Navigate CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 requirements with a deterministic compliance roadmap. FrameworkMapper maps your security stack against DoD supply chain requirements and prioritizes what to implement first.
Why This Matters
The DoD has made cybersecurity a contractual requirement across the entire defense supply chain.

Recommended Frameworks
FrameworkMapper supports all frameworks below, with CMMC-focused prioritization aligned to DoD contract requirements.
| Framework | Why It Applies | Status |
|---|---|---|
| CMMC Level 1 | Required for all contractors handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) — 17 practices | Mandatory (if handling FCI) |
| CMMC Level 2 | Required for contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) — 110 practices aligned with NIST 800-171 | Mandatory (if handling CUI) |
| NIST SP 800-171 | The technical foundation underlying CMMC Level 2 — DoD requires a System Security Plan | Required (CUI handlers) |
| NIST SP 800-53 | Required for certain federal systems and useful for contractors building toward higher assurance | Conditional |
| CIS Controls | Widely accepted as a practical implementation path to CMMC compliance | Strongly Recommended |
How FrameworkMapper Helps
Use the Coverage Aggregator to see how your existing security tools address CMMC practices. Instantly identify which practices are covered, partially covered, or unaddressed.
Launch AggregatorToolMapper filters specifically for CMMC-relevant controls. Filter by cost, analyst coverage, and implementation group to build a compliant tool stack within your budget.
Launch ToolMapperThe CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 assessments use regulatory criticality (0.30 weight) to ensure compliance-required controls are prioritized over optional enhancements.
View AssessmentsThe Universal Control Prioritization Algorithm uses seven factors, each weighted to reflect the contractual compliance demands of the Defense Industrial Base.
| Factor | Defense Weight | What This Means |
|---|---|---|
| T Threat Relevance | 0.15 | Nation-state threat landscape informs control priority |
| D Dependency Score | 0.15 | Foundational controls that enable others prioritized |
| E Effort-to-Value | 0.05 | Implementation effort is secondary to compliance completeness |
| B Blast Radius | 0.15 | Controls preventing CUI exposure weighted heavily |
| R Regulatory Criticality | 0.30 Highest | HIGHEST weight — CMMC compliance is contractually mandatory |
| C Coverage Breadth | 0.10 | Controls addressing multiple attack vectors |
| A Asset Exposure | 0.10 | Controls protecting CUI and contractor systems |
For the Defense Industrial Base, Regulatory Criticality carries the highest weight (0.30) — more than double any other factor. This reflects the contractual reality of CMMC: non-compliance means losing DoD contracts. The algorithm ensures that every control required by CMMC or NIST 800-171 is ranked above optional enhancements, giving contractors a clear, auditable path to certification.
