CMMC Level 2 Compliance with Continuous Control Assurance
What CMMC Level 2 requires
CMMC Level 2 (Advanced) sets the practices a defense contractor must implement to protect Controlled Unclassified Information, aligned with NIST 800-171.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program is set out in 32 CFR part 170. Level 1 covers Federal Contract Information, Level 2 applies the 110 security requirements of NIST SP 800-171 Revision 2 to Controlled Unclassified Information, and each contract states whether Level 2 is met by a self-assessment or by an assessment from a certified third-party assessment organization (C3PAO).
How DigitalXForce covers CMMC Level 2
DigitalXForce maps each practice once across CMMC Level 1, Level 2 and NIST 800-171, and keeps the plans of action and milestones current.
Testing each control continuously against live evidence is Continuous Control Assurance (CCA), which uses evidence, monitoring and validation to determine whether controls continue to operate as expected. Each control is mapped once in the AI-Powered Risk Management and Automated GRC module and tested with C-Assess for compliance and X-Assess for security.
What is tested from live data and what still needs a person
Which controls DigitalXForce tests directly from live tool data depends on the tools you connect through X-Connect and E-Connect. Controls that rest on a document, such as a signed policy, are reviewed by AI JedAI against the requirement and kept with their evidence. The demo shows that split for your own stack.
The evidence the auditor receives
For each control, the auditor receives the test result, the evidence it read, the time it was read and the history of earlier results. A-Assess prepares the evidence and findings in the form auditors review.
Other frameworks the same controls report to
Because CMMC Level 2 is built on NIST SP 800-171, a control tested for it often also answers requirements in NIST CSF 2.0, FedRAMP and ISO/IEC 27001. DigitalXForce maps such a control once, so one test result reports to each framework it belongs to. The article on the common control framework explains the method.

DigitalXForce is not a certification, assessment or authorization body for CMMC. It tests and documents the controls the framework requires.
