What Is CMMC Level 1?

CMMC Level 1 is the baseline cybersecurity compliance tier for Department of Defense contractors who handle Federal Contract Information (FCI) — information provided by or generated for the government under a contract that is not intended for public release.

Level 1 requires compliance with 59 assessment objectives derived from FAR 52.204-21. Unlike Level 2, Level 1 does not require a third-party assessor — instead, organizations must complete an annual self-assessment and attest that each practice is either Met or Not Met, then record their results in SPRS (Supplier Performance Risk System). The challenge: most organizations that attempt Level 1 on their own produce incomplete documentation, miss required evidence, or submit self-assessments that don’t reflect their actual posture — exposing them to risk if the DoD performs a spot check.

7 Structured Deliverables. Complete Coverage.

Every deliverable is audit-ready, organized in your Cavalry GRC Tool, and designed to hold up to a DoD spot check.

01

Scope Definition

We help you identify exactly which systems, processes, contracts, and people fall under CMMC Level 1. Nothing gets over-scoped. Nothing that should be in scope gets missed.

02

Policy & Procedure Development

We draft or refine the documentation that supports every Level 1 practice — written in clear, audit-ready language that holds up to a DoD review.

03

Gap Analysis

We compare your current practices against all 59 assessment objectives and document exactly where each practice is Met or Not Met.

04

Evidence Guidance & Organization

We guide you on exactly what proof to gather (screenshots, logs, configurations) and help you organize it in your GRC Tool, so the right documentation lands in the right places and stays audit-ready.

05

SPRS Submission Support

We guide your team through the complete SPRS submission process, ensuring your self-assessment is accurate, defensible, and properly recorded.

06

Remediation Planning

Any gaps identified during the engagement get a prioritized remediation plan, with timelines and owners, so every practice reaches Met before your self-assessment is finalized.

07

Continuous Monitoring Guidance

We establish simple, practical routines your team can follow year-round to maintain your Level 1 posture — with built-in review dates for policies and procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Typically 4–8 weeks, depending on your organization’s size, existing documentation, and responsiveness during the evidence collection phase.

Level 1 works differently than Level 2 here: there is no POA&M option, and all 59 assessment objectives must be met before your self-assessment and affirmation are submitted. When we find gaps, we build a prioritized remediation plan with timelines and owners, and we do not consider the engagement complete until every objective is Met.

If your contracts involve FCI but not CUI, Level 1 is likely your requirement. If you’re handling CUI, you’re looking at Level 2. Not sure? Schedule a discovery call and we’ll determine scope together.
