About
What CMMC Certification is
CMMC Certification is an independent quote-matching and education site for CMMC certification. We publish source-backed guides on levels, costs, timelines, and assessor selection, and we match contractors with accredited C3PAOs that perform CMMC assessments.
What we do
- Educate. Cost guides, checklists, timelines, and a cited pricing report — all with visible sources. Our methodology page documents exactly how we vet firms and label prices.
- Match. Our quote form connects you with C3PAOs that fit your level, size, locations, and timeline. The service is free to you.
What we don't do
- We are not a C3PAO and do not perform assessments or issue CMMC certifications.
- We don't sell certifications, "guaranteed" passes, or assessment shortcuts.
- We don't publish paid placement rankings disguised as editorial. Provider listings are presented by contractor-size fit with factual profiles.
- We don't invent statistics, reviews, or testimonials. Every number on this site has a source you can click.
How we make money
When you request quotes, matched C3PAOs may pay us a lead or referral fee. That never affects which firms we list or what our guides say — firms can't pay to change a profile or buy a recommendation.
