CMMC readiness, requirement by requirement.
Assessors will ask for evidence for every requirement. TruOps makes sure each one has a status, an owner, and proof.

CMMC readiness in TruOps means assessing each Level 1 or Level 2 requirement with pre-filled, cited answers, tracking every gap as a finding with an owner, plan, and date (the basis of a POA&M), monitoring technical requirements continuously, and organizing evidence for a self-assessment or C3PAO certification.
- Level 2 is on a timeline you can see
- Your SSP and POA&M would not survive an assessor
- Subcontractor flow-down is a contract clause without an assessment
The problem
CMMC turns self-attested NIST SP 800-171 compliance into a verified contract requirement, and assessors expect objective evidence for each requirement.
The actual challenge
CMMC is self-assessment and SPRS affirmation for most contracts while the Phase 2 C3PAO requirement is paused (since July 2026), and certification can return when the review concludes. A score in a worksheet without requirement-level evidence will not survive either path. TruOps does not file SPRS or replace a C3PAO.
- The SPRS number cannot be walked to 110 requirements.
- POA&Ms are a document, not findings with owners and dates.
- Primes cannot look up a sub’s SPRS status.
Bring one real document. Watch the program get set up from it.
What you are probably using today
CMMC prep is usually an 800-171 spreadsheet plus a consultant SSP.
| What you use now | Where it breaks | With TruOps |
|---|---|---|
| Spreadsheets, shared drives, and email | The program lives in folders named after last year's audit. Owners paste screenshots the week before fieldwork. Nothing is dated, so you cannot show what was true last quarter. | Upload those same files. TruOps pre-fills the assessment from them, cites every answer, and keeps technical checks running so evidence exists for the whole period. |
| A consultant-built binder | The program was true the week the engagement ended. Surveillance, a new framework, or an acquisition and it is stale. | The binder becomes a living program: recurring assessments that pre-fill, controls checked from your tools, findings that stay owned. |
| Auditor PBC lists and email threads | The same evidence request is rebuilt every year. Gaps appear in fieldwork that cannot be filled after the fact. | Evidence is collected on a cadence, timestamped, and linked to the requirement it supports. Auditors can be given a data room instead of a scavenger hunt. |
How it works in TruOps
- ScopeDefine the systems that handle FCI or CUI.
- AssessLevel 1 or Level 2 requirements, pre-filled and cited.
- Track gapsFindings with owners, plans, and dates.
- MonitorTechnical requirements checked continuously.
- PrepareEvidence organized for the assessor.
What you end up with
- A current status for every requirement.
- POA&M-ready gap tracking.
- Evidence organized by requirement.
If this is your situation
Bring the SSP or SPRS worksheet. TruOps will turn it into requirement-level status with cited evidence — and stay honest about what you still file.
How TruOps helps
- 800-171 mapped
- Your CMMC work also counts for NIST SP 800-171 and 800-53.
- Subcontractors
- Flow requirements down through vendor assessments.
Questions
Can TruOps get me CMMC certified?
TruOps prepares you; certification at Level 2 is performed by an authorized C3PAO.
Does TruOps file my SPRS score?
No. TruOps tracks requirement-level status and evidence so you can compute the DoD Assessment Methodology score. You still enter results in SPRS. C3PAO assessments are recorded in eMASS.
Do we have to rip out the tools we already use?
No. Connectors are read-only: they observe cloud, identity, endpoint, vulnerability, and code tools; they do not change them. Spreadsheets, prior reports, and policies upload into the Data Room. If you are on a SOC 2 automation tool or an enterprise GRC suite, you migrate the program (frameworks, evidence, vendors, risks), not the business.
Can we bring our existing assessments, control lists, and vendor files?
Yes. Upload workbooks, reports, policies, and vendor exports. TruOps turns them into structured questionnaires, controls, and register entries, each cited back to the file they came from, for you to review.
