Hey there! If you’re staring down the barrel of Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) and wondering how to keep your costs in check while still crossing the finish line on time, you’re not alone.
We get it – CMMC can feel like a budget-busting, time-sucking beast. But here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to be.
Let’s break down some no-nonsense ways to cut costs, speed things up, and how a tool like Paramify can make your life a whole lot easier.
First off, let’s tackle the big question: why does CMMC certification seem so pricey and drawn-out?
For most, it’s the combo of gap assessments, remediation, and all that documentation.
If you’re hiring consultants to do everything manually, you’re probably looking at thousands of dollars and weeks (or months) of back-and-forth.
Plus, if your cybersecurity posture isn’t close to the mark, remediation can pile on even more costs.
Here’s the deal: you can get CMMC-ready faster, for less. Here’s how:
An assessment can help you see where you stand, but you’ll overpay if you’re not careful.
There are free resources out there, like the CMMC Level 1 and 2 Assessment Guides, to give you a rough idea with a self-assessment.
Paramify also offers a gap assessment for just $2,000 that can show you your gaps in 30-60 minutes. This gap assessment becomes a living dashboard and roadmap to your compliance goals.
→ How you can make your CMMC process more efficient
Focus on the must-haves for your level (Level 1 has just 15 requirements, while Level 2 jumps to 110).
You don’t want to waste cash on fancy tools or spend time implementing controls you don’t need, so make sure you’re prioritizing the right requirements.
Efficiency tip: tackle documentation early.
A solid System Security Plan (SSP) and Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms) take forever and drain your budget if you’re doing them by hand, but that’s where smart shortcuts with Paramify make a huge difference.
Ever wish you could automate the tedious stuff and still get audit-ready docs?
That’s Paramify’s sweet spot.
Paramify auto-generates your SSP in a couple days, not weeks for a low annual fee. Compare that to paying thousands a year to tweak docs manually, and it’s a no-brainer. Plus, updates are a breeze – Paramify keeps everything current and you can make updates once that apply everywhere relevant.
Oh, and our gap assessment?
$2,000 is a steal compared to the $5,000 - $20,000 you might shell out elsewhere.
Pair that with your remediation plan, and you’re on the fast track to booking a C3PAO assessment without the usual headaches.
Top consultants – like 38 North and Steel Patriot Partners – use Paramify for their clients, so you’re in good company.
