CMMC 2.0 Timeline: What SMBs Should Do in Q4 2025

By Resilience Cyber Group • September 22, 2025

1) Confirm scope and system boundaries. Identify where Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) lives, who touches it, and which systems are in scope.

2) Baseline your SSP and SPRS score. Be precise about implemented controls vs. plans. Document compensating controls and timing in your POA&M.

3) Close high-risk, high-visibility gaps first. MFA everywhere, centralized logging, incident response drills, and hardened admin practices pay immediate dividends.

4) Stand up evidence workflows. Move to a steady monthly cadence (tickets, logs, screenshots, attestations) so audits are a byproduct of operations—no last-minute scrambles.

5) Line up your assessment path. If targeting Level 2, identify a C3PAO and align timelines with your remediation milestones.

Evidence Workflows that Scale

Ticketing + logging + attestations, run monthly, beat screenshot sprints every time. Start with a simple “evidence calendar” and automate where possible.

CMMC Policy Pack: What's Included & Why It Matters

By Resilience Cyber Group • September 22, 2025

Policies aren’t paperwork—they’re your foundation. Assessors look for alignment between what’s written and what’s practiced. A tailored policy pack ensures consistency, clarity, and coverage.

What’s inside?

• Access Control (AC) & Identification & Authentication (IA)
• Incident Response (IR) & Configuration Management (CM)
• Audit & Accountability (AU) & Risk Assessment (RA)
• Continuous Monitoring & System Security Planning (SSP)

Why it matters: Policies map to evidence. If your team references them and your systems reflect them, you’re building resilience—not just compliance.
