Your CMMC Compliance Checklist

Everything You Need to Get Ready for DoD Contracts — Without the Guesswork 
By ACTIVECYBER 

Why This Matters 

CMMC is no longer optional. If your company handles Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), you’ll need to prove your cybersecurity maturity — and soon. The DoD’s final rule is out, and CMMC requirements are rolling out now through 2027. 

This one-pager gives you a step-by-step checklist and timeline to help you: 

  • Understand your required CMMC level 

  • Prepare for certification with less risk and rework 

  • Know where ActiveCyber fits into your journey 

Which Level Applies to you ?

  • Data Type: FCI (Basic)

    You Handle: Contract terms, internal docs, non-public info 

  • Data Type: CUI (Sensitive)

    You Handle: PII, proprietary code, tech specs, deliverables 

  • Data Type: CUI + APT risk 

    You Handle: Advanced programs needing nation-state-grade defenses 

Your 6-Step Path to CMMC Certification

  • 1.) Confirm your level

    ActiveCyber helps classify your data types and review contracts to determine the required CMMC level.

  • 2.) Define your scope

    We map what systems, users, and cloud assets fall under compliance — and build the diagrams and inventories required for audit.

  • 3.) Perform a gap assessment

    Our team benchmarks your current posture against CMMC/NIST controls, flags gaps, and prepares your SSP.

  • 4.) Build a Remediation Plan (POA&M)

    We prioritize what to fix and help execute — with real documentation and evidence gathering along the way.

  • 5.) prepare for assessment

    Whether self-assessment or third-party audit, we support your team all the way through.

  • 6.) Maintain Certification

    Stay compliant with updates, annual reviews, and technical guidance to keep your DoD eligibility intact.
