Background

About Barry Mouton

I help small to midsize organizations — especially defense suppliers and SLED — get and stay audit-ready. I translate CMMC / NIST into plain English, scope fast readiness engagements, and keep projects moving with clear next steps and executive updates. I bring a 16-year Army background leading high-volume customer acquisition, training, and ops. In civilian terms: I build pipeline methodically, run crisp discovery, and turn it into simple business cases that executives approve. Comfortable with DoD/SLED, Secret clearance, and cross-functional teams.
