What Is CMMC Compliance Readiness
Professional Readiness, Evidence Management, and Ongoing Compliance Support
CMMC is moving from guidance to enforcement. The Department of Defense begins a phased rollout on November 10, 2025. Readiness means you can prove the correct level, stage evidence in a way assessors accept, publish or prepare your SPRS score, and maintain a posture that survives option-year checks through 2028.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does CMMC start to affect awards
Phase 1 begins November 10, 2025. New solicitations can require Level 1 or Level 2 at award, with self assessment or third party certification depending on contract sensitivity.
Will we really lose work if we do nothing
Yes. Contracting officers review your status and score in SPRS. If you cannot prove the required level, they can mark you not eligible for award or extension.
Do subcontractors have to comply or only primes
Subcontractors are in scope. Primes are expected to verify that subs meet required levels and flow down terms accordingly.
Do we get time to fix gaps
You may get a short remediation window if you have a credible POA&M and can show active progress. There is no open ended grace period.
What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2
Level 1 covers FCI with 15 basic practices and an annual self assessment with results posted to SPRS. Level 2 covers CUI aligned to 110 requirements and moves to certified third party assessments for applicable contracts as the rollout progresses.
Can you prepare us for a third party Level 2 assessment
Yes. Our Level 2 Readiness and Continuous Compliance services are designed to stage evidence, finalize SSP and POA&M, and rehearse the assessment so you are ready for C3PAO.
