Make CMMC fast, simple and smart.

The Fragmented Approach

Scytale closes the gap between checking the box and actually being ready.

Spreadsheet-tracked POA&Ms. A System Security Plan untouched since the last review. CUI scattered across unmapped systems. Manual subcontractor tracking. Manual CMMC prep can’t keep pace with a standard that never ends.

FAQ

Everything you need to know
about CMMC.

Who needs a CMMC certification?

Organizations that handle Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) may need CMMC certification. The required certification level depends on the type of information they manage and the specific requirements outlined in their DoD contracts.

The cost of CMMC certification varies depending on your organization’s size, required CMMC level, existing security maturity, and assessment scope. Expenses typically include readiness activities, remediation, technology investments, and the formal assessment conducted by a Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO).

CMMC certification is generally valid for 3 years. Organizations must continue maintaining their security controls throughout the certification period and may need to complete annual affirmations or other ongoing compliance activities, depending on their required CMMC level. Maintaining continuous compliance helps organizations stay prepared for future assessments and contract requirements.

No, CMMC certification is not mandatory for every organization. It is only required for companies that bid on or work on U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) contracts that include CMMC requirements. As the program is being phased into DoD contracts, more contractors and subcontractors will need the appropriate CMMC certification over time.

CMMC certification typically takes several months, depending on your organization’s readiness, required certification level, and the complexity of your IT environment. Organizations with strong cybersecurity practices can often complete the process faster, while others may need more time to address security gaps.

The CMMC level your organization needs depends on the type of information you handle and your DoD contract requirements. Level 1 applies to organizations handling FCI, Level 2 is required for most organizations processing CUI, and Level 3 is reserved for organizations supporting the highest-priority DoD programs with advanced security requirements. Reviewing your contract requirements is the best way to determine which certification level applies.

Scytale simplifies CMMC compliance by combining AI-powered automation with expert GRC guidance to help organizations prepare for certification. The platform streamlines evidence collection, continuous control monitoring, policy management, risk management and audit readiness, reducing manual effort while helping teams achieve and maintain CMMC compliance.
