CMMC 2.0 — Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification

The DoD's verification regime — defense contracts now hinge on certified, not claimed, security.

Book a demo

CMMC 2.0 is how the US Department of Defense verifies its supply chain actually implements the security it claims. Level 1 self-assesses basic safeguarding; Level 2 — the level most contractors handling CUI need — requires triennial third-party assessment against NIST 800-171.

What assessment-readiness really means

Assessors want implementation, not intentions: a credible System Security Plan, evidence per requirement, and a minimal POA&M (many requirements can't be POA&M'd at all). Scoping — which systems touch CUI — is the highest-leverage decision, because it sets the boundary of everything else.

How Compriska helps

Compriska keeps the SSP live instead of stale, evidences each of the 110 requirements continuously, manages the POA&M with deadlines, and gives leadership the readiness score before the assessor gives it to them.

Frequently asked questions

When is CMMC mandatory?

It's phasing into DoD contracts now — new solicitations increasingly include CMMC requirements, and primes are pushing obligations down to subcontractors ahead of the mandate. Waiting for the final deadline is how contractors lose recompetes.
