CMMC assessment timeline: the three year myth explained

Here is a CMMC myth we hear often. People think certification locks you into three years of nothing.

The truth is simpler. A Level 1 assessment covers 15 basic requirements and can be completed in weeks once your controls are in place. The certificate then lasts three years, but you affirm every single year that you still meet the requirements. It is not set and forget.

The biggest mistake we see

Waiting until your contract deadline to start. Gathering evidence, closing gaps and documenting controls takes real time, even for 15 requirements.

Solid Networks has a CMMC Certified Professional (CCP) on staff who leads this work in house, start to finish.
