Is your organization CMMC-ready?
Secure your seat at the table. Explore how prepared your business is to meet rigorous Department of Defense security requirements and maintain your eligibility for federal contracts.
Why is this critical for your business?
Compliance is no longer a "future goal"—it is a prerequisite for doing business with the public sector. Whether you are navigating CMMC, FISMA, FedRAMP, or NIST standards, meeting these benchmarks is the difference between winning a contract and being disqualified.
Protect Your Contracts
Ensure you meet the latest DFARS and CMMC requirements to stay eligible for DoD awards.
Mitigate Risk
Identify vulnerabilities in how you handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
Build Authority
Demonstrate to federal agencies that your cybersecurity posture is mature and reliable.
Two tracksChoose where to start
Pick the track that fits where you are today. You can switch at any point, and our advisors can help on either.
- Track 1
Not sure where you stand?
Take the free readiness quiz. A few targeted questions give you an initial readiness score against Level 1 and Level 2 requirements and tell you which frameworks apply.
Take the free quiz - Track 2
Ready for a preliminary assessment?
Start the AI-guided self-assessment. Upload your evidence and get findings against all 320 Level 2 assessment objectives, plus a draft SSP and POA&M.
Start the self-assessment
Assess Your Compliance Posture
Evaluate your alignment with federal security frameworks with our "CMMC & NIST Readiness Quiz." This high-level diagnostic shows where you stand against CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 requirements and identifies the specific gaps between your current operations and audit-readiness.
By answering a few targeted questions, you will receive:
- An initial readiness score against CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 requirements.
- Clarity on which frameworks (NIST SP 800-171, FedRAMP, etc.) apply to you.
- Actionable next steps to prepare for a formal assessment.
Self-service platformThe Velero CMMC self-assessment platform
The platform is an AI-guided CMMC Level 2 self-assessment you run yourself, at your own pace, with your own team.
How it works
- Register and invite your team. Create an account at veleroapp.com and invite colleagues who own policies, systems and evidence.
- Work by domain. The platform organizes the assessment by the 14 CMMC domains, 110 practices and 320 assessment objectives.
- Upload evidence. Add PDF, DOCX, PNG or JPG files. Text is extracted automatically, including from screenshots and scans, and mapped to the relevant controls.
- Review AI findings. The AI evaluates your evidence against each assessment objective, the way an assessor does. It returns Met, Not Met or Partial, with a quoted rationale from your own evidence and a confidence score.
- Score and override. Scoring is one-fail-all-fail: a practice is Met only when every one of its objectives is Met. You can review and override any AI finding, and every override is recorded.
- Generate your documents. The platform produces a System Security Plan (SSP) as DOCX or PDF, and an AI-generated POA&M that covers every gap. If you already have an SSP, you can import it and the AI extracts its content.
Security of your evidence
- Multi-factor authentication and team invitations control who has access.
- Evidence is encrypted in transit and at rest.
- Evidence storage is tamper-evident and write-once, with file hashes.
- An immutable audit trail records every upload, analysis and override.
- AI processing is zero-retention. Your evidence is never used to train AI models.
What the platform does not do
The platform gives you a preliminary assessment. It does not replace a C3PAO assessment, and it does not submit anything to SPRS.
Important: do not upload CUI. The platform is not authorized to store CUI. Upload policies, procedures, configurations and redacted evidence instead.
