QUICK CHECK · L1-MC 5 OF 15 REQUIREMENTS SAMPLED

AC · ACCESS CONTROL

Does every person at your company use their own individual login, with no shared accounts?

MP · MEDIA DISPOSAL

Before computers or drives leave your control - sold, donated, or trashed - is the contract information on them wiped or destroyed?

PE · PHYSICAL PROTECTION

Do all visitors to your facility get escorted and signed in - and do you track who holds keys and door codes?

SC · BOUNDARY PROTECTION

Is there a firewall between your network and the internet that someone at your company actually manages?

SI · SYSTEM INTEGRITY

Are security updates installed promptly on every machine, including the server?

THE SITUATION

32 CFR 170 · PHASED ROLLOUT

CMMC enforcement began phasing into DoD contracts in November 2025. Level 1 self-assessments are required now. Phase 2 - the third-party assessment step - was suspended in July 2026, and Level 1 wasn't touched.

SPRS · LEGALLY BINDING

Your Level 1 self-assessment score goes into SPRS, and it's a legal attestation. Guessing your way through the checkboxes is the expensive kind of shortcut.

FLOWDOWN · BOTH DIRECTIONS

If you work through a prime, they must flow the requirement down to you, and many now refuse subs who can't show a posture. If you hold the contract directly, the same duty runs from you to your own subcontractors.

The complete Level 1 job, start to submission

Policy generators sell you documents. Consultants sell you hours. This is the whole job, in the order you'll actually do it.

01

Guided self-assessment

Plain-English questions mapped to the 15 Level 1 requirements and their published assessment objectives. Each one explains what the control actually means for a small shop - no jargon walls.

02

Scored gap report

Which requirements you meet, which you don't, and what your honest posture looks like before you attest to anything. If you'd fail today, the report says so - that's the point.

03

Remediation plan

For every gap: what to fix, in what order, with guidance sized for a small business - not an enterprise security team.

04

Generated policy pack

The written policies a Level 1 shop needs, built from your answers. Customized documents, not blank templates with your logo pasted on.

05

Evidence checklist

Per requirement: the artifacts, logs, and records to keep on file. This is what primes and assessors actually ask about, and it's the piece every cheap tool skips.

06

SPRS submission walkthrough

Exactly what to enter, where, step by step. You leave with a score submitted, not a to-do list.

Straight answers

Are you a certification body or a CMMC assessor?

No, and we won't pretend to be. Level 1 doesn't involve a third-party assessor - it's a self-assessment that you attest to. Our job is making your documentation real, your gaps visible, and your submission organized. Every output maps to the published requirements in FAR 52.204-21 and the DoD's assessment guidance, and the mapping is shown in your documents so you can verify it yourself.

Can't I just do this myself with the free government documents?

Yes - everything Level 1 requires is published for free by the DoD and NIST. What you're buying is the afternoon instead of the month: the requirements translated into plain English, the policies written from your answers instead of assembled from scratch, and the evidence list that tells you what a prime will actually ask for. If you have the time and the patience for federal documentation, the DIY path is real and we'd never tell you otherwise.

What if the report says I'd fail today?

Then it says so, and you'll know exactly what to fix before you attest. Your SPRS submission is legally binding - a tool that softens your gaps to make you feel good would be doing you real harm. The honest gap report is the product.

How do I know I'm Level 1 and not Level 2?

Short version: if you handle Federal Contract Information but not Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), you're Level 1. If your contracts include DFARS 252.204-7012, you're likely handling CUI and Level 2 applies - this product won't cover you, and we'll say so rather than sell to you. Email us if you're not sure and we'll help you figure it out before you spend a dollar.

Why is it $249 right now?

Level 1 Ready is new. The first 20 customers get the founder price, direct access to us during their assessment, and delivery within 5 business days while we finish automating the pipeline. The price goes to $349 after that.

What if I want my money back?

14 days, full refund, no forms to fill out. Email support@level1ready.com.
