How It Works

CMMC Levels in Plain English

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework organizes 110 security controls from NIST SP 800-171 across 14 domains. It defines three certification levels—each building on the last. Most DoD contractors will need Level 1 or Level 2.

CMMC Level 1 – Basic Cyber Hygiene

Level 1 covers 17 foundational practices derived from FAR 52.204-21. It applies to organizations handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) and requires annual self-assessment.

17 practices based on FAR 52.204-21.
Annual self-assessment; no third-party audit.

CMMC Level 2 – Protecting CUI

Level 2 maps to all 110 controls of NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2. Required for organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), it involves a third-party assessment by a C3PAO every three years.

All 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls.
Third-party (C3PAO) assessment every 3 years.

Why This Matters Now

CMMC requirements are already appearing in DoD solicitations and contracts. The Department of Defense has begun phased rollout, and compliance is no longer a “someday” issue—it’s a now issue.

Most organizations need 6 to 18 months to move from initial assessment to certification readiness, depending on their current posture. Waiting until a contract requires it means risking delayed or lost awards.

Starting now gives you the runway to close gaps methodically—without scrambling—and positions you ahead of competitors who haven’t begun.
