CMMC Certification Support
CMMCMARK prepares defense contractors for CMMC. We confirm the level you need, define your scope, find and help close your gaps, review your documentation and run a mock assessment, so your self-assessment or C3PAO assessment holds no surprises. Certification itself is performed by authorized assessors.
What does certification support include?
- Readiness assessment
- A review of your current controls against every requirement of your level, with a prioritized gap list.
- Scoping
- We identify where FCI and CUI live and help you draw the smallest defensible assessment boundary, including a separate enclave where it makes sense.
- Documentation guidance
- Practical help with your system security plan, policies and procedures, and the evidence assessors ask for.
- Remediation planning
- A realistic plan for closing gaps, including what may be placed on a plan of action (POA&M) and what may not.
- Mock assessment
- A rehearsal using the same objectives an assessor will use, so you know where you stand before the real one.
- SPRS and affirmation support
- Help entering your self-assessment result and preparing your Affirming Official for the yearly affirmation.

Support for every CMMC level
| If you need | We focus on |
|---|---|
| Level 1 (Self) | The 15 basic requirements, evidence and your yearly SPRS entry and affirmation |
| Level 2 (Self) | All 110 requirements, your SSP and an accurate score you can stand behind |
| Level 2 (C3PAO) | Everything above, plus a mock assessment and preparation for working with your C3PAO |
| Level 3 (DIBCAC) | A strong Level 2 foundation and a gap review against the 24 enhanced requirements |
We prepare; authorized assessors certify. Level 2 certification assessments are performed by C3PAOs authorized by The Cyber AB, and Level 3 by DCMA DIBCAC. CMMC rules also bar consultants from assessing companies they prepared, which keeps our advice independent.
Questions about certification support
What do we receive after the readiness assessment?
A requirement-by-requirement view of where you stand, a prioritized list of gaps, and a practical plan for closing them before your assessment or contract deadline.
Can you work with our IT provider or MSP?
Yes. Many contractors rely on an external IT or managed service provider. We work with them so responsibilities for each requirement are clear and documented.
How long does it take to get ready?
It depends on your level, your scope and how many gaps you have. The readiness assessment gives you a realistic timeline, which is why it is the first step.
