Plain-English description

What this provider does

Totem Technologies describes itself as a small-business DoD contractor that builds tools for other small DoD contractors. Their homepage lists three offerings: the Totem cybersecurity compliance software for CMMC and NIST 800-171 documentation, HRDN-IT, a single-PC on-premises CUI enclave aimed at micro-businesses that handle minimal CUI, and CMMC Level 1 / Level 2 training. They also offer security controls assessments. They are not a C3PAO.

What we don't know

Gaps in this record

Facts that could not be confirmed against a public source on the retrieval date. If you can point to an authoritative source for any of these, we'll update the record.

·Totem is not a C3PAO; their security controls assessment is a self-evaluation, not a formal CMMC certification.
·Pricing for the software, training, and HRDN-IT enclave is not stated on the page we sourced.
·The 'single PC' design of HRDN-IT means buyers should think carefully about whether their actual CUI handling footprint fits a single-host enclave.
