CMMC Level 1 Pricing

One Package. A Complete Path to Self-Affirmation.

CMMC Level 1 doesn't need an open-ended consulting engagement — it needs a structured assessment across all 59 objectives, room to remediate and reassess, and a report you can bring to management before your annual self-affirmation. That's the Watchtower CMMC Level 1 Readiness package.

Recommended Package

One Price. A Complete Readiness Cycle.

Most organizations don't get Level 1 right in a single pass — they assess, remediate, and check their work. The package is built around that real workflow, not a single snapshot.

Payment Plan Terms
  • The 12-Month Payment Plan is a fixed payment plan for the same package — not a cancel-anytime subscription.
  • Access to the Level 1 package begins when your first payment is completed.
  • The payment obligation continues for all 12 installments.
  • Three assessment runs and one Executive Readiness Report are included across the package term, on either payment option.
  • If a payment is missed, there is a 7-day grace period — assessment access is temporarily paused, existing records are preserved, and access is restored as soon as payment is corrected.
The Business Case

Getting 15 Requirements Wrong Still Costs Real Money

Level 1 has no C3PAO fee — but an inaccurate self-affirmation is still a false claim under the SPRS system, and consultants routinely charge for what amounts to a 15-item review because most spreadsheets don't track the 59 objectives underneath it correctly.

A structured tracker that scores requirements the same way the official guide does removes that ambiguity — at a fraction of what a one-off consulting review costs.

Common Questions

CMMC Level 1 Pricing Questions Answered

Does this include the SPRS submission itself?

No. Watchtower helps you organize and track your self-assessment and generates a readiness report to support your annual self-affirmation — but your organization submits that affirmation to SPRS directly. Watchtower does not submit it on your behalf.

Do I need a C3PAO for Level 1?

No. CMMC Level 1 is entirely self-assessed — there is no third-party or government assessor involved. That's specific to Level 1; Level 2 and Level 3 have different assessment requirements.

What happens after my three included assessment runs?

The package includes three full assessment runs — enough for most organizations to go from initial baseline, through a post-remediation check, to a final readiness review before self-affirmation — plus twelve months of access to your completed assessment records. If you need additional runs or access beyond twelve months, contact us about extending your package.

Can I pay monthly?

Yes. The CMMC Level 1 Readiness package is available for $795 paid in full or through 12 monthly payments of $79. The monthly option is a fixed payment plan for the same package, not a cancel-anytime subscription.

Do I lose access after my final payment?

The package includes twelve months of access beginning on the purchase date. Completing the payment plan does not extend the original twelve-month access term unless otherwise stated.

I need CMMC Level 2, not Level 1 — where do I go?

Level 2 (NIST SP 800-171, protecting CUI) is a different framework with different pricing — see CMMC Level 2 Pricing for Watchtower's Level 2 engagement models.
