CMMC Level 2 Assessment Services
01
CMMC Level 2 Certification Assessments
Our certified C3PAO team conducts thorough and efficient CMMC Level 2 assessments to ensure your organization's compliance with NIST 800-171 requirements. We provide a comprehensive evaluation of your security practices, identify gaps, and verify adherence to federal cybersecurity standards. With our expertise, you can confidently achieve certification and demonstrate your commitment to protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
02
CMMC Level 2 Mock Assessments
Our certified C3PAO team conducts comprehensive CMMC Level 2 mock assessments to help your organization evaluate readiness against NIST SP 800-171 requirements prior to a formal certification. We simulate the assessment process, review your security practices, identify gaps, and highlight areas requiring attention. This engagement is strictly evaluative in nature—no remediation advice or recommendations are provided—allowing your organization to independently address findings and better prepare for the official assessment while demonstrating readiness to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
How it works
What your assessment includes

Achieve CMMC Level 2 Certification with an Authorized C3PAO
- Independent Third-Party Assessment: Our certified C3PAO team conducts official CMMC Level 2 assessments fully compliant with Cyber AB assessment guide requirements
- All 110 NIST SP 800-171 Controls Evaluated: Every practice across all 14 domains is examined, tested, and documented against the assessment objectives
- Certified CMMC Assessors (CCAs) Only: Your assessment is conducted exclusively by registered CCAs — not consultants, not generalists
Official CMMC Assessment Artifacts and Reporting
- Complete Assessment Findings Report: Receive a formal findings report documenting MET, NOT MET, and NOT APPLICABLE practices across your entire CUI environment
- CMMC-AB Compliant Documentation: All assessment artifacts are prepared in accordance with Cyber AB and DoD requirements for formal Level 2 certification submission
- Final Certification Recommendation: Upon successful assessment, we submit your results through eMASS for final or conditional certification
CMMC Level 2 Assessment Scope and Process
- CUI Boundary Scoping: We formally validate the assessment boundary — systems, people, and assets that store, process, or transmit CUI — before any assessment activity begins
- Evidence Collection and Examination: Controls are verified through examination of documentation, interviews with responsible personnel, and testing of implemented practices in real-time
- Objective, Assessor-Independent Evaluation: As a C3PAO, we maintain strict independence — no consulting, no remediation guidance, no conflict of interest

Mock Assessments and Certification Readiness Evaluation
- Simulate the Real Assessment: Our mock assessment follows the same methodology as a formal CMMC Level 2 certification assessment so you know exactly what to expect
- Identify Gaps Before Your Official Assessment: Receive a clear picture of which practices are MET and which require attention prior to submitting for certification
- Strictly Evaluative — No Remediation Advice: Consistent with assessor independence requirements, mock assessments identify findings only — remediation is handled separately by your team or a consultant of your choice
