Assess Your CMMC 2.0
Level 2 Readiness
How to assess your CMMC 2.0 Level 2 readiness: Evaluate your organization against all 110 NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 requirements across 14 control families. For each requirement, determine if it is fully Met, Partially Met, or Not Met. This tool walks you through all 14 domains — Access Control, Awareness & Training, Audit & Accountability, Configuration Management, Identification & Authentication, Incident Response, Maintenance, Media Protection, Personnel Security, Physical Protection, Risk Assessment, Security Assessment, System & Communications Protection, and System & Information Integrity — and generates a scored gap report with a prioritized remediation roadmap. Takes 15–25 minutes. No login required for the free tier.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is CMMC 2.0 Level 2? ▼
CMMC 2.0 Level 2 is the cybersecurity standard required for defense contractors that handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). It maps directly to all 110 requirements in NIST Special Publication 800-171 Rev 2. As of December 2024, CMMC requirements are codified in 32 CFR Part 170. Organizations pursuing DoD contracts above the simplified acquisition threshold that involve CUI must achieve Level 2 compliance.
Who needs CMMC 2.0 certification? ▼
Any contractor or subcontractor in the defense industrial base (DIB) that processes, stores, or transmits CUI will need CMMC Level 2 certification. This applies to approximately 220,000 organizations in the defense supply chain. Prime contractors must also ensure subcontractors flow CMMC requirements down through the supply chain.
How much does CMMC Level 2 certification cost? ▼
[ESTIMATE — ranges based on industry reports; actual costs vary significantly]
Based on DoD's own regulatory impact analysis and industry surveys, CMMC Level 2 costs are estimated at:
Costs depend heavily on current maturity, organization size, and existing IT infrastructure. Methodology: DoD 32 CFR Part 170 regulatory impact analysis, CMMC-AB industry surveys.
Based on DoD's own regulatory impact analysis and industry surveys, CMMC Level 2 costs are estimated at:
- C3PAO assessment fee: $30,000 – $250,000+ depending on size
- Gap remediation (if you have significant gaps): $50,000 – $500,000+ [ESTIMATE]
- Annual maintenance: $10,000 – $100,000+ [ESTIMATE]
Costs depend heavily on current maturity, organization size, and existing IT infrastructure. Methodology: DoD 32 CFR Part 170 regulatory impact analysis, CMMC-AB industry surveys.
What is a System Security Plan (SSP)? ▼
A System Security Plan (SSP) is a formal document required by DFARS clause 252.204-7012 that describes how your organization implements each of the 110 NIST SP 800-171 requirements. It defines your system boundary, operating environment, control implementation descriptions, and any Plans of Action & Milestones (POA&Ms) for gaps not yet remediated. An SSP is a prerequisite for any CMMC Level 2 assessment.
Is DefenseBizStack a C3PAO or compliance auditor? ▼
No. DefenseBizStack is not a Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO), DCAA auditor, or compliance assessor. We surface CMMC requirements, map your responses to NIST controls, and accelerate your preparation. We route readiness work, not certifications. All official CMMC certifications must be conducted by a CMMC-AB accredited C3PAO.

Remediation Effort Estimates [ESTIMATE]
Important note on these estimates
[ESTIMATE] All costs and timelines are approximate ranges based on industry benchmarks from CMMC-AB reports, DoD regulatory impact analyses, and practitioner surveys. Actual costs depend heavily on your current infrastructure, organization size, IT team capacity, and any existing investments. These are rough planning figures only — obtain formal quotes from qualified vendors.
Methodology: DoD 32 CFR Part 170 CMMC Program regulatory impact analysis (2024); CMMC-AB industry cost surveys; Redspin, Coalfire, and Optiv published CMMC cost benchmarks.
Data window: 2023–2025 industry reports. Ranges preferred over point estimates to reflect significant variance.
