Confirm applicability
Review the solicitation, contract and information handled. A requirement for CUI may go beyond Level 1.
Prepare for CMMC Level 1 With a Clear Readiness Plan.
Gap review, remediation, documentation and preparation for your annual self-assessment. Castle is not a C3PAO or certified assessor and does not provide third-party certification assessments.
THE COMPLIANCE REALITY
Understand Your Contract Requirements and Readiness Gaps
CMMC readiness depends on the requirements in your DoD contract, your assessment scope, and evidence that applicable safeguards are implemented.
Verify every safeguard
Level 1 requires all applicable safeguards to be MET; a remediation plan is not a conditional Level 1 status.
Maintain evidence
Repeat the self-assessment and affirmation annually and retain assessment evidence as required by 32 CFR 170.15.
OUR SOLUTIONS
CMMC Level 1 Readiness and Self-Assessment Support
Gap review and scope
Identify where Federal Contract Information is handled and compare the in-scope environment with applicable safeguards.
Remediation support
Prioritize and address identified configuration, access, patching and documentation gaps; verify completed work.
Documentation and policy templates
Organize procedures, responsibilities and supporting evidence. Adapt templates to the actual environment rather than treating them as proof of implementation.
Self-assessment preparation
Help the organization prepare evidence and understand the annual self-assessment and SPRS affirmation process. The contractor retains responsibility for its results and affirmation.
What Readiness Support Includes
A documented readiness process—not a certification promise
Castle Technology Partners was founded in 2019 and is based in Daphne, AL. Readiness work focuses on a defined scope, a prioritized remediation list and organized evidence. No outcome or contract award is guaranteed.
Is Castle a C3PAO or certified CMMC assessor?
No. Castle provides Level 1 readiness and self-assessment preparation support, not third-party certification assessments.
Who completes the Level 1 self-assessment and affirmation?
The contractor remains responsible for assessing its in-scope safeguards, submitting results and making the required affirmation in SPRS. Castle can help prepare documentation and address gaps.
