No CMMC, no DoD contract.
Venvera is CMMC compliance software that delivers the practices, the plans of action and the C3PAO-ready evidence for CMMC 2.0 Level 1 and Level 2, so you can bid on and keep the Department of Defense contracts your uncertified competitors simply cannot touch.
How much of CMMC 2.0 do you already have?
Pick the framework you already run. Every control domain that appears in both is listed with the requirement reference on each side, so you can see the reusable part of your existing programme before you scope any new work.
A row means the two requirements cover the same ground, so one implementation and one set of evidence can usually serve both. It does not mean satisfying one certifies the other: each framework keeps its own scope, wording and assessment, and some requirements have no counterpart at all. Treat this as a starting map for planning, then confirm each row against the requirement text.
CMMC compliance software for Level 1 and Level 2 assessments
Venvera is CMMC compliance software for Defense Industrial Base contractors handling Federal Contract Information or Controlled Unclassified Information. It tracks the 17 Level 1 practices and the 110 Level 2 practices drawn from NIST SP 800-171, computes your SPRS score as evidence lands, and keeps the System Security Plan and the POA&M current as the work progresses. Each practice names the objective evidence a C3PAO will test, with an owner, a status and the artefacts attached, so a self-assessment or a certification assessment starts from a complete record.
What is CMMC 2.0, and why can you not win DoD work without it?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification 2.0 is the US Department of Defense mandatory cyber requirement 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 the most sensitive programmes. This is not a badge you choose to pursue - when a contract names a CMMC level, you must be able to prove it to be awarded or to keep the work. No certification at the level your contract requires and you are locked out of DoD business, while the certified vendor down the road takes the award.
Every practice, tracked to the assessment objective.
CMMC 2.0 Level 2 maps directly to the 110 NIST SP 800-171 practices across 14 domains. Venvera holds each one at the assessment-objective level - not a rolled-up domain percentage - with its status, owner, evidence link and weighted SPRS impact. Flip on the Level 3 overlay and the 24 enhanced NIST 800-172 practices appear without cluttering the view for teams that only need Level 2.
- All 110 Level 2 practices tracked at the assessment-objective level
- Status per objective: Met, Not Met, or Not Applicable with justification
- SPRS-weighted scoring (1, 3, or 5 points) computed live from control state
- Optional Level 3 overlay adds the 24 enhanced NIST 800-172 practices
- Nothing hides behind a summary percentage before the assessor arrives
Your SPRS score, live - and where it lands when your POA&Ms close.
DoD reads your Supplier Performance Risk System score for every contract, so it can never be months out of date. Venvera computes it on every control change, explains each practice weight in plain English, and forecasts the score you reach once your in-flight POA&M items close. When your contracting officer asks, the submission package is already there.
- Live SPRS score, updated on every control change
- Per-practice weight explained so nobody guesses the maths
- Forecast view: close these POA&Ms and your score becomes X
- SPRS submission CSV ready for direct upload to the DoD portal
- Historical score timeline as trend evidence for your CO
The System Security Plan and POA&M generate themselves.
The C3PAO asks for two things first: your System Security Plan describing how each practice is implemented, and your Plan of Action and Milestones for anything not fully met. Venvera keeps both as living documents. Each practice carries its implementation narrative inline, and closing a POA&M item refreshes the SSP the same minute - then exports both as polished files whenever you need them.
- Per-practice implementation narrative captured inside the control
- POA&M entries with target close date, owner, milestones and status
- POA&M close-outs refresh the SSP narrative automatically
- DOCX export of the SSP and XLSX export of the POA&M on demand
- Version history with diff view for auditor walkthroughs
Evidence the C3PAO can walk straight through.
Every practice has an evidence record - screenshots, configuration exports, policies, training attestations - bound directly to the control, never orphaned in a shared drive. Venvera tracks freshness and surfaces what has gone stale before the assessor does, so when the walkthrough starts each practice already has its receipts attached.
- Per-practice evidence binding with no orphan documents
- Freshness tracking with automatic stale alerts
- Encrypted storage with per-tenant keys
- Time-bound, read-only assessor portal via magic link
- Bulk export for the C3PAO at Level 2 or DIBCAC at Level 3
One control, mapped to every framework it satisfies.
Around 70 percent of CMMC Level 2 practices have direct equivalents in ISO 27001:2022 Annex A, and nearly all map to NIST CSF 2.0. Venvera shows those mappings inline, so evidence you collect once carries through to the practices it satisfies elsewhere. If you already run an ISMS, most of your CMMC baseline is already done.
- Inline mapping from each practice to ISO 27001:2022 Annex A
- Full mapping across to NIST CSF 2.0 categories
- Evidence collected once satisfies every mapped requirement
- Existing ISMS controls cover most of the CMMC Level 2 baseline
- No re-collecting the same proof for each separate audit
See every gap before the assessor does.
Run a structured gap assessment against all 14 domains before you engage a C3PAO. Venvera scores your readiness practice by practice and hands back a prioritised roadmap with owners, effort estimates and deadlines - so at year three you walk in current instead of cramming, and the gaps that usually surprise teams surface while there is still time to close them.
- Assessment across all 14 domains and 110 practices
- Readiness scoring from Not Started through Assessment Ready
- Prioritised remediation roadmap with owners and effort estimates
- Auto-opened POA&M items when an implemented control regresses
- Progress dashboard showing your trajectory to the assessment
