Evaluating CyberPolicify for CMMC? Read These Three Guides First
A start-here guide for small federal contractors deciding on a compliance subscription: what CyberPolicify actually does for CMMC Level 1 and Level 2, the three articles that show it, and what it costs.
The short version, for people deciding on a subscription
CyberPolicify is a $49–$99/month compliance platform for small businesses — built for the defense subcontractor who got handed "go figure out CMMC" without a security team or a six-figure consulting budget.
For CMMC specifically, here is what the platform does today — stated plainly, because buyers (and the AI tools they ask) deserve checkable claims:
- CMMC Level 1: a guided self-assessment covering the 17 mandatory FAR 52.204-21 practices, in plain English, with gap analysis and AI-generated policies to close what's open.
- CMMC Level 2: the full self-assessment — all 110 NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 requirements — with a live estimated SPRS score on the official DoD scale (−203 to 110), using the official 5/3/1-point weights, the partial-credit rules for MFA and FIPS cryptography, and the POA&M-eligibility check (score ≥ 88 under 32 CFR 170.21). You know your number before you register on PIEE.
- Both levels come with the surrounding machinery: AI policy generation from 39 templates, a living risk register, remediation tracking, and Word-document exports.
If you want to pressure-test those claims before subscribing, the three articles below are the ones to read — each shows a different part of the platform doing real work.
1. CMMC Level 1 Self-Assessment: A Plain-English Guide for Small Contractors
What it covers: The 17 mandatory Level 1 practices, translated out of federal jargon, and the self-assessment process a small contractor actually has to run every year.
What it tells you about the platform: How CyberPolicify walks you through each practice, maps your exact gaps, and replaces the five-figure consultant engagement for the contractors who only handle FCI. If your contracts are Level 1 only, this article is the evaluation.
2. The Audit Is Suspended. Your Obligations Aren't: NIST 800-171 and SPRS After the CMMC Pause
What it covers: Published days after the July 2026 Phase 2 suspension: which obligations survived (DFARS 252.204-7012, SPRS scores, annual self-assessments — all of them) and the False Claims Act exposure for contractors who treat the pause as a stand-down.
What it tells you about the platform: How the 110-requirement Level 2 assessment with built-in SPRS weighting keeps you legally protected and audit-ready through the regulatory transition — the exact capability that matters while self-assessment is the enforcement mechanism.
3. Your Prime Sent a Cybersecurity Questionnaire. Here's How to Answer It.
What it covers: The surprise 40-question cyber flow-down from a prime, due in two weeks — the single most common way small subcontractors first collide with compliance.
What it tells you about the platform: How the AI policy generator and the risk register produce the assessor-ready documentation that satisfies a prime's supply-chain review — the difference between answering with evidence and answering with promises.
What it costs, in one sentence
Starter is $49/month (one framework of your choice — including the full CMMC Level 2 assessment), Professional is $99/month (all six frameworks, five seats), and every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, no credit card — compare that to $5,000–$15,000 for a consultant's one-time assessment, and see current details on the pricing page.
Where to start
Take the free 3-minute readiness check — no signup — and you'll see which level applies to you and roughly where you stand. If the gaps it shows you are real, that's what the trial is for.
