Let's be real. If you're a defense supplier, you've probably spent way too many sleepless nights worrying about CMMC compliance. The requirements feel endless, the costs keep adding up, and the timeline? It always seems to stretch further than you planned.

Here's the good news: there's a better way.

CPE Level 2 (Cybersecurity Protected Enclave Level 2) from Planet Security Inc. is designed to take the pain out of CMMC compliance, and actually get you audit-ready in weeks, not months or years.

No more excuses. No more delays. Let's break down exactly why CPE Level 2 is the compliance fast track defense suppliers have been waiting for.

The CMMC Compliance Problem (And Why It's So Frustrating)

If you've looked into CMMC Level 2 requirements, you already know the numbers aren't small:

  • 110 security controls
  • 320 assessment objectives
  • 14 security domains

And that's just what you need to implement. You also need to document everything, maintain ongoing compliance, pass an assessment by a certified C3PAO, and keep it all running smoothly for three years until your next reassessment.

For small and medium-sized defense suppliers, this is a massive lift. Most don't have dedicated IT security teams. Many are juggling CMMC prep on top of everything else, running their business, fulfilling contracts, and keeping customers happy.

The result? Compliance projects drag on. Costs balloon. And the stress never seems to end.

What Is CPE Level 2? (And Why Should You Care?)

CPE Level 2 is Planet Security's turnkey compliance solution built specifically for organizations that need to meet CMMC 2.0 Level 2 requirements.

Think of it as your all-in-one compliance environment. Instead of piecing together dozens of tools, policies, and configurations yourself, CPE Level 2 delivers a pre-hardened, fully compliant enclave that covers every single CMMC Level 2 requirement and objective.

Here's what makes it different:

  • 100% coverage of all 110 CMMC Level 2 controls
  • Audit-ready in as little as 4 weeks
  • No POA&M tracking headaches
  • Over 900 CPE-specific cybersecurity hardening steps
  • Ongoing managed services and support included

This isn't about checking boxes. It's about real security that actually protects Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and keeps your organization ready for anything, including your C3PAO assessment.

The Real-World Benefits of CPE Level 2

Let's cut through the marketing speak and talk about what CPE Level 2 actually does for your business.

1. Less Stress, More Certainty

Trying to figure out CMMC compliance on your own is overwhelming. There are hundreds of decisions to make, and one wrong move can mean failing your assessment.

With CPE Level 2, the heavy lifting is done for you. Planet Security's experts have already engineered a solution that meets every requirement. You get certainty instead of guesswork.

2. Fast Setup (We're Talking Weeks, Not Years)

Traditional CMMC compliance projects can take 12-18 months, or longer. That's time you might not have if you're chasing DoD contracts or facing compliance deadlines.

CPE Level 2 gets you audit-ready in approximately 4 weeks. That's not a typo. Four weeks from kickoff to a verified SPRS score of 110.

3. Predictable, All-Inclusive Pricing

One of the biggest complaints about CMMC compliance? The surprise costs. New hardware, software licenses, consultant fees, remediation work, it adds up fast.

CPE Level 2 pricing starts at $1,099 monthly for up to 20 users. That includes:

  • Hardware
  • Licensing
  • Managed services
  • Integrated backup
  • Network segmentation
  • vCISO sessions
  • Audit support
  • Next business day service

No hidden fees. No surprise invoices. Just one predictable cost that covers everything you need.

4. Ongoing Support (You're Never On Your Own)

Passing your initial assessment is just the beginning. CMMC requires annual self-assessments and continuous compliance for three years until your next C3PAO evaluation.

CPE Level 2 includes ongoing managed services so you're never left wondering if you're still compliant. Planet Security monitors, maintains, and supports your enclave, giving you peace of mind year after year.

Why CPE Level 2 Beats the Alternatives

You might be thinking: "Can't I just use cloud services to handle this?"

Here's the reality: cloud-based solutions come with serious risks for organizations handling CUI.

The Cloud Problem

  • Outage risk: When your cloud provider goes down, so does your access to critical systems.
  • Data sovereignty concerns: Your CUI leaves your physical control and lives on someone else's servers.
  • Slower transfer speeds: Moving large files through the cloud can bottleneck your operations.
  • Insider threat exposure: More people have potential access to your sensitive data.

The CPE Level 2 Advantage

CPE Level 2 keeps your CUI inside your enclave, under your control, with integrated security management and resilience against global cyber-attacks.

Key advantages over cloud solutions:

  • Faster transfer speeds
  • No outage risk from external providers
  • CUI never leaves your enclave
  • Strong insider threat resistance
  • EMP-hardened options available
  • Robust confidentiality, integrity, and availability
