In short: Free CMMC Level 1 gap analysis: 17 questions on FAR 52.204-21, a readiness score, the practices you would fail and what fixes each one with a price. Four minutes, before you affirm in SPRS.
Since the CMMC rule took effect, Level 1 contractors self-assess every year and a senior official affirms the result in SPRS under 32 CFR 170.22; a false affirmation is a False Claims Act exposure, and the 2026 settlements show the DOJ is using it. Class Deviation 2026-O0025 Revision 3 of 3 September 2026 kept Level 1 in Phase 1 while Phase 2 is suspended, so Level 1 is the gate most primes check first.

- Unlock the plan: The full table: fix per practice, the ITSECOPS fixed-fee price, the typical US consultancy price, and a copy by email within one business day.
Frequently asked questions
What does CMMC Level 1 cost to fix?
A 10-user FCI-only contractor typically spends $2,000 to $8,000 to reach a defensible annual self-assessment; the ITSECOPS Level 1 package (self-assessment workbook, evidence folder, affirmation record) is a fixed fee in the lower half of that range. The tool prices each practice separately so you only pay for what fails.
Do I need a C3PAO for Level 1?
No. Level 1 is an annual self-assessment with an affirmation in SPRS. ITSECOPS is a readiness consultancy, not a C3PAO, and the tool is built for the self-assessment.
Is a Partly answer a fail?
Under the assessment guide a practice is MET or NOT MET; there is no partial credit. The tool shows Partly as a gap with half the remediation cost so you can prioritise.
Does this cover Level 2?
No. Use the CMMC Level 2 gap analysis tool for the 110 NIST SP 800-171 requirements and the SPRS score calculator for your current score.
