Mock Assessments – Your Secret Weapon to CMMC Success

April 03, 2024

The Indispensability of Mock Assessments for CMMC Certification

Due to escalating cybersecurity threats the DoD has mandated CMMC to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) across the defense industrial base. Contractors must demonstrate their commitment to cybersecurity maturity to be eligible for DoD contracts.

As the leading expert in preparing companies for successful CMMC certification, we understand the intricate nuances and challenges that defense contractors face. Which is why we value the pivotal role of mock assessments as a popular and valuable step toward achieving a successful and seamless CMMC certification.

When preparing for a first CMMC assessment, the mock assessment is serving many of our clients as a way to check their organization’s compliance with required controls while also offering their staff an opportunity to practice answering assessors’ questions in an engagement that mimics the certification process.

Benefits of Mock Assessments:

  • Preview your compliance score with a C3PAO: Identify controls that are not met that you believed were met.
  • Build Team Competence: Prepare your team for the real assessment with experience answering assessor questions.
  • Cost-Efficiency & Time Savings: Identify controls that need further refinement before you are under the gun to meet compliance for a particular contract.
