CyberComply L1 is the Level 1 subscription tier of Armada Cyber Defense’s enterprise GRC (Governance, Risk, & Compliance) SaaS platform, priced at $960/year (no monthly option). It builds directly on the free CyberGAP self-assessment by importing results into a full lifecycle management system for CMMC Level 1’s 17 FAR 52.204-21 practices (58 assessment objectives), ensuring ongoing compliance for Federal Contract Information (FCI).
What is the Purpose?
CyberComply L1 deliver’s a full-lifecycle GRC platform exclusively for CMMC Level 1 compliance, empowering small-to-mid Defense Industrial Base (DIB) contractors to achieve, document, and maintain safeguarding of Federal Contract Information (FCI) without needing in-house experts or costly consultants. Developed by Armada Cyber Defense, a team of Certified CMMC Professionals (CCPs) and Assessors (CCAs), it directly tackles real-world barriers like confusing NIST/FAR requirements, fragmented documentation, and generic tools unfit for DoD specifics.
Core Objectives
- Automate L1 Self-Attestation: Handles the 17 FAR 52.204-21 practices (mapped to 58 assessment objectives), ensuring 100% MET/NA status for annual SPRS affirmations via PIEE, no POA&Ms permitted.
- Seamless Progression from CyberGAP: Imports free CyberGAP gap results into a persistent workspace, turning one-time assessments into ongoing management.
- Build Defensible Posture: Generates compliant artifacts (SSP, policies, evidence repositories) that withstand C3PAO scrutiny, while providing implementation guidance for controls like access limits (AC.L1-3.1.1) or flaw remediation (SI.L1-3.14.2).
- Support DIB Ecosystem: Multi-tenant for MSPs/MSSPs (35% profit share); scales for consultants serving multiple clients.
Who It’s For and Why
CyberComply L1 is purpose-built for Defense Industrial Base (DIB) organizations that handle Federal Contract Information (FCI) and require a cost-effective, automated solution to achieve CMMC Level 1 compliance. It is especially well-suited for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), prime contractors, subcontractors, and service providers that may not have dedicated compliance resources, enabling them to meet essential cybersecurity hygiene standards with ease and efficiency.
Primary Users
- Prime Contractors: Direct DoD partners processing/storing/transmitting FCI; must self-attest annually in SPRS via PIEE to keep contracts.
- Subcontractors/Vendors: Flow-down recipients of FCI from primes; -63% of DIB estimated at L1 (hundreds of thousands of firms).
- Managed Service Providers (MSPs/MSSPs): Multi-tenant support with 35% profit share; manage client instances.
- Cloud Service Providers (CSPs): Those enabling FCI access/storage (non-COTS sellers exempt).
- Consultants/OSAs: Leverage for client work; collaboration features for teams/advisors.
Why They Need It
- Pain Relief: Addresses collaboration (team/external sharing), evidence overload, and audit prep that is built by CCPs/CCAs for real DIB workflows.
- Regulatory Mandate: DFARS 7012 requires L1 self-assessments for FCI contracts (effective Nov 2025+); non-compliance risks bid rejection or termination.
- Expertise Gap: SMBs often lack CMMC-savvy staff, tool provides preloaded controls, templates, SSP automation vs. manual spreadsheets.
- Efficiency for Basics: 17 practices are basic hygiene but tedious to document; CyberComply cuts weeks to days at $960/yr vs. $5K+ consultants.
- Growth Path: Post-L1, upgrade to L2 without rework; preserves evidence/tasks for CUI handling.
What are the benefits?
CyberComply L1 offers targeted benefits for CMMC Level 1 compliance, focusing on efficiency, accuracy, and cost savings for DIB contractors handling FCI. It preloads the exact 17 FAR 52.204-21 practices, automates documentation, and streamlines self-attestations to protect contracts.
- CyberComply L1 eliminates manual data entry errors by providing preloaded controls, saving hours on setup.
- It centralizes evidence and tasks in visual dashboards, ensuring accountability and progress tracking for remediation.
- Auto-generates compliant SSPs from your inputs, cutting creation time while allowing customization.
How It Fulfills the Purpose Step-by-Step
- Onboarding: Sign up post-CyberGAP; get containerized L1 instance with preloaded controls, policies, and SSP skeleton.
- Gap Closure: Interactive reassessment flags unmet items; assign tasks.
- Documentation: Upload evidence per control (logs, configs); auto-generates SSP sections.
- Management: Dashboards track status; role-based access (Super Admin, Viewer, Editor).
- Affirmation: Export SPRS-ready reports yearly; prorated credit to upgrade to L2.
- Sustainment: Back-office support (monitoring, provisioning); optional CCP consulting.
