CMMC Pre or Mock Assessments

How it works?

A detailed assessment schedule will be provided by Ariento well in advance for you to prepare. We start by reviewing and confirming the scope of the assessment. Once complete and agreed upon, we conduct documentation review and interviews to understand the implementation of the CMMC security controls on the in scope assets. We sum everything up in a preliminary findings report that identifies where you sufficiently meet the control objectives and where you don’t. At this point there is the opportunity to transition the engagement directly into and official CMMC Level 2 certification assessment in which we would request demonstrations and additional evidence to test/validate the security controls.

Who is it for? 

A CMMC pre or mock assessment engagement may be right for your organization if any of the following are true:

  1. Your believe your organization or enclave is complaint or close to compliant with CMMC Level 2.

  2. You believe you are ready for a CMMC Level 2 certification assessment, and want an authorized C3PAO to validate your readiness.

  3. You believe you are ready for a CMMC Level 2 certification assessment, and want to do a cost effective dry run with an authorized C3PAO to gain experience on what it will be like.

  4. You want to lock in and work with Ariento as your authorized C3PAO.

How is it a pre or mock assessment different from readiness & advisory services?

It is similar with one key difference: recommendation. When we do a mock or pre assessment, we do NOT provide recommendation on how to remediate any security controls you don’t meet, we simply give you the results of met or not met for each security control. For this reason, these engagements can transition into an official CMMC Level 2 certification (with some efficiency and cost savings) with Ariento as your C3PAO because we did provide any recommendations or assistance in preparing you for CMMC.

How long is the engagement duration (Period of Performance)?

4-6 weeks in total.

How much does it Cost?

Our average pre or mock assessment engagement ranges from $40,000 - $80,000 and is a firm fixed price. This does not include the optional transition to an official CMMC Level 2 certification assessment, however cost efficiencies exist for that given the preliminary work already completed in the mock or pre assessment engagement.
