CMMC 2.0 COMPLIANCE SOFTWARE FOR THE DEFENSE INDUSTRIAL BASE
Manage CMMC 2.0 across all 14 domains, the 110 NIST 800-171 practices for Level 2 and the 24 enhanced practices for Level 3. Live SPRS scoring, System Security Plan, POA&M, evidence vault — assessment-ready, every day.
What is CMMC 2.0 and who must comply? The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification 2.0 is the US Department of Defense’s mandatory cyber maturity programme for the Defense Industrial Base. Level 1 (17 practices) covers Federal Contract Information; Level 2 (110 practices, drawn directly from NIST SP 800-171) protects Controlled Unclassified Information; Level 3 adds 24 enhanced practices from NIST SP 800-172 for high-sensitivity programmes. Most Level 2 contracts require a triennial third-party assessment by a C3PAO; less-sensitive Level 2 work allows annual self-assessment with senior-official affirmation.
110 PRACTICES, 14 DOMAINS, ONE LIVE VIEW
CMMC 2.0 Level 2 maps directly to NIST SP 800-171’s 110 practices across 14 domains — Access Control, Audit & Accountability, Configuration Management, Identification & Authentication, Incident Response and the rest. Venvera shows every practice with its implementation status, control owner, evidence link, weighted SPRS impact, and POA&M entries. Each practice is also cross-mapped to ISO 27001:2022 Annex A and NIST CSF 2.0 so existing evidence carries through.
- All 110 Level 2 practices tracked at the assessment-objective level
- Implementation status: Met / Not Met / Not Applicable per assessment objective
- SPRS-weighted scoring (1, 3, or 5 points) computed live from your control state
- Cross-framework mapping to ISO 27001:2022 Annex A + NIST CSF 2.0
- Optional Level 3 overlay: 24 enhanced practices from NIST 800-172
YOUR SPRS SCORE, ALWAYS CURRENT
The Supplier Performance Risk System score starts at 110 and subtracts the weighted point value of every Not-Met practice. DoD reads this score for every contract. Venvera computes it live from your control state, projects the score uplift of your in-flight POA&M items, and exports the SPRS submission package the moment your CO asks for it. No annual scramble.
- Live SPRS score (110 max) updated on every control change
- Per-practice weight (1 / 3 / 5) explained in plain English
- Forecast view: "if all in-flight POA&Ms close, your score becomes X"
- SPRS submission CSV ready for direct upload to the DoD portal
- Historical score timeline for trend evidence to your CO
SYSTEM SECURITY PLAN AND POA&M, GENERATED — NOT WRITTEN
The C3PAO will ask for two things first: your System Security Plan describing how each of the 110 practices is implemented, and your Plan of Action & Milestones for any practice not fully met. Venvera maintains both as living documents. Each practice carries its implementation narrative inline; close-out a POA&M item and the SSP updates the same minute. Export both as polished DOCX whenever you need to.
- Per-practice implementation narrative captured inside the control
- POA&M entries with target close date, owner, milestones, and status
- Automatic linkage from POA&M close-outs to SSP narrative refresh
- DOCX export of SSP (74-page format) and POA&M (XLSX) on demand
- Version control with diff view for auditor walkthroughs
EVIDENCE VAULT BUILT FOR THE C3PAO WALKTHROUGH
Every practice has an evidence record — screenshots, configuration exports, policy documents, training attestations. Venvera links artefacts directly to the practice, tracks freshness, and surfaces what is stale before the C3PAO does. When the assessor walks through your environment, every control has the receipts already attached.
- Per-practice evidence binding (no orphan documents)
- Freshness tracking with auto-stale alerts (default 365 days)
- Encrypted storage with per-tenant AES-256-GCM keys
- Auditor read-only portal: time-bound, magic-link access
- Bulk export for DIBCAC handover (Level 3) or C3PAO (Level 2)
LEVEL 3 OVERLAY FOR HIGHER-SENSITIVITY CONTRACTS
A small number of contracts (priority CUI-handling) require CMMC Level 3 — Level 2 plus 24 enhanced practices from NIST SP 800-172, assessed directly by DoD DIBCAC. Toggle the Level 3 overlay on, and Venvera surfaces only the additional practices: penetration testing, threat hunting, advanced persistent threat detection. No clutter for organisations that only need Level 2.
- Level 3 toggle enables 24 additional NIST 800-172 practices
- DIBCAC-format evidence package export
- Threat hunt and penetration test scheduling tied to practice 3.11.2e
- Advanced persistent threat playbook templates
- Assessment-ready package handover for DIBCAC review
CONTINUOUS COMPLIANCE BETWEEN ASSESSMENTS
CMMC 2.0 is triennial — Level 2 third-party assessments every three years, with annual self-affirmation. Venvera provides the continuous monitoring you need to keep the affirmation honest: scheduled control reviews, drift detection from cloud integrations (Azure, AWS, GCP), and automatic POA&M opening when a control regresses. So at year three you don’t cram for the assessment — you walk in current.
- Scheduled control reviews (default 90-day) with reminder workflows
- Drift detection from M365 / Azure / AWS / GCP integrations
- Auto-open POA&M items when an implemented control regresses
- Annual self-affirmation evidence package ready on schedule
- Triennial assessment readiness scorecard
