What does ComplianceArmor® actually deliver?
A complete documentation package, signed and ZIP-packaged, sized to your selected framework. The CMMC Level 2 package includes: System Security Plan (NIST SP 800-18 structure), 14 security policies, 14 operational procedures, SPRS score report, POA&M (official template), gap analysis, evidence checklist (organized by control family), responsibility matrix, CUI boundary documentation, continuous monitoring plan, control mapping matrix, interview prep guide, assessment readiness checklist, and executive summary. HIPAA adds 33 policy templates covering every safeguard category. Output is delivered as branded PDF, HTML, CSV, and ZIP, with editable native source for the policies. ComplianceArmor® also auto-generates the Power BI evidence package for CMMC Level 2 — including the Acceptable Use Policy, Data Classification Policy, BI Standard Operating Procedure, and the RBAC matrix that maps each NIST 800-171 r3 control to an artifact.
Which frameworks does ComplianceArmor® support today?
Eight: CMMC v2.0 (Levels 1, 2, and 3) including the NIST SP 800-171 r2 and r3 control set, NIST SP 800-172 r3 enhanced security requirements, SOC 2 (all five Trust Services Criteria), PCI DSS v4.0.1, HIPAA (Security Rule and Privacy Rule), NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0, FTC Safeguards Rule (16 CFR Part 314), and CCPA. ISO 27001:2022 Annex A is in active development with a Q3 2026 target.
How long does a ComplianceArmor® engagement take?
The documentation itself generates in minutes once scope is locked. Total engagement timelines depend on the framework: CMMC Level 1 in 21 days, HIPAA in 30 days, PCI DSS v4.0.1 in 45 days, SOC 2 Type I audit-ready in 45 days, and CMMC Level 2 audit-ready docs in 60-75 days. Compare to the 4-8 weeks of senior staff time a Vanta/Drata-style workspace still requires from your team, or the 12-24 weeks a boutique consultancy quotes.
Is the output actually assessor-ready, or is this another template library?
Assessor-ready. Every artifact is formatted to the structure DIBCAC and C3PAO assessors expect. The SSP follows NIST SP 800-18. The POA&M follows the official template. The control narratives use the language assessors are trained on. Petronella Technology Group, Inc. has four CMMC Registered Practitioners on staff who have been in the assessment room, and the platform was built around what those assessors actually ask for. A CMMC-RP reviews and signs off on every package before delivery.
Does ComplianceArmor® store our sensitive data?
No. ComplianceArmor® is security-first by architecture. Your scoping inputs produce your package, then the engagement-inputs.json is signed and lives in your repository — not a multi-tenant SaaS database. Your CUI, PHI, cardholder data, and customer data never sit on our servers. The package itself is generated and delivered to you in editable formats. For CUI in transit between Petronella Technology Group, Inc. and your team during the engagement, we use the Petronella encrypted data and email system.
Who owns the documents we receive?
You do, forever. No subscription gate. No DRM. No platform lock-in. The package ships in editable PDF, HTML, CSV, and ZIP, plus native source for the policies. Cancel any annual support arrangement and the documents stay yours, unaltered.
How is ComplianceArmor® different from Vanta, Drata, Hyperproof, Secureframe, or Apptega?
Those are self-serve SaaS workspaces. Your team still writes the SSP, the policies, the procedures, the POA&M, and the control narratives — the SaaS just hosts the templates and the evidence collection. ComplianceArmor® is a done-for-you engagement run by a Registered Provider Organization. Petronella Technology Group, Inc. writes the documents for you, scoped to your environment, reviewed by a CMMC Registered Practitioner, and assessor-formatted. You get an outcome, not a workspace.

What does a ComplianceArmor® engagement cost?
Every framework starts from a transparent base price: CMMC L1 from $6,997, HIPAA from $7,997, PCI DSS from $9,997, SOC 2 Type I from $14,997, CMMC L2 Tier 1 from $24,997. Larger or more complex scope is priced up using the published scope-adjustment table on this page (additional locations, employee bands, multi-CUI types, GCC High enclave, etc.) — all adjustments are disclosed before signature. Third-party assessment fees (C3PAO for CMMC, CPA for SOC 2, QSA for PCI DSS) are separate and paid directly to the assessor; we publish the typical range on the same pricing card. Payment terms are confirmed individually on the discovery call. No multi-year lock-in, no auto-renewal. Run the ROI calculator for a number specific to your scope.
Can a CMMC Registered Practitioner Organization perform the actual assessment?
No, and Petronella Technology Group, Inc. is careful to draw that line. An RPO (like us, #1449) delivers consulting and remediation services — scoping, documentation, gap analysis, evidence collection, and assessor handoff. The formal CMMC assessment that produces a Level 2 certification is performed by an accredited C3PAO. We work alongside the C3PAO of your choice, or we refer one from our network. The C3PAO fee is separate and paid directly to them; we publish the typical range up front.
Can we customize the generated documentation?
Yes. The package is already customized to your organization profile, system scope, and intake responses before you receive it. You also receive editable native source (Word, Markdown, JSON) for the policies and procedures — you can adjust language, branding, or organizational specifics at any point, including after the engagement is complete. The package is yours forever and can be regenerated against any future framework update at the same fixed-fee structure.
