CMMC Level 2 readiness, done right - for a flat $2,500.

A purpose-built foot-in-the-door engagement for defense contractors racing to hit CMMC Level 2. Walk into your C3PAO conversation with an SSP, SAR, POA&M, and a structured evidence package - not a pile of spreadsheets.

What's included

Everything a C3PAO expects to see - organized before they ask.

110-control catalog

All CMMC Level 2 controls pre-loaded with status, owner, notes, and evidence fields.

POA&M template

Plan of Action & Milestones with target dates, resources, and closure evidence.

Gap report PDF

Executive-ready report showing in-place, in-progress, and gap controls with remediation priorities.

C3PAO-ready evidence export

Structured ZIP with SSP, SAR, POA&M, evidence index, and every artifact organized per control.

NIST 800-53 crosswalk

Evidence attached once flows to the 997 matching NIST 800-53 Rev 5 controls automatically.

30 days of advisory

Async access to a Symbiosis advisor for scoping questions, POA&M review, and evidence guidance.

How it works

Three phases from kickoff to C3PAO-ready.

01

Kick off

You receive a workspace with 110 CMMC L2 controls pre-loaded, plus a scoping call to define your system boundary and CUI flows.

02

Assess & attach evidence

Walk each control, mark status, and upload evidence. The crosswalk engine credits matching NIST 800-53 controls automatically.

03

Generate the deliverables

One click produces the SSP, SAR, POA&M, and the C3PAO-ready evidence ZIP. Share directly with your assessor.

Compare to Vanta

Purpose-built for federal - not a SOC 2 add-on.

Vanta and Drata start at $12,000+/year and treat CMMC as an add-on. Symbiosis is built for it, and this package proves it for a one-time $2,500.

Frequently asked

Answers before you buy.

Scope, timeline, deliverables, and what we need from you.

Scope

What's included in the CMMC Level 2 Readiness Package?
A pre-seeded workspace with all 110 CMMC Level 2 controls (aligned to NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2), a POA&M template, a gap report PDF, SSP and SAR generators, a C3PAO-ready evidence ZIP export, the NIST 800-53 Rev 5 crosswalk, and 30 days of asynchronous advisory support - for $2,500 flat.
Which system boundary does the package cover?
One CUI system boundary - typically a defined enclave (e.g., an M365 GCC High tenant, a segregated AWS GovCloud account, or an on-prem CUI network). Additional boundaries can be added at $1,500 each.
Is CMMC Level 1 or Level 3 covered?
Level 1 (17 controls) is included as a subset. Level 3 is not covered by this package - it layers 24 additional NIST SP 800-172 controls and requires a separate engagement.
Do you file with the DoD or run the C3PAO audit?
No. We prepare you for the C3PAO assessment - SSP, SAR, POA&M, and a structured evidence package your assessor can ingest without reformatting. The formal C3PAO audit is separate and performed by an authorized third-party assessor.

Timeline

How long does the engagement take?
Most contractors complete initial readiness in 3–6 weeks: week 1 kickoff and scoping, weeks 2–4 evidence collection and control walk-through, weeks 5–6 gap closure and deliverable generation. The 30-day advisory window starts on kickoff.
When should I start relative to the November 2026 CMMC deadline?
Start now. C3PAO capacity is finite, and audit lead times are already stretching 60–120 days. Finishing readiness by mid-2026 gives you a realistic slot before the enforcement deadline.
What happens after the 30-day advisory window?
Your workspace stays yours. You can continue on any monthly plan (Starter $89, Professional $339, Advisory $799+) to keep the workspace, evidence, and crosswalks active. No auto-renewal - you choose whether to continue.

Deliverables

What deliverables do I receive?
(1) System Security Plan (SSP) PDF with control-by-control narrative; (2) Security Assessment Report (SAR) PDF with assessor findings; (3) Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) as a live tracker plus CSV/PDF export; (4) Gap Report PDF summarizing posture by control family; (5) C3PAO-ready evidence ZIP with manifest.json for integrity; (6) SPRS score estimate.
Are the deliverables reusable across assessments?
Yes. Every artifact is regenerated on demand from your live workspace, so re-assessments, POA&M refreshes, and annual affirmations reuse the same evidence base without rework.
Can I brand or white-label the outputs?
Basic branding (org name, logo, primary color) is included. Full white-label - including advisor-facing multi-client mode - is on the Advisory plan.

What we need from you

What evidence inputs do you need from us?
For each of the 110 controls, you provide the artifacts that prove it: policies (access control, incident response, media protection), procedures, system diagrams, tenant configuration exports (M365 / Entra / AWS), MFA and identity screenshots, audit-log samples, backup and encryption evidence, vulnerability-scan results, training records, and personnel screening confirmations. Most items already exist inside your IT and HR systems - the engagement is largely about assembling and mapping them, not creating them from scratch.
Who do we need on our side?
A single accountable owner (typically the ISSO, CISO, or IT director), plus 2–4 hours per week from IT/security engineers for evidence collection. HR is needed briefly for personnel-screening controls; legal is needed briefly for CUI-marking language.
What if we don't have policies written yet?
We ship policy templates aligned to NIST 800-171 for the 17 control families. You tailor them to your environment; the advisor reviews before you attach them as evidence.
Do you touch our production systems?
No. This is a documentation and evidence engagement. You upload artifacts to your isolated workspace; we do not receive, run, or connect to your CUI systems.

Comparisons & terms

How does this compare to Vanta or Drata for federal work?
Vanta and Drata start at $12,000+/year and treat CMMC as an add-on to their SOC 2 flow. Symbiosis is purpose-built for CMMC L2, produces SSP/SAR/POA&M automatically, and ships C3PAO-ready exports - for a one-time $2,500.
Can I request a refund?
Yes. Full refund within 14 days if the package isn't a fit for your organization.
