CMMC for startups. From $2,000.

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) keeps you eligible for defense work. A CMMC Level 2 readiness package is issued by a Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization, never by us. We build the program, the policies and the evidence behind it.

What you get for CMMC.

The same platform every framework runs on, pointed at this one: your answers, your evidence, your documents.

Level 1 self-assessmentThe 15 practices that protect Federal Contract Information, scored and documented so you can affirm annually in the Supplier Performance Risk System.
Level 2 mapped to 110 practicesEach of the 110 NIST 800-171 practices gets a control, an owner, and an evidence slot, with the gaps listed in the order an assessor works through them.
System Security Plan and POA&MThe System Security Plan and Plan of Action and Milestones drafted from your answers, the two documents an assessor reads before anything else.

How CMMC runs here.

Four steps, in this order, with the handoff at the end.

  1. Step 1

    Intake and level scoping

    Tell us which contracts you hold or want, and whether they involve Controlled Unclassified Information. That answer sets Level 1 or Level 2 before anything is billed.

  2. Step 2

    Deterministic gap analysis

    Your answers are compared against the 15 or 110 practices and scored the way the assessment methodology scores them, so you see the number an assessor would see.

  3. Step 3

    Policies, SSP, and evidence binder

    Policies, the System Security Plan, and the Plan of Action and Milestones are drafted from your own answers, and evidence is filed against each practice.

  4. Step 4

    Self-affirm or hand off to a C3PAO

    Level 1 ends with your annual self-assessment and affirmation. Level 2 ends with a readiness package for a Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization we arrange.

What CMMC costs.

Published where it can be published, and arranged with the firm that signs it where it cannot.

$2,000 one time for platform onboarding.

That is the intake, the gap analysis, your policies, the evidence binder and the handoff package.

A CMMC Level 2 readiness package is arranged with a Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization and quoted before it begins.

The CMMC Phase 2 rollout was paused on 13 July 2026 pending a review. Polara scopes Level 2 readiness against the 110 practices and does not promise a certification date.

Polara Labs is not an accredited assessor. Assessments are performed by the independent assessor the framework requires.

CMMC questions.

What buyers ask, and what the work actually involves.

No one can promise that right now. Level 2 certification is assessed by a Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization, and the Phase 2 rollout was paused on 13 July 2026 pending a review. We build readiness against the 110 practices so you are ready when assessments resume.
Platform onboarding starts at $2,000 for either level. The C3PAO assessment for Level 2 is arranged through partner firms and priced by them, and we scope your level on a call before anything is billed.
If your contracts only involve Federal Contract Information, yes. Level 1 is an annual self-assessment of 15 practices. The moment a contract involves Controlled Unclassified Information, Level 2 applies.
Level 2 is built on the 110 practices of NIST SP 800-171. If you already have a scored NIST 800-171 self-assessment in SPRS, we start from it rather than redoing it.

Unblock the deal.

Tell us where you are with CMMC and we will tell you what is left.

Polara Labs builds both sides of the audit: the readiness platform startups use to earn a SOC 2 report, an ISO 27001 certificate or whatever their buyers ask for, and the practice OS audit firms use to run the examination. Every price is published on the page it belongs to.
