Overview

The CMMC deadline satisfiit in November 2025. Is your business ready?If you're a defense contractor without CMMC certification, you can't bid on DoD contracts. No contracts means no revenue. No revenue means no business. It's that simple. Right now, thousands of small contractors are being told they need to spend $50,000 to $150,000 on consultants and wait 12-18 months for certification. That's wrong. CMMC Level 1 certification can be done in-house, in 3-6 months, for $5,000-$20,000. This book shows you exactly how-step by step, in plain English, without the government jargon. If you're panicking about CMMC, this is the book that makes it simple.
