Who This Documentation Is Designed For

Artifact Factory is built for organizations that must demonstrate real, operational alignment with CMMC Level 2 requirements, not just maintain documentation for appearance.

It is designed for defense contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) that handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and are preparing for a formal third-party assessment.

Whether you are a prime contractor flowing requirements down, or a small to mid-sized organization preparing for your first C3PAO assessment, the documentation framework is structured to scale to your environment.

Artifact Factory supports organizations that want a clear, assessor-ready starting point — one that reflects how security controls are actually implemented, operated, and evidenced over time.

Ideal Organization Profile

  • Defense Contractors & Subcontractors

    Organizations operating within or supporting the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) that handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and must demonstrate compliance with CMMC Level 2 requirements.

  • Organizations Preparing for a C3PAO Assessment

    Teams actively preparing for a formal third-party CMMC Level 2 assessment that need documentation aligned to assessor expectations, evidence workflows, and SSP traceability.

  • Small & Mid-Sized Defense Suppliers

    Growing contractors that lack the internal resources to build a full documentation framework from scratch but still require complete, operationally aligned compliance artifacts.

  • Teams Managing Controls Internally

    Organizations that implement and operate security controls in-house and need documentation that reflects real processes, not outsourced compliance or black-box solutions.

Strong Fit Scenarios

  • Preparing for a C3PAO Assessment

    Organizations entering the formal CMMC Level 2 assessment process need documentation that is consistent, traceable, and aligned to assessor expectations. Artifact Factory provides a structured documentation foundation designed to reduce confusion, rework, and last-minute preparation risk.

  • Responding to Contract Requirements

    Prime contractors and DoD contracts increasingly require proof of CMMC readiness. Artifact Factory helps subcontractors and suppliers rapidly establish documentation aligned to NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC Level 2 expectations.

  • Strengthening SPRS Score & Documentation

    Organizations working to improve their SPRS score or close documentation gaps benefit from a complete, assessor-aware framework. Artifact Factory supports structured documentation development tied directly to control implementation.

  • Scaling Internal Compliance Programs

    Teams building internal security and compliance programs often need documentation that scales with operational maturity. Artifact Factory provides a baseline framework that can be customized as controls evolve.

Who Artifact Factory Is NOT Designed For

Artifact Factory is built for organizations that want to take ownership of their CMMC Level 2 documentation and assessment preparation. It is not designed to replace implementation efforts or function as a fully managed compliance service.

This solution may not be the right fit for organizations that:

  • Are looking for a third party to implement and operate technical security controls on their behalf
  • Expect guaranteed certification outcomes without internal operational alignment
  • Need hands-on consulting, remediation execution, or system engineering support
  • Are seeking a fully outsourced compliance program or “done-for-you” assessment readiness model

Artifact Factory provides the structured documentation foundation required for real CMMC Level 2 assessments, but successful certification still depends on how controls are implemented, operated, and evidenced within your environment.

Organizations that benefit most from this framework are those prepared to align documentation with real operational practices, not those seeking documentation in isolation from implementation.

Implementation Expectations

Artifact Factory provides the structured documentation foundation required to support real CMMC Level 2 assessments, but successful implementation depends on how your organization operationalizes those controls within your environment.

After purchase, your team customizes the documentation to reflect your systems, users, data flows, and operational processes. This includes tailoring policies, procedures, plans, diagrams, and the System Security Plan (SSP) to accurately represent how security controls are implemented and maintained.

As controls are operated day-to-day, your organization uses the included templates, logs, and registers to generate evidence demonstrating that practices are not only defined, but actively performed and sustained over time.

Artifact Factory is designed to support your assessment preparation process, not replace it. You move at your own pace, retain ownership of your documentation, and align artifacts with real operational maturity rather than theoretical compliance.

Organizations that achieve the most value from this framework are those committed to aligning documentation with implemented security practices, ensuring consistency between written controls and real-world execution.
