Entering the US defense supply chain starts with managing 110 controls

Guidant AI ships with CMMC 2.0 built in — SSP, evidence, self-assessment and C3PAO readiness on one line.

CMMC controls tree and assessment objectives

What the framework asks of you

  1. 01

    Write a System Security Plan (SSP)

    For all 110 Level 2 controls, state how you do it today. It's the first document an assessor reads.

  2. 02

    Produce evidence

    Every assessment objective (AO) needs proof — policies, configuration screenshots, logs.

  3. 03

    Plan remediation (POA&M)

    List what isn't done yet, schedule it and close it within the allowed window.

Frequently asked questions

If your customer sits in the US defense supply chain, the contract will require the matching level. Level 1 is self-assessed; most Level 2 needs a third-party assessment.
