Frequently Asked Questions
CMMC 2.0 is the Department of Defense's revised certification framework that mandates contractors meet defined cybersecurity standards before they are permitted to handle sensitive defense information. Organizations that fail to achieve certification risk losing their ability to compete for federal contracts altogether.
The current framework is organized into three tiers. Level 1 addresses fundamental cyber hygiene practices, Level 2 requires full alignment with NIST SP 800-171, and Level 3 is designed to counter sophisticated threats directed at contractors working on the most sensitive defense programs.
An SPRS score is a numerical indicator the DoD uses to evaluate how well a contractor's cybersecurity posture measures up against established standards. A low or negative score signals unresolved security weaknesses and can prevent an organization from winning or keeping government contracts.
The duration depends on an organization's scale and its existing security infrastructure, but most assessments are finalized within several weeks. The outcome is a clear, prioritized remediation plan that targets the controls with the greatest influence on overall compliance readiness.
