CMMC Red Flag Radar Toolkit

August 05, 2025

Are You Actually Ready for Your CMMC Assessment?

Even well-prepared contractors are failing CMMC assessments and not for lack of trying. Instead, they missed warning signs that only become clear too late.

This interactive toolkit curates the most common red flags, mistakes, and blind spots our assessors see every day, so you can find them before your C3PAO does.

Why It Matters

You don’t get a second chance at a first assessment. With contract timelines tightening and expectations rising, even small missteps can derail your certification. Use this toolkit to course-correct now, not after your C3PAO points it out.
