CMMC Level 1 Readiness Support
Your people have better things to do than spend hours researching requirements, chasing screenshots, organizing files, and rebuilding documentation. Sun Life Tech helps get the evidence work organized at a practical, predictable price—starting at $500—so your team can stay focused on the work that makes your business money.
CMMC stands for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. It is a U.S. Department of Defense program designed to strengthen protection of sensitive information throughout the defense supply chain.
Sun Life Tech provides readiness support only. We do not certify CMMC compliance, act as a C3PAO, provide legal opinions, or guarantee assessment outcomes.
What readiness means
A supportable self-assessment is not only about checking boxes. It depends on whether the safeguards are actually in place, whether the written policies match reality, and whether the evidence exists to support the answers.
Sun Life Tech helps businesses review common weak points such as shared logins, partial MFA, former employee access, endpoint coverage gaps, untested backups, missing written procedures, and thin evidence. The goal is plain-English clarity before a self-assessment or affirmation creates unnecessary risk.
Fit
This readiness review is designed for small manufacturers, machine shops, fabricators, and defense subcontractors that need practical clarity before a self-assessment is completed or affirmed.
Included
The review focuses on the practical areas that commonly create weak or unsupported CMMC Level 1 answers.
Readiness check
The readiness check helps separate businesses that may be close to a supportable position from businesses that still need gap review or urgent affirmation follow-up.
It reviews defense-work exposure, FCI handling, SPRS affirmation status, shared logins, MFA, former employee access, endpoint protection, backups, written policies, and evidence.
The value
Doing CMMC evidence work internally is not free. Every hour spent researching requirements, locating screenshots, naming files, documenting controls, and organizing evidence is an hour your team is not spending on production, customers, sales, or operations.
Enterprise-sized consulting engagements do not make sense for every small manufacturer. Sun Life Tech gives smaller organizations a practical way to get help without paying for an oversized engagement.
Estimate the direct labor cost of handling evidence work internally. This is only an illustration; actual time and costs vary by business.
That does not include management interruptions, research, rework, or the opportunity cost of pulling people away from production, sales, and operations.
Do the math
For example, 20 hours at a $50 loaded hourly cost is $1,000 in direct labor. Thirty hours is $1,500. Forty hours is $2,000—before management interruptions, research, rework, or opportunity cost. Your actual time and costs may be different.
Instead of making an owner, IT person, office manager, or operations employee figure everything out from scratch, start with the Evidence Builder at $500. If you want Sun Life Tech to do the heavy lifting, the done-for-you Binder & Evidence Package starts at $2,500.
Pricing
Start at $500 for guided evidence organization, add specialist review when you need it, or have Sun Life Tech do the heavy lifting with the $2,500+ package.
