Build the Right
CMMC Path.
Not the Wrong One.

Level 1 and Level 2 are not the same readiness path, the same quote, or the same evidence package. SLBNow scopes your actual environment first — then builds the plan that fits your real obligation.

⚠ Active Enforcement

DFARS 252.204-7021 is effective. Contractors that cannot show documented readiness risk delayed awards, teammate removal, and False Claims Act exposure for unsupported affirmations.

Why This Matters Now

What Happens When CMMC Is Handled Poorly

Ignoring CMMC or rushing a readiness package creates cascading exposure — at the proposal stage, at the subcontract level, and at affirmation time.

Award Friction

A weak readiness package slows proposal decisions, complicates flowdown responses, and delays contract action when evidence is thin or documentation is still in draft status.

Teammate Risk

Primes do not want avoidable supplier risk. Subcontractors that cannot explain their scope or readiness path are easier to remove than fix when contract deadlines approach.

Affirmation Exposure

Unsupported SPRS scores and incomplete documentation create False Claims Act exposure when a contractor cannot substantiate what it affirmed during award or renewal.

Our Service Model

Two Readiness Tracks. One Managed Path.

Every SLBNow engagement starts with scoping, evidence review, and documented findings. We confirm what data you handle, what level applies, and what evidence you already have — before a single policy is written.

  • FCI scope confirmation and boundary review

Complete Compliance Support

Everything Your Compliance Program Needs

Beyond the core readiness tracks, SLBNow delivers the documentation, training, and supply chain oversight that complete your CMMC compliance program.

📋
Policy & Documentation Development

CMMC assessors require policies and procedures in final, approved form — not working drafts or downloaded templates that were never implemented. SLBNow produces documentation written for your actual environment, structured for audit, and delivered ready for signature.

Access control · Authentication procedures · Media sanitization · SSP Level 1 & 2 · FCI boundary diagrams · Asset inventory · Evidence catalog · SPRS submission package
🎓
Security Awareness & Workforce Training

CMMC assessors require dated completion records showing who trained and on what. SLBNow delivers structured training programs that produce audit-ready evidence — completion records, dated rosters, and curriculum logs formatted for CMMC assessment use.

Subcontractor Compliance Management

Under DFARS 252.204-7021, a non-compliant subcontractor is the prime's legal problem. Primes must verify subcontractor CMMC status before award and maintain annual affirmations. SLBNow manages that obligation end to end.

SPRS verification · Flow-down clause implementation · Subcontractor register · Annual affirmation tracking · CMMC certificate monitoring · FCA due-diligence documentation

Common Questions

CMMC Questions We Hear Every Day

Level 1 applies to contractors handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) only — 15 basic cybersecurity practices, annual self-assessment. Level 2 applies to contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) — all 110 practices in NIST SP 800-171, with possible third-party assessment requirement. Scoping, documentation, evidence standards, and cost are materially different. They are not the same readiness path.
Federal Contract Information (FCI) is information provided by or generated for the government under contract that is not intended for public release. Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) includes technical data, export-controlled data, and privacy-sensitive records the government requires to be safeguarded by law or policy. CUI determinations should be reflected in your contract or DD-254. If your contract does not specify, SLBNow can help you scope correctly before you build the wrong readiness package.
No — and any organization telling you they can certify you without being an accredited C3PAO is misrepresenting their credential. SLBNow is a Registered Practitioner Organization credentialed to provide advisory and readiness support. We build the gap assessment, documentation, evidence structure, and readiness package. Certification is conducted by an accredited C3PAO. We prepare you, guide you to the right C3PAO, and support you through the process.
Level 1 readiness for a small contractor typically takes 4–8 weeks from initial scoping through a completed self-assessment support package. Level 2 timelines vary by environment complexity and existing documentation maturity — 3 to 9 months is a realistic planning range. The most important factor is starting with an accurate scope. Our free 30-minute evaluation gives you a realistic estimate based on your actual situation.
A no-cost, no-obligation scoping call with a senior SLBNow practitioner. In 30 minutes, we cover what contracts you hold, what data you handle, your current documentation posture, and what readiness track is appropriate. You leave knowing exactly what level applies, what the gap looks like, and what a realistic engagement would entail. No sales pitch — if we are not the right fit, we will tell you.
