GUARDIANSHIELDCost Estimator
A quick, transparent starting estimate for a CMMC Level 2 assessment or a readiness and implementation project. Final pricing follows a short scoping call.
The estimator needs JavaScript. For an estimate, contact us or call 301-453-2983.
Your estimate
Includes one POA&M closeout assessment within the 180-day closeout window at no extra charge.
Optional monthly compliance support covers SSP/POA&M upkeep, SPRS/affirmation support and quarterly evidence review. Managed IT & security is a separate service, quoted by written estimate after a consultation. Monthly support starts after implementation is accepted. Monthly support for more than 300 CUI users is quoted separately.
Enclave pricing assumes CUI is limited to a small, defined boundary; see CMMC Enclave.
Pricing is based on GSA CALC+ labor rates for the roles involved and the estimated hours for each service.
Estimate only, not a quote or offer. Prices are in USD, before any taxes, and depend on a scoping review. Grants, subsidies and tax credits are not deducted.
Incentives you may qualify for
- Buy Maryland Cybersecurity tax credit. Guardianshield Cybersecurity, LLC is a Qualified Maryland Cybersecurity Seller, so eligible Maryland buyers may qualify for a Maryland income tax credit on eligible purchases. Credits are subject to state funding limits: the program is first-come, first-served and funds can run out. Credit amounts and limits are set by Maryland Commerce; check with your tax advisor.

- Free government contracting counseling. The Maryland APEX Accelerator offers no-cost counseling to Maryland businesses on government contracting, from finding opportunities to bid preparation and DoD cybersecurity requirements. The APEX Accelerator sets its own eligibility criteria. Maryland APEX Accelerator ↗
One question first
Answer the independence question above to see an assessment estimate.
Please use a different Authorized C3PAO
Independence rule: Guardianshield's C3PAO will not perform a CMMC Level 2 certification assessment for any organization to which we have provided consulting, implementation, or CMMC products (including SSP, POA&M, or remediation work) in the previous three years; those organizations must use a different, independent Authorized C3PAO from the Cyber AB Marketplace (32 CFR 170.8(b)(17)(ii)(G); Cyber AB R2002 C.4.1.8).
Because we have supported your organization, we can’t provide your certification assessment or an assessment price. Choose a different, independent Authorized C3PAO from the Cyber AB Marketplace.
Let’s scope this together
Organizations of this size need a short scoping call rather than an online estimate.
On the call we confirm your scope, then send a fixed-scope proposal.

If your business qualifies, you may be able to claim Maryland's BMC credit on eligible purchases. You may qualify; check with your tax advisor. The credit is not deducted from the price above.
- Buyer must have fewer than 50 employees in Maryland and file a Maryland income tax return.
- The seller must be a currently certified Qualified Maryland Cybersecurity Seller; each seller's buyers share a $200,000 annual cap, and statewide funding is limited (services: $1M per year), first come, first served.
- Maryland Commerce must approve the credit, for the tax year of purchase. Confirm seller cap availability with Maryland Commerce before you buy.
