Question 1

What is CMMC 2.0 and why do defense contractors need it?

Accepted Answer

CMMC 2.0 (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is the Department of Defense's framework requiring all defense contractors to demonstrate cybersecurity compliance. Starting November 10, 2026, every DoD contract will require proof of CMMC certification. Small businesses handling CUI need CMMC Level 2, which covers all 110 NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 controls.

Question 2

What is an SPRS score and how is it calculated?

Accepted Answer

The Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) score ranges from -203 to +110 and measures your compliance with NIST SP 800-171 controls. Each of the 110 controls has a weighted value. A score of 110 means full compliance. DynamoDefense calculates and tracks your SPRS score in real time as you implement controls.

Question 3

Can DynamoDefense generate my System Security Plan (SSP)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. DynamoDefense uses AI to generate System Security Plans (SSP), Plans of Action & Milestones (POA&M), and Gap Analysis reports. These documents are formatted for C3PAO assessor review and can be exported as PDFs.

Question 4

How much does CMMC compliance cost for small businesses?

Accepted Answer

Traditional CMMC consulting costs $5,000-$25,000+ for an engagement, and C3PAO assessments run $30,000-$100,000+. DynamoDefense provides AI-powered compliance guidance starting at $299/month with a free trial — a fraction of consultant costs.
