Matters
Without meeting CMMC Level 1 requirements and completing the SPRS self-attestation, businesses handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) risk being deemed ineligible for DoD awards subject to DFARS 252.204-7024.
CMMC Level 1 isn’t just about checking boxes, it’s about protecting Federal Contract Information (FCI) through better data hygiene and access control. ProposalWin helps your team put these practices in place, not just document them, so you can confidently meet today’s DoD security expectations.
