Annual Self-Assessment
Also known as: Self-assessment cycle
The annual cycle by which a defense contractor reassesses its NIST SP 800-171 implementation, updates the SPRS score, and submits a senior official affirmation.
Annual self-assessment is the recurring cycle by which a defense contractor reassesses its implementation of NIST SP 800-171 requirements, updates its score in SPRS, and has a senior official affirm the score.
For contractors at CMMC Level 1, the annual self-assessment is the entire compliance cycle. For contractors at CMMC Level 2 with a triennial C3PAO certification, the annual self-assessment runs in the years between certifications.
The annual self-assessment is not a purely paperwork exercise. The senior official affirming the score is personally accountable.
