The writing is permanently etched on the wall of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB): nearly 98% of organizations requiring CMMC Level 2 compliance remain uncertified. Months into enforcement, defense suppliers are discovering a brutal reality: relying on internal self-assessments and piecemeal IT fixes is a catastrophic dead end.
If your organization handles Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and you are banking on a self-reported score in SPRS (Supplier Performance Risk System) to keep you safe and contract-eligible, you are sitting on a ticking compliance time bomb.
At Planet Security, we are changing the entire industry by dismantling the myth of do-it-yourself compliance. There is simply not a more comprehensive offering than CPE Level 2.
The Illusion of Self-Assessment: Why 98% Are Failing
The Department of Defense’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework was designed to safeguard the supply chain against relentless nation-state cyberattacks. Yet, the overwhelming majority of contractors attempting to navigate this maze on their own are collapsing under the sheer weight of the regulations.

When contractors perform self-assessments, they frequently encounter fatal pitfalls:
- Catastrophic Scoping Errors: Failing to properly isolate CUI creates massive, expensive audit footprints.
- Shallow Documentation: Policies and System Security Plans (SSPs) exist only on paper and fail under rigorous evidence-based scrutiny.
- The Score Inflation Trap: Companies routinely self-score themselves 100+ points higher than their actual technical posture, resulting in immediate failure during independent C3PAO or DIBCAC audits.
Compliance is not a checkbox exercise; it is an unforgiving engineering standard. When you face 110 CMMC requirements and 320 objectives, hope is not a strategy. You need absolute certainty.
The True Cost of Building Compliance from Scratch
Attempting to build a NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 compliant environment internally drains internal IT resources, stalls core business operations, and burns through capital with zero guarantee of audit success.
- Endless Scope Creep: Every unmanaged endpoint, legacy server, and remote laptop introduces vulnerabilities that drag your SPRS score down.
- Operational Paralysis: Your internal team spends hundreds of hours chasing log files, hardening Active Directory, and writing remediation plans instead of executing your core defense contracts.
- The Audit Cliff: When a prime contractor or the DoD demands a certified C3PAO assessment, self-assessed companies face sudden stop-work orders.
Enter CPE Level 2: The Definitive, Turnkey Solution
Stop reinventing the wheel. Planet Security delivers the industry's most advanced, pragmatic, and execution-driven alternative: CPE Level 2.

Built on our hardened NIST Compliant Infrastructure Server, CPE Level 2 provides 100% coverage across all CMMC 2.0 Level 2 mandates. We deliver an impenetrable, pre-built secure enclave designed specifically to protect CUI without upending your entire corporate network.
What Makes CPE Level 2 Unrivaled?
- Turnkey Deployment: Achieve audit readiness in as little as 4 weeks.
- Automated Evidence Generation: Continuous monitoring and automated telemetry eliminate the burden of manual audit preparation.
- Zero POA&M Reliance: Engineered from day one to achieve verified compliance without leaning on endless Plans of Action & Milestones.
- Proprietary AI-Obfuscated Data: Unlike Big-Tech cloud solutions that expose your sensitive data or train public models on your proprietary information, our workflows utilize advanced AI-obfuscated data protocols to ensure absolute confidentiality. Generic AI tools cannot be trusted with client data: our sovereign architecture guarantees yours stays protected.
Transparent Investment & Rapid Deployment
We believe in radical clarity and uncompromising value. CPE Level 2 is priced transparently to deliver maximum return on security investment.
- Base Investment: $1,299/month for up to 20 users, providing full infrastructure, licensing, continuous monitoring, and SIEM management.
- Flexible Deployment Timelines: We offer rapid 4-week deployment tracks, or you can choose an 8-week deployment schedule which reduces pricing by $100/month, allowing your team to onboard at a pace that matches your operational tempo.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How does CPE Level 2 handle the 110 CMMC requirements?
A: CPE Level 2 comes pre-configured with over 900 hardening steps and technical controls mapped directly to all 110 CMMC requirements and 320 objectives. We handle access control, system hardening, encryption, and continuous monitoring out of the box.
Q: Why can't we just use standard cloud providers or general AI assistants?
A: Standard cloud platforms leave scoping, configuration, and evidence collection entirely up to you: leaving you vulnerable to the 98% failure rate. Furthermore, generic AI tools harvest and process data in ways that violate strict defense data privacy. Planet Security utilizes AI-obfuscated data to power intelligent monitoring while keeping your sensitive workloads completely insulated from public ecosystems.
Q: How quickly can we be up and running?
A: Our standard deployment takes just 4 weeks, with accelerated or flexible 8-week options available to suit your operational schedule.
