• CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is the Department of Defense’s standardized approach to ensuring all contractors and subcontractors safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

    At Level 2, most contractors handling CUI must meet the 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls and undergo third-party assessment. This is not optional—it’s the key to maintaining and winning DoD contracts.

  • Are you trying to achieve CMMC compliance alone? Here’s what most businesses quickly realize:

    • The Framework is Complex
      With multiple domains, capabilities, and practices, interpreting what each control means for your environment can be overwhelming.

    • Documentation is a Beast
      POA&Ms, SSPs, risk assessments, and policies—must be detailed and audit-ready.

    • You Need the Right Tools
      Without proper logging, endpoint protection, and vulnerability management in place, gaps form fast.

    • It’s a Time Sink
      CMMC prep can take 6–12 months and cost $50,000–$120,000+ depending on your environment—especially if you hit roadblocks doing it solo.ext goes here

CMMC Compliance Made Simple with Solomon IT

What is CMMC?

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) framework designed to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). If your business works with the DoD or the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE)—or plans to—you must meet CMMC Level 2 requirements to continue winning contracts.

CMMC ensures that contractors implement and maintain strong cybersecurity practices based on NIST 800-171 standards. It’s not just a checklist—it's a commitment to ongoing security maturity.

How Long Does CMMC Compliance Take?

The journey to compliance depends on your current cybersecurity posture. On average:

  • Initial Gap Assessment: 2–4 weeks

  • Remediation Phase: 3–6 months

  • Readiness Review and C3PAO Assessment: 2–3 months

Total Time to Compliance: ~6 to 92 months

What Does CMMC Compliance Cost?

While costs vary based on your size, risk level, and existing systems, most small to mid-sized contractors can expect:

  • Gap Assessment & Plan of Action: $5,000 – $15,000

  • Remediation Tools & Services: $15,000 – $75,000+

  • Certification Assessment (C3PAO): $10,000 – $30,000
