Official. Thorough. Done Right.
As an authorized C3PAO, we conduct formal CMMC Level 2 assessments that evaluate how well your organization protects Controlled Unclassified Information – reviewing your documentation, interviewing your team, and observing your controls firsthand. If you meet the requirements, we issue your certification. If minor gaps exist, we work with you through the remediation process. Either way, you’ll have a clear path forward.
Know Where You Stand
A mock assessment gives your organization a clear picture of where you stand before the formal certification process begins. Vaultes simulates the real thing: reviewing documentation, interviewing staff, and testing controls – so you can identify and fix gaps on your own terms, not under the pressure of an official evaluation.
The Smartest Path to Certification.
Vaultes’s bundled mock and certification assessment combines readiness preparation with the formal evaluation – reducing surprises, cutting costs, and keeping your timeline on track. You’ll go into your certification confident, prepared, and backed by the same team that helped you get there.

What is CMMC?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) was introduced by the Department of Defense (DoD) to strengthen cybersecurity across its contractor base and protect sensitive government information, including Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). It establishes a tiered framework requiring contractors to meet cybersecurity standards based on the sensitivity of the information they handle, with Level 2 impacting a significant portion of the Defense Industrial Base through mandatory third-party assessments conducted by a C3PAO such as Vaultes.
Unlike previous self-attestation requirements, CMMC introduces independent validation as a prerequisite for competing on DoD contracts. Organizations that fall short risk losing contract eligibility, facing financial penalties, and weakening their standing in the defense marketplace.
Who Needs a CMMC Assessment?
You likely need one if:
- You are a DoD prime contractor
- You are a subcontractor handling CUI
- Your contract references DFARS 252.204-7012 or related clauses
- Your future bids include CMMC requirements
If you only sell commercial products to the government and don’t handle CUI you may not need certification, but you should verify contract language carefully.
Why Do I Need a CMMC Assessment?
The answer is simple: certification is now required to win (or keep) DoD Contracts if you handle Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) . Without the required certification, you cannot bid on certain DoD contracts, may lose eligibility for renewals, and may even be removed from subcontractor roles.
CMMC helps ensure you:
- Implement access controls
- Encrypt sensitive data
- Monitor networks
- Respond properly to incidents
It’s not just compliance — it’s operational protection.
