About Neal Fennimore

I'm Neal Fennimore, founder of GetCMMC and a Mid-Atlantic–based Lead Certified CMMC Assessor with over 15 years securing enterprise and government environments for clients across the Mid-Atlantic and nationwide.

Most recently, I served as a Digital Service Expert at the Defense Digital Service, where I was the technical lead for the Pentagon's bug bounty program, helped audit ATO processes across multiple platforms, and integrated security solutions into cloud infrastructure.

As IT Security Director at a DoD contractor, I led CMMC compliance efforts firsthand — hardening on-prem and Azure infrastructure, deploying security systems, and building business continuity programs that meet federal requirements.

I hold an MS in Cybersecurity from NYU (CyberFellow program) and carry the full CompTIA security stack alongside ISACA's LCCA, CCA, and CCP designations.
