Making NIST 800-171 and CMMC compliance simple, affordable, and accessible for organizations of all sizes.
B2CMMC was founded by an Information System Security Officer (ISSO) with experience at multiple federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense. After years of working with various GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) tools—and building applications to address their shortcomings—he decided to create a purpose-built platform for CMMC.
Most compliance platforms are developed by engineers without firsthand experience in compliance work. They often feature elaborate dashboards and extensive functionality that, while visually appealing, add unnecessary complexity. Arcana-GRC takes a different approach: a streamlined tool built on minimalist principles, designed by someone who has done the work.
Compliance with NIST 800-171 and CMMC should not be a barrier to doing business. Too many small and medium-sized organizations face expensive, complicated tools that require lengthy sales cycles, per-user licensing, and cloud infrastructure that triggers additional FedRAMP requirements. Even obtaining pricing information typically requires a sales call, and trial access is often unavailable.
Arcana-GRC was built to change that—an affordable, straightforward compliance tool available immediately, without speaking to a salesperson.
The compliance ecosystem is dominated by enterprise GRC tools priced for large corporations, consultants charging premium rates, and cloud solutions that create additional compliance burdens. Meanwhile, the Defense Industrial Base and other regulated industries include thousands of small businesses that need to achieve compliance but cannot justify enterprise pricing or complex implementations.
We identified an opportunity to serve this underserved market through different architectural choices. By delivering our tool as a virtual appliance that runs entirely on-premises, we avoid the FedRAMP requirements that force cloud providers to charge thousands of dollars. We pass those savings directly to you.
No complex setup, no extensive training required. Download, deploy, and start working through controls with guidance at every step.
Pricing that makes sense for small businesses. Starting at $30/month, we've removed cost as a barrier to compliance.
Buy online instantly without sales calls, demos, or negotiations. Your time is valuable—we respect that.
On-premises deployment means your data stays in your environment. No cloud means no FedRAMP costs passed to you.
We recognize that our pricing—a fraction of competing tools—may raise questions. Quality and cost typically correlate. However, we encourage you to download the demo and evaluate the tool for yourself.
Since Arcana-GRC runs on-premises within your environment, FedRAMP requirements do not apply.
The regulation mandating FedRAMP for external cloud services is DFARS 252.204-7012, which states that contractors using external cloud service providers to store, process, or transmit covered defense information must ensure the provider meets FedRAMP Moderate baseline requirements.
Because Arcana-GRC operates within your controlled environment—ideally within your planned CMMC boundary—this requirement does not apply.
All development is conducted within the United States by U.S. citizens. If you need to discuss sensitive information, please inform us in advance, as some team members may not currently hold DoD security clearances.
