What it does

Prepare a defense-contractor environment for CMMC Level 2 certification: scope CUI and FCI, implement the 110 NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 security requirements across 14 families, compute the SPRS score with the DoD Assessment Methodology, manage a compliant POA&M, and ready the organization for a C3PAO assessment. Use when an organization handles Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) under a DoD contract, when a contract carries DFARS clause 252.204-7012/7019/7020/7021, when preparing for or responding to a CMMC assessment, when computing or improving an SPRS score, when building a System Security Plan or POA&M for 800-171, or when scoping which systems are in the CUI boundary.

Achieving CMMC Level 2 Compliance

When to Use

  • When an organization in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) stores, processes, or transmits Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) under a DoD contract.
  • When a contract includes DFARS 252.204-7012 (safeguarding/incident reporting), -7019/-7020 (NIST 800-171 self-assessment + SPRS), or the new -7021 (CMMC requirement).
  • When preparing for a C3PAO third-party assessment or a DoD-led assessment.
  • When you must compute, post, or improve an SPRS score based on the NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment Methodology.
  • When authoring or remediating a System Security Plan (SSP) and POA&M for the 110 requirements.
  • When scoping which assets fall inside the CUI/FCI boundary (CUI assets, security-protection assets, contractor risk-managed assets, out-of-scope).

Prerequisites

  • Knowledge of which contracts carry CUI and the CUI categories involved (check the contract and the DoD CUI Registry).
  • An asset inventory and network diagram so you can define the CMMC assessment scope before assessing controls.
  • The NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 requirements and the DoD Assessment Methodology scoring weights.
  • A documented SSP (its absence is itself a failed requirement, 3.12.4).
  • Identification of any External Service Providers (ESPs) / cloud services touching CUI, and whether they meet FedRAMP Moderate (or equivalency).

Workflow

1. Determine applicability and CUI categories

Confirm the contract requires CMMC Level 2 (CUI present, not just FCI). FCI-only contracts are Level 1 (the 15 FAR 52.204-21 requirements). Identify CUI categories from the contract and the DoD CUI Registry.
