One discipline, kept narrow
We do assessment quality assurance for C3PAOs. Keeping the practice narrow is what allows the review work to stay precise.
About the practice
One discipline. Kept with care.
11th Hour Compliance works with CMMC Third-Party Assessor Organizations (C3PAOs) on assessment Quality Assurance (QA): the review, documentation, and follow-through that sits behind consistent assessment execution.
Quality assurance
is its own discipline.
11th Hour Compliance, LLC specializes in assessment quality assurance for C3PAOs. The work centers on how assessment activity is planned, documented, and corrected when it drifts, and on the review discipline that makes a correction hold.
Our client is the C3PAO, and the work stays inside the C3PAO’s quality process. We do not conduct certification assessments, prepare organizations for assessment, or hold accreditation.

Practitioner-led, review-focused
Dr. Michael
Chambers
The practice is led by Dr. Michael Chambers, whose work has centered on how compliance and assessment processes are documented, evidenced, and defended when they are examined closely.
That orientation shapes how engagements run. Assessment activity is reviewed against the requirement it is measured by. Records are examined for what they actually support, not for what they are intended to convey. Where a matter cannot be resolved inside the agreed scope, it is escalated under your procedures rather than smoothed over.
The work draws on assessment review, quality assurance, records governance, and evidence review. Each is applied inside an agreed scope — not offered as a separate service.
Standards behind the workOur brand philosophy
What the hour
stands for.
Some moments give every detail greater weight. The eleventh hour represents the responsibility to show up, examine the work carefully, and follow through. For 11th Hour Compliance, that means supporting assessment quality through planned review, clear documentation, and attention to unresolved concerns.
01
Time
Planned checkpoints create opportunities to examine the work.
02
Attention
Assessment activities and records receive careful review against applicable criteria.
03
Accountability
Findings, responses, corrections, and unresolved concerns receive documented follow-through.
Three practice commitments
A narrow focus.
A clear responsibility.
Separation is structural
QA only holds value if it is separate from assessment delivery. The separation is written into the engagement terms, not left to good intentions.
Plain answers
If a request falls outside what review work can responsibly cover, we say so before an engagement begins rather than after.
Our service supports the C3PAO’s QA processes. It does not transfer the C3PAO’s assessment or certification responsibilities to 11th Hour.
