Be Prepared to Secure Federal Contracts

Proud to be an Authorized C3PAO

Auditwerx is a fully Authorized C3PAO (Certified Third-Party Assessor Organization).

This designation signifies that we have met the rigorous requirements set by the Cyber AB and the DoD to conduct official CMMC assessments.

As an authorized assessor, we provide the formal certification required for Level 2 contractors, ensuring your organization meets the technical standards necessary to protect national security and maintain contract eligibility.

Why a Mock Assessment is Essential

In the current defense landscape, a failed formal assessment can result in significant delays, increased costs, and potential loss of contract eligibility. A mock assessment mitigates these risks by identifying potential points of failure in a controlled environment.

Evidence Validation

Zero-Risk Environment

Identifying a technical gap or documentation error during a mock assessment allows for remediation without the risk of an official non-compliance finding on your record.

The Auditwerx Advantage

Test Once, Report Many

Preparation for a CMMC certification is an intensive process, but the technical rigor involved often satisfies requirements for other frameworks like SOC 2® or NIST CSF.

Through our “Test Once, Report Many” methodology, we identify the technical controls verified during your mock assessment that also apply to your commercial security reports. By validating these shared controls one time, such as your encryption standards and identity management, we help you build a defensible security program that serves both your defense and commercial business units simultaneously.

Our High-Fidelity Simulation Process

We mirror the official CMMC assessment methodology to provide the most realistic preparation possible.

1. Mirroring the C3PAO Methodology

We follow the official CMMC Assessment Guide, utilizing the same "Examine, Interview, and Test" criteria that a formal assessor will use. This ensures your team is familiar with the cadence and expectations of the real review.

2. Deep-Dive Artifact Review

We perform a meticulous review of your technical evidence. We ensure that every requirement is backed by at least two forms of evidence, as typically required, to prove that a control is both implemented and persistent.

3. "Hot Seat" Interview Simulations

We conduct mock interviews with your System Administrators, HR personnel, and physical security leads. This helps your team understand how to answer technical questions accurately without inadvertently expanding the scope or creating confusion.

4. Readiness Scorecard

The engagement concludes with a comprehensive professional scorecard. We highlight exactly where your team excelled and where specific technical evidence needs to be strengthened before the formal C3PAO arrival.

CMMC Mock Assesment FAQ

When is the best time to schedule a Mock Assessment?

We recommend scheduling a mock assessment approximately 60 to 90 days before your planned formal review. This provides your team enough time to remediate any last-minute technical gaps identified during the simulation.

While no firm can guarantee a formal pass, our mock assessment is designed to significantly increase your probability of success by identifying the exact technical and procedural weaknesses that assessors typically target.

Anyone responsible for the technical configuration, policy creation, or physical security of the environment where Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is handled should participate in the interview simulations.
