FAQ

Common questions about CMMC pricing

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Traditional CMMC Level 2 compliance costs $200K–$500K when using legacy GRC platforms plus consultants. That includes gap assessments ($30K–$60K), remediation ($80K–$200K), and C3PAO audits ($50K–$150K). DefenseBizStack starts at $99/mo — giving you self-assessment tooling, gap analysis, and remediation guidance at a fraction of the cost.
Foundation ($99/mo) covers CMMC Level 1 self-assessment, basic RFP discovery, and 5 supplier profiles. It’s ideal for small contractors starting their compliance journey.

Growth ($199/mo) adds CMMC Level 2 readiness with continuous monitoring, capture automation, 50 supplier profiles, and the intelligence dashboard. Best for companies actively pursuing contracts.

Scale ($399/mo) unlocks the full capture-to-contract workflow, C3PAO audit coordination, unlimited marketplace access, and API integrations. Built for established defense contractors with an active pipeline.
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time. When you upgrade, you get immediate access to the higher tier’s features. Billing adjusts on your next cycle. No lock-in, no cancellation fees.
We offer free tools including the CMMC Readiness Assessment and Supplier Pulse Report — no credit card required. These give you a meaningful compliance baseline before committing to a paid plan.
Vanta and Drata charge $15,000–$50,000/year and focus on SOC 2/ISO 27001 — not CMMC or DFARS. DefenseBizStack is purpose-built for defense contractors at $99–$399/mo, covering CMMC 2.0, NIST 800-171, ITAR/EAR, and SAM.gov capture intelligence that generic GRC platforms don’t touch. That’s 12–15× cheaper with defense-specific coverage they can’t match.
Level 1 is for contractors handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) only — 17 practices, self-assessment. Level 2 is required if you handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) — 110 practices from NIST 800-171, requires third-party assessment. Most contractors pursuing DoD primes need Level 2. Use our free CMMC Assessment to find out which level applies to you.
CMMC Phase 2 becomes mandatory in November 2026. If your contract requires certification before you’re ready, you risk losing the contract — or being removed from the bidders list. Our Growth and Scale plans include continuous monitoring and C3PAO coordination to help you get audit-ready on a timeline that protects your pipeline.
