NIST SP 800171 and CMMC 20 Implementation Playbook for DoD Defense Contractors

64 professional files (6 PDFs + 58 Excel workbooks) | 349+ spreadsheet tabs | 2,730+ rows of structured content | 11 organised folders

CMMC 2.0 compliance is now a prerequisite for working on US Department of Defense contracts, and the assessment bar for Level 2 is high. Defence industrial base companies have to implement and evidence 110 NIST SP 800-171 practices, produce a System Security Plan, and sustain the programme across suppliers. Missing the mark means losing bids. Passing on the first attempt takes a structured, evidence-led approach.

WHAT YOU GET: A THREE-PHASE JOURNEY

Phase 1: Diagnose. Seven domain assessments (30 questions each, 210 total) score your maturity across Access Control, Identification and Authentication, Audit and Accountability, and related areas. You can complete the Quick Scan diagnostic in under an hour and know exactly where the biggest gaps and opportunities sit.

Phase 2: Set Goals. Five PM template workbooks with roadmaps, RACI matrices, milestone trackers, risk registers, and stakeholder communication plans. These lock in scope, timeline, and accountability before a single line of implementation work starts, which is consistently where programmes succeed or stall.

Phase 3: Implement. Nine operational runbooks and checklists covering incident response, compliance, and training. Every runbook is built to be followed by a working team, not read and filed. Pro tips, example rows, and common-mistake callouts give you the benefit of hard-won practitioner experience from the first day.
