The defense industrial base is currently facing its most significant transformation in decades. If you are a defense supplier, you already know the acronym: CMMC 2.0. You’ve heard the whispers, read the directives, and likely felt a rising sense of panic as the reality of CMMC Level 2 audits draws closer.
For many organizations, the prospect of a third-party assessment is daunting. The Department of Defense (DoD) isn’t just looking for a "good effort" anymore. They are looking for absolute compliance. The complexity of the requirements can feel like an insurmountable wall, but it doesn't have to be.
Planet Security Inc. is here to stop the panic. Our team of world-renowned experts has built the definitive solution for defense contractors: CPE Level 2. We don't just give you a template; we provide a turnkey, NIST-compliant infrastructure that handles the heavy lifting for you.
The Reality of the "110 and 320"
To understand why the panic exists, you have to look at the numbers. CMMC 2.0 Level 2 isn’t just a checklist: it is a rigorous examination of your entire security posture.
- 110 CMMC Requirements: These are the core practices derived from NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2. They cover everything from access control to incident response.
- 320 Assessment Objectives: This is where the real work happens. Every one of those 110 requirements is broken down into specific objectives that an auditor will verify.
If you fail even a single objective, your certification: and your ability to win DoD contracts: is at risk.
Why Most Organizations Are Panicking (And Why You Shouldn't)
The anxiety surrounding CMMC Level 2 usually stems from three main factors: Time, Complexity, and Cost.
- The Time Crunch: Most organizations spend 12 to 18 months trying to reach compliance on their own. In the defense world, that is time you don't have.
- The Complexity Gap: Managing a disparate set of tools (firewalls, SIEM, MFA, encryption) and making them all work together while maintaining "audit-ready" documentation is a full-time job for an entire IT department.
- The High Cost of Failure: A failed audit doesn't just mean a fine; it means the loss of your primary revenue source.
Planet Security Inc. eliminates these risks entirely. Our CPE Level 2 (Cybersecurity Protected Enclave) is designed to move your organization from "panic" to "ready" in a fraction of the time.
CPE Level 2: The Ultimate Defense Contractor Solution
We have changed the entire industry by moving away from "consultancy-only" models. Instead, we provide a NIST Compliant Infrastructure Server that acts as a secure enclave for your Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
With CPE Level 2, we provide 100% coverage of all Level 2 requirements.
What Sets Us Apart?
- 4-Week Deployment: While others talk about year-long roadmaps, we can have your enclave deployed and ready for audit in as little as 4 weeks.
- Expert-Led Remediation: Our team consists of world-renowned experts who understand the nuances of NIST/CMMC better than anyone. We handle the remediation for SP800-171 so you can focus on your business.
- AI-Obfuscated Data: Unlike big-tech solutions that feed your sensitive data into generic AI models, Planet Security utilizes AI-obfuscated data workflows. This ensures your intellectual property and CUI remain secure while still benefiting from modern AI-enabled security monitoring.
- Total Sovereignty: Our solution offers superior performance over cloud-based alternatives, with native file transfers and resilience against nation-state cyberattacks that would take a cloud provider offline.
Transparent, Predictable Pricing
We believe in a pragmatic, execution-driven approach. That includes being transparent about what it costs to secure your future.
- Standard Pricing: Our CPE Level 2 solution starts at $1,299/month for up to 20 users.
- Deployment Flexibility: We reward efficiency. While our standard deployment is highly accelerated, choosing an 8-week deployment instead of our lightning-fast 4-week deployment reduces your monthly pricing by $100/month.
There is simply not a more comprehensive offering in the industry. For a fraction of the cost of a single full-time security engineer, you get a world-class security operations center and a fully compliant infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can we just use a generic cloud provider like GCC High?
A: While GCC High is a component, it is not a complete solution. You still have to configure, manage, and secure it, which involves hundreds of manual steps. CPE Level 2 provides a localized, high-performance enclave that avoids the latency and shared-responsibility pitfalls of pure cloud plays.
Q: Do I need a POA&M (Plan of Action and Milestones)?
A: The goal of CPE Level 2 is to eliminate the need for a long-term POA&M by meeting all requirements upfront. We aim for a verified SPRS score of 110 immediately upon deployment.
Q: What happens if the requirements change?
A: Planet Security provides ongoing managed operations and maintenance. As CMMC evolves, our experts update your enclave to ensure you remain in constant compliance. There is no substitute for continuous monitoring.
Stop Guessing. Start Securing.
The era of "self-attestation" without verification is over. The audits are coming, and the companies that survive will be the ones that took a decisive, professional approach to their security.
You don't have to solve the 320 objectives on your own. You don't have to stay up at night wondering if your encryption is FIPS-validated or if your logs are being properly stored. Planet Security Inc. handles it all.
