Who is this for?
All contractors or subcontractors that process, stores, or transmits Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) on their unclassified information systems.
If you:
- Are pursuing new DoD/DoW work that will be awarded after 10 Nov 2025
Receive new contract instruments such as:
- Task orders
- Delivery orders
- Option periods
- Purchase orders
- Have an existing contract where an option period is coming up for exercise
- Support a prime contractor and receive security requirements through flow-downs
Oversee teams that handle contract data on everyday business systems:
- Pricing
- Schedules
- Deliverables
- Performance reporting
What to expect?
Our process for a CMMC Readiness Assessment.
1
Discovery Call
A free consultation to understand your contracts, determine your target CMMC level (1, 2, or 3), and assess your current security posture.
2
Scope & Estimate
We define what systems are in scope, outline the engagement timeline, and provide a cost estimate. No surprises.
3
Contracts & Kickoff
Sign the required agreements (NDA, SLA, rules of engagement), establish secure communication, and meet your team.
4
Environment Mapping
We collect your documentation (SSP, POA&M, network diagrams), inventory in-scope assets, and map your CUI data flow and system boundaries.
5
Gap Assessment
Every applicable NIST SP 800-171 (or 800-172) control is evaluated and scored. You receive a readiness score against the 80% passing threshold and a clear picture of what is missing.
6
Remediation Roadmap
A prioritized action plan to close your gaps, including policy templates, technical recommendations, and guidance on building or updating your SSP and POA&M.
7
Readiness Validation
We re-verify remediated controls, confirm your SPRS score is current, and make sure your evidence package is complete before the formal assessment.
8
Documentation Handoff
All documentation is delivered and packaged. We brief your team on what to expect from the C3PAO or DIBCAC assessment and the annual affirmation requirement.
Frequently asked questions
Here are some common questions about our CMMC Readiness Assessment.
An internal, pre-certification review of your policies, procedures, and technical controls to determine how close you are to meeting CMMC requirements at your target level. It produces a clear gap list, a remediation plan, and the evidence you will need for a formal assessment.
It is not a formal certification or a substitute for a C3PAO or DIBCAC assessment. It does not grant a CMMC certificate or guarantee a pass; it prepares you to pass.
No. Only an authorized C3PAO can issue official Level 2 (C3PAO) results, and DIBCAC issues Level 3 results. We prepare you for that process. Our readiness results can be used to complete your Level 1 self-assessment, and Level 2 self-assessment only when your contract requires Level 2 (Self); otherwise a C3PAO assessment is required.
Not with the standalone assessment service. We provide the remediation roadmap, templates, and guidance. Implementation can be handled by your internal team, your existing IT providers, or us through a separate remediation engagement based on the gaps we identify.
Timing depends on scope, systems, and availability of documentation and staff. We confirm timeline during scoping after the discovery call.
Your target CMMC level, scope boundaries, key contacts, existing documentation (SSP/POA&M if available), and access to in-scope systems for validation.
