The rules for using the Peak Global sites and requesting a call, a speaking engagement or our services.
What we publish about CMMC, NIST 800-171 and the False Claims Act is general information. Your contracts and your attorney decide what applies to you.
Peak prepares you for an assessment. CMMC certification comes from an authorized C3PAO or the Department of Defense, and no one can promise the result.
Our frameworks, writing and this site belong to Peak. Your company, your data and your documents stay yours.
By using this site or sending us a request, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the site.
These terms are between you and the Peak company whose site you are using: Peak Global, Peak Complyance, PEAK IT Security & Solutions (Peak ITSS) and Peak Gov, at 950 SE Oak Avenue, Roseburg, OR 97470. Our founder is Nancy Laney, Founder & CEO.
The articles, talks, checklists and other material on this site explain how compliance and cybersecurity programs work. They're general information. They aren't legal advice, and reading them doesn't create an attorney relationship or a consulting relationship with us.
Rules such as CMMC, DFARS, NIST 800-171 and the False Claims Act change, and how they apply depends on your contracts. Check with your contracting officer, your prime and your attorney before you act on anything you read here.
Peak Complyance helps defense contractors prepare for CMMC assessments. Peak isn't a Certified Third Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO), and we don't issue certifications.
Members of our team hold CMMC assessor certifications. Under the CMMC program rules, an assessor can't assess a company they helped prepare, so the assessors on our team never assess Peak clients.
Your assessment result is decided by an authorized assessor or the Department of Defense. Your SPRS score and any affirmation you submit are your company's statements, signed by your company's officials. We help you gather and document the evidence behind them, and the decision to sign stays with you.
We make no promise about an assessment result, a contract award, a grant, or any other outcome. Results we describe on this site come from specific clients doing specific work, and they don't predict what happens for you.
Sending a contact form or a speaking request doesn't create a contract. A speaking engagement is confirmed only when both sides sign a speaking agreement that sets the date, the fee, travel and recording rights.
Paid work runs under a separate signed agreement that sets the scope, the fees and the term. Where that agreement and these terms disagree, the signed agreement wins.
When you contact us or send a request, you confirm that:
The 24 Waypoints Compliance Framework, the 6 Step Compliance Acceleration Model, the 12 step implementation method, the 1 Day Away newsletter, and the writing, design and code on this site belong to Peak. Using the site doesn't transfer any of it to you.
You can share our public articles with a link back to the original. You can't republish them, resell them, or teach our methods as your own.
