We’re proud to announce that Secureframe has officially achieved CMMC Level 2 certification after completing an assessment conducted by CMMC 3rd Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO) Redspin—joining a small but growing number of organizations that have proactively pursued CMMC certification ahead of the enforcement deadline and phased rollout.

Based on the number of organizations listed as Level 2 (C3PAO) certified in eMASS as of the date of our certification, less than 0.3% of the estimated 220,000+ companies in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) are certified at this level. This underscores both the complexity of the certification process and the importance of having a partner you can trust to help you navigate the process to avoid delays. 

Like our FedRAMP 20x Low authorization announced last month, our CMMC Level 2 certification is more than a compliance milestone. It’s a testament that Secureframe isn’t just supporting federal compliance for others—we’re living it ourselves.

What we learned going through the CMMC process ourselves

CMMC is not like SOC 2 or ISO 27001—the readiness and certification process is much harder than many organizations expect, especially at Level 2. We know because we’ve gone through all of these ourselves.

This complexity shows up at nearly every stage of the compliance process, from scoping your environment to implementing the controls and assessment objectives to maintaining extensive documentation. Our System Security Plan (SSP) alone was over 150 pages and had to address all 110 CMMC Level 2 controls and 320 assessment objectives. Getting any part of the process wrong results in scope creep, gaps in coverage, and delays in certification. 

By navigating and completing our own CMMC Level 2 assessment, we gained firsthand insight into the real-world challenges that DIB organizations face, and we used that experience to refine Secureframe Federal and Comply to better support our customers’ journeys.

How our product reflects our first-hand experience with CMMC

Our first-hand experience preparing for and undergoing a CMMC Level 2 third-party assessment directly informed improvements to both Secureframe Federal, a purpose-built solution for federal contractors, and the Comply platform.

Our all-in-one federal solution is optimized to reduce the time, cost, and complexity of CMMC compliance while maintaining the highest security standards. Customers get:

• Live SPRS score tracking: Get real-time SPRS score tracking based on the current implementation status of your controls so you’re always ready to assess and demonstrate your CMMC readiness. This automated scoring allows you to prioritize remediation if gaps exist, maintain compliance over time as your controls and system changes, and stay eligible for existing or new contracts. 
• Complete visibility into CMMC controls: You can view all 110 CMMC Level 2 controls and 320 assessment objectives in a single table, complete with their implementation status, statements, evidence, and SPRS point value. This makes it easier to understand your CMMC compliance posture and identify what gaps to fill to get you closer to the maximum score.
• Automated evidence collection and gap analysis: Secureframe automatically collects evidence from AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, Microsoft GCC High, Intune GCC High, and other parts of your tech stack to prove adherence to all requirements and assessment objectives of CMMC Levels 1, 2, or 3—or show where gaps exist. 
• Reduced documentation burden: Documenting the implementation of hundreds of Level 2 controls and assessment objectives in a template that’s at least 200 pages on average is an acute pain point for defense contractors—Secureframe lessens it by automatically filling in sections of the SSP with data from your controls, policies, vendors, and other modules in the Secureframe Comply platform. 
• Simplified remediation: For each of the 110 controls that must be documented in your SSP, you can view all related assessment objectives and provide the implementation status and statements for each. Add attachments, comments, or PO&AM items to any of the 320 assessment objectives to streamline remediation and avoid any surprise findings of NOT MET during your assessment.
• Dedicated Module for C3PAOs: Finally, our platform includes a dedicated Auditor Module, which allows C3PAOs to securely review your evidence and documentation in-platform—reducing the back-and-forth and improving the efficiency of your CMMC assessment. This is especially valuable for CMMC, where timelines can be tight and collaboration is critical.

Together, these features make the CMMC certification process simpler, clearer, and faster for our customers.

We’re CMMC certified and ready to prove it—and can help you do the same

Having gone through the process ourselves has not only helped us improve our federal tooling—it’s also enabled us to build out the required documentation, including a complete Customer Responsibility Matrix (CRM). That way, customers won’t experience delays caused by platform or vendor gaps.

We’re ready to support defense contractors, subcontractors, and service providers from day one of their own CMMC readiness journey. We not only have the certification and documentation to prove it—we also have customers like Manufacturing Consulting Concepts who have already used our automation and experts to achieve certification.

Leading the way in federal compliance and innovation

We just learned last week that CMMC enforcement is officially starting on November 10, 2025—but we’ve been preparing for months for this deadline. 

Our CMMC Level 2 certification is the latest milestone in our efforts to lead and support the next evolution in federal compliance. 

Over the years, we’ve partnered with C3PAOs like Coalfire Federal and Redspin, vCISOs, and MSPs to combine our automation capabilities with deep assessment expertise to provide the most efficient path to CMMC. We also launched CMMC.com, a first-of-its-kind solution built by experts to give the entire federal compliance community free templates, tools, and the latest updates and guidance to navigate CMMC. 

We’ll continue to create tools, templates, and resources that demystify compliance and empower contractors across the DIB to improve their cybersecurity—and we’ll do the same to ensure we’re offering the most secure and innovative platform. Let’s secure the DIB, together.
