CMMC Level 2 • CUI • NIST SP 800-171 aligned • Evidence-first readiness

Level 2 readiness built for assessment reality.

Level 2 is where most teams get stuck: boundary sprawl, weak SSP narratives, inconsistent evidence, and “controls on paper” that do not match how the environment actually runs. We help you build an assessment-ready posture: clear scope, clean documentation, mapped evidence, and a plan you can maintain.

  • Defensible boundary scope (systems, users, locations, data flows)
  • NIST SP 800-171 aligned gap assessment and remediation plan
  • SSP + POA&M support written for review and continuity
  • Evidence library mapping that an assessor can follow

What’s included in Level 2 readiness (from $8,500+)

This engagement is built around one goal: produce a defensible, assessor-readable package. Final scope depends on your boundary size, systems, user count, locations, and current maturity.

Phase 1
Boundary + assessment plan
  • Define the CUI boundary and supporting assets
  • Confirm in-scope users, devices, systems, and locations
  • Build a practical plan for closing the highest-risk gaps first
Phase 2
NIST SP 800-171 aligned gap assessment
  • Requirement-by-requirement review against your environment
  • Clear remediation roadmap and sequencing
  • Identify what is “documentation-only” vs “engineering change”
Phase 3
SSP + POA&M support
  • SSP draft/update with accurate control narratives
  • POA&M (as needed) with owners, milestones, and rationale
  • Policies/procedures alignment where required for consistency
Phase 4
Evidence mapping + library build
  • Evidence map tied to requirements and objectives
  • Library structure and naming standards
  • Collection guidance (what to capture, from where, and why)

Note: If you have multiple boundaries or a high-complexity environment, we will propose a scoped expansion after the initial discovery.

CMMC Registered Practitioner badge
Registered Practitioner (RP) We focus on readiness: scoping, documentation quality, evidence mapping, and assessment preparation. We do not perform official assessments.

Assessment independence

You may need a C3PAO for the official assessment

If your contract requires a formal Level 2 certification assessment, that assessment must be performed by an independent C3PAO. The assessor must remain independent to avoid conflicts of interest.

  • What we do: readiness work — scope, gap assessment, SSP/POA&M support, evidence library, and preparation.
  • What we do not do: act as the official assessor or issue certifications.
  • How we help: we prepare your materials so a C3PAO can review efficiently and consistently.
Practical note: We can help you understand the assessment workflow and organize your package for review, but the C3PAO engagement and assessment decision are separate from readiness support.
