CMMC Compliance Resource Hub
Supporting Your CMMC Level 2 Compliance Journey
CMMC auditors won’t ask you to explain your process, but to show your system can prove it. If the ERP where your CUI lives isn’t in a FedRAMP-equivalent environment, you’re non-compliant by default, regardless of everything else you have done right.
Don’t build a bank vault in your office. ProShop built it to federal standards. You just need to rent the safety deposit box.
Why CMMC Matters
What CMMC Level 2 Compliance Actually Means for Your Shop
CMMC isn’t a far-off concern. It’s already showing up in contracts, and it affects your ability to compete for the work you have today, not just tomorrow.
Impact on Existing & Future Contracts
Primes are asking suppliers for SPRS scores today — before 2026 deadlines. Proactively pursuing CMMC Level 2 helps win new work and keep what you already have.
Formal Audit by a Certified Assessor
Auditors want proof of your process. Level 2 requires a third-party C3PAO audit every three years. Each answer must be documented and systematic, not a well-intentioned explanation.
110 Specific Security Controls
Level 2 maps to all 110 controls in NIST SP 800-171. ProShop covers infrastructure-level controls within its defined boundary, so you’re not starting from zero.
Certification Takes 6–18 Months
Gap assessment, remediation, C3PAO scheduling — it all takes longer than most shops expect. The ones that start now will be certified when contract windows open.
Want to get a head start on preparing your CMMC Level 2 readiness journey? Our CMMC Starter Guide is purpose-built to help you take control of all 110 CMMC security controls.
Shared Responsibility
You Don’t Have to Solve CMMC Alone
CMMC compliance spans three layers — your shop, ProShop’s platform, and your hosting environment. Here’s who owns what, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Where ProShop Stands
We’re On This Journey Too
ProShop completed our System Security Plan and entered independent 3PAO assessment of our FedRAMP Moderate aligned environment in early 2026, targeting completion by end of June.
We’re not asking you to trust a roadmap, but to proactively begin your readiness journey alongside a platform that’s building the infrastructure to support it. When assessment completes, customers on our FedRAMP Secure tier will be able to store CUI in our environment with the documented, federal-grade proof their auditors require.
