Introduction

We spoke with Wilson Bautista Jr., founder of Jün Cyber and longtime NIST 800-171/CMMC practitioner, about how his team guides defense suppliers through CMMC—and why they standardized on Sharetru Federal (FedRAMP Moderate Authorized) for CUI file exchange. With enforcement beginning November 10, 2025 urgency is up: “When a platform reduces friction for security and finance, you actually ship compliance,” Wilson says.

Jün Cyber: Consulting to Full-Service Compliance

Jün Cyber began as a consulting firm focused on NIST SP 800-171 compliance, long before CMMC became the buzzword it is today. Over time, the company evolved into a full-service Managed Service Provider (MSP), offering virtual CISO, incident response, EDR, SIEM, and Secure Access Service Edge solutions. Their clients range from five-person startups to multinational enterprises with over 290,000 employees. Most are in the defense industry, including manufacturers, software developers, and R&D firms—primarily in the U.S., with some headquartered in Europe.

From a Hypothetical to Real Planning

After November 10, the audit threat stops being hypothetical and started driving real behavior. Wilson told us he’s seeing clients compress timelines, unlock budgets, and move from “we should get ready” to “we have to be ready now.” That urgency is showing up in how the industry is buying: some teams choose fixed-scope implementation projects to stand up controls and produce evidence quickly, while others opt for a managed-service model that runs month-to-month operationally but is typically planned on a 36-month horizon for continuity and cost predictability. For discrete compliance tasks, blocks of hours keep execution fast and scoped.

“The engagements that stick aren’t just technical. We ask our prospective clients to bring decision-makers to the table alongside CISOs, compliance officers, and facility security officers from day one,” Wilson added. From his point of view, when budget owners sit next to security and compliance leaders, scope aligns with spend, evidence requirements are clear, and approvals don’t stall at the eleventh hour: “we try to help our clients adjust to treating readiness like a program—pick a track (project or managed), assign an owner, and get finance in the room early so momentum for a non-negotiable doesn’t hit hurdles in procurement.”

Identity First, Evidence Fast: How Jün Cyber Prioritizes CMMC

Wilson’s first principle is scope with rigor. “Draw the smallest truthful circle around your CUI,” he says. “Know exactly which data is in scope, where it lives, who touches it, and which workflows move it.” In his view, most misses start here. “Teams over-scope out of fear and end up ‘CMMC-ing’ their entire estate. That’s how cost and complexity explode without improving your audit posture.”

From that foundation, he advocates bringing in certified help early. “A CCP or CCA turns noise into a defendable plan,” Wilson notes. “You get a documented scope, a gap assessment you can brief to the board, and a prioritized runway with milestones. That’s what auditors—and executives—respect.” He’s blunt about the tradeoffs: “Strategy is choosing what not to do right now. A good assessor gives you the courage to sequence.”

On control domains, Wilson starts where impact meets clarity. “Identity is the new perimeter—start with access control and IAM,” he says. “They’re high-leverage, map cleanly to requirements, and non-technical stakeholders can actually understand the why. If finance gets why least-privilege matters, budget fights disappear in my experience.”

Why Jün Cyber Standardized on Sharetru Federal

Sharetru lines up with how real programs succeed—tight scope, strong identity and access, audit-ready logging, evidence on demand,” Wilson says. “Being FedRAMP Moderate Authorized is the difference between ‘almost ready’ and audit-ready. We inherit controls and shrink scope—often to one dedicated laptop plus Sharetru—with guardrails like IP allowlists for connections at the user level.”

What that means in practice:

• Scope reduction by design. Fence CUI into a dedicated Sharetru Federal enclave—right-size the boundary instead of “securing the universe.”
• Identity-first controls. MFA, SSO, guest registration, and link-based sharing within the FedRAMP-authorized environment → clear attribution and least privilege.
• Built-in visibility. 12-month logs + straightforward SIEM integration answer “who/what/when/how” in minutes.
• Predictable economics. Unlimited users with storage-based pricing ends seat rationing and makes costs forecastable.
• Fast rollout, low lift. Simple to deploy and train → rapid adoption without a support burden.

When you combine the above factors, the full picture is Sharetru scaling with the customer. “From a 10-person shop to a Fortune-scale prime, the same enclave model works for internal and external CUI file sharing,” Wilson says. “That consistency is why we run our own program on Sharetru—and why we recommend it when audit readiness has to be real."

Sharetru’s Real-World Impact: A Manufacturing Client’s Journey

One of Jün Cyber’s clients is a defense manufacturer who was facing ballooning costs and CUI confusion. Only two staff handled CUI in the larger organization, yet 15 systems were in play. Jün Cyber right-sized the scope to two workstations and one server, implemented Sharetru for CUI file exchange, and closed critical gaps with audit-ready evidence in 30 days, avoiding 12–18 months of churn and headcount growth. “The best outcome was peace of mind,” Wilson says. “They had a vetted tool in Sharetru and a team that understood the technical and procedural sides of CMMC.”

“The best outcome was peace of mind,” Wilson said. “They knew they had a vetted tool in Sharetru and a team in Jün Cyber that understood both the technical and non-technical compliance requirements.”

Final Thoughts

As the CMMC landscape matures, organizations need trusted partners and proven platforms to meet compliance requirements without breaking the bank. Jün Cyber’s approach—combining deep expertise with smart technology choices like Sharetru—is helping clients accelerate readiness, reduce costs, and gain peace of mind.
