AffirmReady was founded by an IT professional who spent years helping small manufacturers navigate technology, security, and compliance. We recognized a critical gap: good companies doing DoD work without IT departments faced an annual CMMC Level 1 requirement that seemed overwhelming. Expensive consultants weren't practical for a Level 1 requirement, and free checklists left owners uncertain if they'd done it correctly. We built a better solution.

Our guided, plain-English platform walks you through all 15 FAR 52.204-21 safeguarding requirements with how-to guides that explain each setting clearly and link to official vendor instructions. Your evidence stays secure in your own Microsoft 365, Google Drive, or file storage—we never hold a copy. Our evidence register keeps everything organized, tracks ownership and review dates, and carries your previous work forward each year so you review and confirm instead of starting over. We don't sell certifications or shortcuts; we give small defense suppliers a clear, repeatable way to get organized, stay ready, and protect the contracts they've worked hard to win.
