"ComplyAssistant’s cloud-based software solution allowed us to efficiently and effectively manage the entire compliance process, from assessment development and distribution through management of action items." --CIO, Cape Regional Health System
In 2020, CMMC defined five levels of certification, based on the sensitivity of the information a contractor is handling and the level of cybersecurity maturity needed to secure information at each level. For the first time, contractors have a responsibility to comply with these capabilities—and have that compliance verified by a third party.
The five levels of CMMC Maturity are as follows:
- Performed—Basic Cyber Hygiene
- Documented—Intermediate Cyber Hygiene
- Managed—Good Cyber Hygiene
- Reviewed—Proactive
- Optimizing—Advanced/Progressive

With ComplyAssistant’s CMMC software, users easily and seamlessly analyze, manage, and score risk based on their respective cybersecurity maturity level.
1) Analyze Risk
Assess your organization’s risk using our thorough risk analysis tool, based on CMMC guidelines. You’ll be able to assign your organization a score based on risk level, and identify high-, medium- and low-risk areas.
2) Manage Risk
Using your risk ratings, you can then begin to manage areas of risk throughout your organization. We recommend starting with the highest areas of risk first and then working your way down. Our compliance software allows you to distinguish high- and medium-risk areas to guide your remediation efforts.
