Inherit 90% of Level 2. On day one.
CMMC Level 2 maps to all 110 controls of NIST SP 800-171 and, for most contracts, requires a third-party (C3PAO) assessment. Reach Networks collapses that mountain: operate inside Lifeline's pre-built Secure VDI enclave and inherit the overwhelming majority of controls from day one.
Why the inheritance model works
The hardest parts of Level 2 are the infrastructure controls — audit logging, boundary protection, encryption, physical security, incident response, and continuous monitoring. When your Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) lives inside Lifeline's NIST 800-171-aligned Secure Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), those controls are already implemented, documented, and operated for you.
That leaves roughly 10% of controls as your direct, organization-level responsibility — things like your acceptable-use policy, personnel training, and onboarding. We document those with you, so the full set of 110 is evidenced and defensible.
What's included
- Secure VDI boundary for CUI — compute and controlled data stay inside the enclave, never on local devices.
- SIEM & 24x7 SOC monitoring from day one, satisfying the audit and continuous-monitoring families.
- vCISO roadmap & audit preparation — a documented C3PAO pathway from kickoff through certification.
- EMP protection, DR site & backups engineered into the facility itself.
- Quarterly evidence reviews so your SPRS score and System Security Plan (SSP) stay current.
The path to certification
1 · Scope & gap
We map your CUI flows, define the assessment boundary, and baseline your current SPRS score.
2 · Migrate & inherit
Your controlled work moves into the Secure VDI enclave, inheriting the infrastructure controls immediately.
3 · Document
We build the SSP, POA&M, and evidence for all 110 controls — inherited and organizational.
4 · Assess
You enter the C3PAO assessment audit-ready, typically about six months from kickoff.
Your data deserves defense-grade.
We'll show you exactly which controls you'd inherit and which stay with your team.
