CMMC Level 2 is the most critical certification tier for contractors working with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). It requires implementation of all 110 controls from NIST SP 800-171, documentation of compliance, and often an assessment by a Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO).
With the DFARS 252.204-7021 Final Rule taking effect on November 10, 2025, CMMC Level 2 certification becomes mandatory in many new DoD solicitations.
⚠️ Warning: Many vendors claim to offer “CMMC Level 2 solutions” but only provide partial checklists or advisory without a secure environment. These won’t get you certified.
A CMMC Level 2 solution is a comprehensive package of:
🔐 Secure-by-design infrastructure for handling CUI
📜 Documentation support (SSP, POAM, policies)
🧠 Compliance advisory from certified experts
⚙️ Technical controls for NIST 800-171 alignment
