CMMC Level 1 & Level 2 Readiness Advisory

What we assess

We identify information flows, in-scope assets, external providers, and the personnel responsible for safeguarding the environment. Readiness is assessed against applicable practices and objectives, with documentation that matches implemented safeguards. Current procurement requirements and official guidance should determine the pathway and timing; do not infer them from an outdated rollout calendar.

Evidence to prepare

• FCI / CUI data flows, asset categorization, system boundaries, and provider responsibilities.
• System security documentation and objective implementation evidence.
• Access, training, configuration, monitoring, and incident records supporting the applicable practices.

Keep design evidence separate from operating evidence. An approved procedure shows how a control is designed; dated records show whether it ran consistently over the review period. Evidence should identify its source, owner, scope, and collection date.

What you receive

• Scope and assessment-readiness findings for the required level.
• Evidence-owner matrix and prioritized remediation actions.
• Preparation support for the applicable self-assessment or authorized independent assessment process.

Common questions

Is a NIST 800-171 checklist enough for CMMC?

A checklist is a starting point. CMMC preparation also needs correct scope, objective evidence, interviews or demonstrations where applicable, and alignment with the required assessment process.

What determines the engagement timeline and cost?

The system boundary, number of entities and locations, existing control maturity, evidence availability, and assessment pathway determine the effort. Share your customer requirements and target milestone so we can define a realistic scope before proposing a schedule.
