CMMC Level 1
Get CMMC Level 1 compliant—fast, confidently, and without the guesswork
Thoropass gives you everything you need to meet Department of Defense (DoD) requirements for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 1 with ease—expert support, automation, and an end-to-end platform that makes compliance feel like progress, not paperwork.
The CMMC Level 1 challenge
CMMC Level 1 is the baseline requirement for any organization handling non-classified Federal Contract Information (FCI)—but meeting it can feel anything but basic. Manual documentation, scattered tools, and disconnected audit prep make it tough to know where you stand. Fast-moving businesses risk missed contract opportunities, delays, and compliance gaps that can slow growth and increase cyber risk.
The Thoropass CMMC advantage
Streamlined implementation with workflows, templates, and automation tailored to CMMC Level 1.
Get matched with a dedicated infosec expert and customer success manager to guide your journey.
Reuse existing evidence of meeting control requirements across frameworks like NIST 800-171 or SOC 2 to cut duplicate effort.
Stay ready year-round, not just during self-assessment season.

Frequently asked questions
CMMC Level 1 is the foundational tier of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification framework, focusing on basic cyber hygiene practices to protect Federal Contract Information (FCI). It’s required for organizations that handle FCI and want to bid on or maintain DoD contracts, even if you don’t handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
CMMC Level 1 requires implementing 17 foundational controls and allows for self-assessment, while higher levels (particularly Level 2) involve more rigorous controls (110+ practices) and require third-party assessment. Level 1 protects FCI only, while Level 2 and above protect CUI.
CMMC Level 1 doesn’t require certification. Our platform helps you implement the 17 required controls and to prepare for self-assessment. Our focus is on helping you build and document your CMMC level 1 readiness.
Yes, but our platform allows you to leverage your existing security controls. CMMC Level 1 controls often overlap with other frameworks, and our multi-framework architecture helps you identify these overlaps to reduce duplicate work and streamline implementation.
Most organizations can achieve CMMC Level 1 readiness in 4-8 weeks using our platform, depending on your current security posture. Our guided approach and expert support help accelerate the process compared to tackling compliance independently.
