoring the NIST SP 800-171 posture of their suppliers.
Firms serving defense clients who need one consistent record across engagements.
Assessment objectives are treated the way an auditor treats assertions: each one tested, evidenced, and dated.
If third-party assessment returns in a reformed program, the same evidence record carries forward.
Not an enterprise GRC suite retrofitted downward.
ComplianceOS is architected for FIPS 140-3 validated encryption, multi-factor authentication, role-based access, tenant isolation, and immutable audit logging.
Pilot environments do not accept Controlled Unclassified Information. The pilot stores requirement status and a reference to where your evidence is kept, so sensitive evidence stays in your own systems.
Most contractors don't need another tool. They need to know their real score, what it will cost to close the gaps, and what to fix first. Oakward Consulting does that work with you inside ComplianceOS, and the platform comes included.
