CMMC, Explained on a Single Page on a single page.
Most CMMC material is either a two-line summary that tells you nothing or a 300-page framework nobody reads. This is the page we hand to executives who need to understand what is being asked of them before approving a budget.
One-pager · PDF · print-ready

- A prime has sent you a flow-down clause and you are unsure what it obliges.
- You need to explain CMMC to a board or a finance lead in one sitting.

What is inside
Everything it covers
- 01 The levels, in plain language, and which one your contracts actually require
- 02 FCI versus CUI — the distinction that determines nearly everything else
- 03 How flow-down reaches subcontractors, and what you can push back on
- 04 What a C3PAO assessment looks for, and the evidence you must be able to produce
- 05 Where NIST 800-171 fits, and why your SPRS score matters before any assessment
- 06 The commercial cloud trap — why standard Microsoft 365 may not be sufficient
- 07 Realistic timelines and the sequence most organizations get wrong
Why one page
Because compliance stalls where it stops being explainable. If you cannot get the person controlling the budget to understand the obligation in a single sitting, the program does not start.
Questions
Before you download
- Is this legal advice?
- No. It is a practical summary of what the levels require and what auditors ask for. Your contracting officer and counsel are the authority on your specific obligations.
- We are a subcontractor — does CMMC apply to us?
- Usually yes, if CUI or FCI touches your systems. The one-pager covers how flow-down works, because that is the question we field most.
- Can you take us through it?
- Yes. We run gap assessments and managed compliance, including Azure GCC High. The one-pager is free either way.
