About Nick Sally
Nick Sally is Owner, phractional CTO at phraCTO. Location: Atlanta Metropolitan Area, United States.
I help small defense contractors get CMMC compliant without overspending, over-hiring, or losing their minds. 30 years in IT. Built infrastructure for federal agencies, defense primes, and commercial businesses. Ran IT for InfoReliance from 35 employees through 450 and an acquisition. Now I run phraCTO. What we do: CMMC compliance consulting. We take small defense contractors from "where do I start" to assessment-ready on Microsoft 365 GCC High. Gap assessments, remediation, documentation, evidence prep, and ongoing compliance management. We also serve as fractional CMMC compliance officers for contractors who need the expertise without the full-time headcount. Fractional CTO. For mid-market and growing companies that need senior IT leadership without the C-suite salary. Strategy, vendor management, team building, architecture decisions. I've done this for 6 years across commercial and federal clients. Managed IT (Atlanta). Small business IT support, cybersecurity, and infrastructure management for companies in the Atlanta metro area. BNI Buckhead, ProVisors, local roots, hands-on service. We also build tools for the GovCon community: - CMMC Tool for M365 (cmmcm365.us): all 110 controls mapped to GCC High with SSP language, policies, procedures, and step-by-step configuration instructions. $997, one-time. - GovConvert (govconvert.us): a GovCon-first CRM with capture management, AI document generation, and CMMC compliance baked into the infrastructure. I post here about CMMC compliance, GCC High, and the real conversations happening between primes and small subs. If you're a defense contractor trying to figure this out, stick around.
