CMMC Level 2 Assessment
Comprehensive assessment covering 110 practices required to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in DoD contracts.
Why This Matters
Entering C3PAO Unprepared Is Expensive
CMMC Level 2 is required for DoD contracts involving CUI. A failed or conditional certification doesn't just delay you — it starts a costly clock.
DoD data breaches involving Controlled Unclassified Information carry costs nearly double the global average for all sectors — a material hit to any contractor.

Conditional CMMC Level 2 certification requires all Plan of Action & Milestones items resolved within 180 days — or your contract eligibility lapses entirely.

Organizations that fail a C3PAO assessment face remediation costs plus the full cost of a second third-party assessment. Preparation is far less expensive than re-assessment.
DoD CMMC third-party assessment process
A traditional pre-assessment readiness engagement is a significant investment, while the DoD contracts at stake are substantial. FrameworkMapper makes preparation accessible — a fraction of a percent of exposure.

What is CMMC Level 2?
CMMC Level 2 is the advanced tier required for organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). It encompasses all 110 security requirements from NIST SP 800-171 and requires third-party certification for most contracts.
110 Practices
Comprehensive security controls covering all aspects of protecting sensitive government information in contractor systems.
Third-Party Certification
Most CUI contracts require assessment by a CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO) every three years.
NIST 800-171 Aligned
Directly maps to NIST Special Publication 800-171, the federal standard for protecting CUI in non-federal systems.
14 Security Domains
CMMC Level 2 practices are organized into 14 security domains based on the NIST 800-171 security requirement families.

SPRS Score Calculation
Our assessment automatically calculates your Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) score based on the DoD Assessment Methodology. Scores range from -203 to 110.
All practices not implemented
Typical starting point with major gaps
All 110 practices fully implemented
How SPRS Scoring Works
- Each practice has a weighted point value based on its security impact (1, 3, or 5 points)
- Start at 110 points, deduct points for each practice not fully implemented
- Score must be entered into SPRS and is visible to DoD contracting officers
- POA&M (Plan of Action & Milestones) can document remediation plans for gaps
How the Assessment Works
Our assessment tool guides you through all 110 practices with clear explanations, automatically calculating your SPRS score as you progress.
Select a Domain
Navigate through the 14 security domains, reviewing practices in each area.
Evaluate Each Practice
For each practice, assess your current implementation: Met, Partially Met, Mostly Met, or Not Met.
Document Evidence & POA&M
Add implementation notes and create remediation plans for any gaps identified.
Review SPRS Score & Reports
Track your calculated SPRS score and generate comprehensive reports for C3PAO preparation.
Time Estimate
A complete Level 2 assessment typically takes 4-8 hours depending on organizational complexity and existing documentation.
What to Have Ready
- System Security Plan (SSP)
- Network diagrams & system inventory
- Security policies & procedures
- Access to IT/security personnel
