Free CMMC Level 1 self-assessment for small businesses
Answer simple questions about the 15 basic safeguarding requirements, see your gaps, and get a step-by-step plan to close them — in English or Spanish.
What it is
A guided tool to prepare for the CMMC Level 1 annual self-assessment (FAR 52.204-21, 32 CFR 170.15). It covers all 15 requirements and 59 assessment objectives with plain-language help and evidence examples.
What it is not
- Not a certification, and it gives no CMMC status.
- It does not submit anything to SPRS or any government system.
- It does not replace your annual self-assessment and affirmation by a senior official.
- It is not legal advice.
- It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the DoD, APEX Accelerators or the Cyber AB.
Who it is for
Small manufacturers, machine shops, suppliers and service companies in the defense and federal supply chain — especially owners without IT staff.
How it works
- Create a free account for your company.
- Answer one requirement at a time. Your progress is saved.
- Get your results: requirements met, gaps and a prioritized plan.
- Track tasks and evidence until you are ready for your affirmation. Ask Samatech for help only if you want it.
Your answers stay private
Your assessment describes your security weaknesses, so we treat it as confidential: it travels over encrypted connections, is kept separate from every other company inside the database, and is never shared without your permission. Samatech staff cannot see it unless your owner grants access.
