COST DISCUSSION

The Department of Defense estimates the cost to certify an existing CMMC Level 1 system at $5,977 (88 FR 89058). However, this estimate does not include the cost of creating or implementing a compliant IT environment. Because secure system requirements have been part of the Federal Acquisition Regulations since 2013, the government assumes your business already has a fully compliant system in place.

In reality, most small businesses do not have a CMMC-compliant environment today. Hiring an IT consulting firm to build one for you can cost 10–20 times more than the government’s estimate—before the certification cost is even added.

The Branch Compliance Level 1 Self-Certification Guide is the most cost-effective CMMC solution on the market specifically designed for small businesses. Once implemented, you will have everything required to build a compliant Microsoft 365 environment and complete your self-assessment and documentation.

We understand that CMMC may feel like an additional expense placed on small businesses, but it affects every contractor in the DoD supply chain equally. Your competitive advantage comes from minimizing implementation costs and achieving compliance sooner than competitors who wait or choose expensive consulting options.
