AssessrLog Publishes a Free CMMC Level 1 Reference Center

CMMC Level 1 draws its 15 requirements from FAR 52.204-21 and measures them through the 59 assessment objectives in NIST SP 800-171A, across six domains. The source material is public, but it is written for assessors, not for the office manager or owner who often runs a small supplier's self-assessment. The reference center restates it in plain language, one page per requirement and one page per objective, without changing what it means.

The reference center covers the full Level 1 picture.

• A page for each of the 15 requirements, tied to its FAR source
• A page for each of the 59 assessment objectives, in plain English
• Short guides that answer the common questions, such as whether Level 1 is a certification, whether a C3PAO is involved, and how FCI differs from CUI
• A glossary of the core terms, including FCI, SPRS, the annual affirmation, and the affirming official
• A Level 1 checklist to see the whole scope at a glance

"The regulation is public, but it reads like it was written for auditors, because it was. We wanted a version a non-specialist could actually follow, one page per requirement and one page per objective, grounded in FAR 52.204-21 and NIST SP 800-171A, with nothing invented and nothing simplified into being wrong. Understanding what Level 1 asks of you should not be the expensive part." said Chris Burkhardt, cofounder and CTO of ProfytAI, the company behind AssessrLog.

The reference center is open now at the CMMC reference center. It is a companion to the AssessrLog platform, where a supplier runs and records the self-assessment itself.
