CMMC’s documentation and evidence demands go far beyond what most teams experience in ISO, SOC, or traditional quality standards. The level of detail, repeatability, and assessor-verified proof required to pass and to stay ready surprises even mature organizations.
We help you understand what “ready” truly means, build the documentation and evidence needed to support every objective, and guide your team through a process that is far more structured and intensive than anything they have prepared for before.
The official FAR clause lists 15 safeguards, but CMMC documentation often references 17 practices. Here is why:
CMMC inherited the DoD’s earlier mapping from the DFARS 252.204-21 “Basic Safeguarding” table, where two of the FAR requirements were split into multiple CMMC practice IDs during modeling. They are not additional requirements—just a structural carryover from the original DoD-to-NIST mapping exercise.
