CMMC Level 2 SSP & POA&M Buildout

Most organizations approach CMMC Level 2 with documentation that describes what they wish were true — not what is actually operating. ForgePoint builds SSPs and POA&Ms grounded in operational reality: what exists, what is missing, who owns it, and what the path forward looks like.

Who This Service Is For

Organizations that have completed a readiness assessment — or already know their gaps — and need structured, assessment-ready documentation.

Known or likely CUI environment with defined scope.
Completed CMMC Level 2 Readiness Assessment or equivalent.
Existing SSP that is incomplete, inaccurate, or template-only.
POA&M gaps that need structure, ownership, and remediation timelines.
Leadership requires audit-ready documentation before assessment.

The Problem This Solves

Most SSPs describe a desired state — not the actual operating environment. Template-filled documents fail assessments because they don't reflect reality

SSP filled from a template rather than the actual environment.
POA&M items with no owner, timeline, or remediation path.
Documentation that contradicts how controls actually operate.
Evidence gaps that can't support what the SSP claims.
No clear link between documentation, controls, and responsibility.

Questions Answered

This engagement answers the documentation and remediation questions that stand between your organization and a defensible CMMC posture.

Does our SSP accurately describe how controls are implemented?
Are POA&M items structured with owners, timelines, and risk context?
What evidence exists and what is still missing?
Which gaps are high-risk and need to be addressed before assessment?
Who owns each control — the contractor, the MSP, or a vendor?
Is the documentation package assessment-ready?
