Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about CMMC Level 1 readiness and our services
CMMC Basics
CMMC Level 1 is the foundational cybersecurity certification required for DoD contractors handling Federal Contract Information (FCI). It requires implementation of basic safeguarding practices and serves as the entry point for most defense industry subcontractors.
Any organization that handles Federal Contract Information (FCI) as part of a DoD contract or subcontract must achieve CMMC Level 1 certification. This includes prime contractors and subcontractors at all tiers.
Our Services
Most organizations can achieve CMMC Level 1 readiness within 90 days using our structured approach. Timeline depends on current security posture, organizational size, and complexity of systems. We provide realistic timelines during the initial assessment phase.
Our gap assessment includes comprehensive review of current security controls against NIST 800-171 requirements, evidence collection, vulnerability identification, and development of a detailed Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) with prioritized remediation steps.
No. Mojave prepares you for certification; accredited C3PAOs conduct the assessment. We are not a C3PAO or RPO. Our role is readiness and preparation—certification is performed by independent, accredited organizations.
