IntelComp CMMC Review: Public Pricing, Real Fit, and What to Check Before You Buy

Somebody pitched you IntelComp — or you landed on its “free 90-day compliance software” offer — and now you want to know whether it’s the real deal before you build your CMMC program around it. Good instinct. So we did what a sales page can’t: we read IntelComp’s own pages, pulled its actual prices, found the disclaimers buried below the marketing, and checked the whole thing against the rules that govern CMMC.

IntelComp is a cloud-based compliance-management software platform with readiness and documentation support, built and operated by Consultare Inc. Group. Three things matter most up front, and they come straight from IntelComp’s own pages: by its published disclaimer it does not certify your company or guarantee any assessment outcome; its platform environment is not designed to store CUI; and its own regulatory disclaimer states the tool is intended to be used with qualified professionals — not to replace them. That makes it a documentation-and-readiness layer — useful for organized teams, insufficient on its own for teams that still need controls built, CUI hosted, or a certificate issued.

IntelComp at a Glance

A fast verdict you can act on. Details, pricing, and primary sources follow.

What Is IntelComp, and What Does It Actually Do for CMMC?

IntelComp is a compliance-management software platform — described on its own site as a “Compliance Management System” — paired with readiness and documentation support, all operated by Consultare Inc. Group. For CMMC specifically, it centers on documentation management (System Security Plans, policies, procedures), gap-identification templates, evidence collection and mapping, audit-prep dashboards, task tracking, and compliance reporting. In plain terms: it’s a place to organize your compliance program, with structured help getting your documentation into shape.

Three facts shape everything else on this page, and they’re easy to miss on the marketing pages.

It’s a multi-framework shop, not a CMMC pure-play. IntelComp’s platform and services span CMMC, NIST SP 800-171 and 800-171A, NIST SP 800-53, SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 9001, HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and even Food Defense. That breadth is fine — plenty of capable GRC tools cover many frameworks. But if your contract risk is CMMC, ask how deep the CMMC-specific bench really is versus the eleven other frameworks on the menu.

The services are delivered by Consultare Inc. Group, with IntelComp as the platform brand. IntelComp’s readiness pages describe the work as “powered by Consultare Inc Group” and delivered by “assessment-experienced readiness professionals.” Useful to know who you’d actually be contracting with.

It is explicitly designed to be used with credentialed professionals — not to replace them. Consultare’s own regulatory disclaimer states IntelComp “is intended to be used in conjunction with qualified cybersecurity and compliance professionals, including Registered Practitioners (RPs), Certified Assessors (CCAs), System Security Officers, compliance consultants, IT security specialists, or other qualified personnel.” That’s not boilerplate — it’s a meaningful scope boundary that the marketing page doesn’t foreground.

If you take one thing from this section: IntelComp is a documentation-and-readiness layer. Whether that’s exactly what you need — or only part of it — is the real question we’ll resolve below.

The IntelComp CMMC Buyer Verification Matrix

Here is our full, dated verification record — what we confirmed, what is only company-stated, and what we couldn’t confirm — so you can see exactly where the burden of proof still sits. Everything below was checked against IntelComp’s and Consultare’s live pages on June 11, 2026. “Company-stated” means it’s IntelComp’s own claim, which we report but did not independently audit.

Is IntelComp a C3PAO, RPO, or Cyber AB Marketplace Provider?

Not as a C3PAO or certification body — IntelComp says so itself — and we found no Cyber AB Marketplace listing for it as an RPO. Consultare’s disclaimer states that IntelComp does not act as a certification body, assessor, accreditation authority, or government entity, and that references to DoD, Cyber AB, NIST, and CMMC-AB “do not imply endorsement, approval, sponsorship, or affiliation.” That settles the C3PAO question. On the RPO question, we found no Cyber AB Marketplace listing for “IntelComp” or “Consultare Inc. Group” in our June 11, 2026 search, and IntelComp makes no RPO claim — but absence in a search isn’t proof, so confirm directly in the Marketplace before relying on any status.

This distinction is not pedantic. It decides who can legally do what for your company. Three roles to keep straight:

• A C3PAO (Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization) is the only kind of entity authorized to perform the official CMMC Level 2 certification assessment. C3PAOs are authorized by the Cyber AB and conduct assessments through credentialed CCPs and CCAs.
• An RPO (Registered Provider Organization) is a Cyber AB-authorized firm that provides advisory and pre-assessment services. RPOs are listed in the Cyber AB Marketplace and employ Registered Practitioners (RPs). Critically, an RPO does notperform certified assessments — it helps you prepare for one. So “we don’t assess or certify” does not, by itself, rule out RPO status; the Marketplace listing is what confirms it.
• A compliance-software or readiness vendorlike IntelComp is neither. It’s a tool and a support service. It may be perfectly good at what it does; it simply has no Cyber AB credential attached to it that we could verify.

Can You Put CUI in IntelComp?

No — IntelComp’s own FedRAMP statement says its operational environment is not designed to function as a repository or operating environment for CUI or other regulated government data, and that it runs on AWS Commercial Cloud. Use IntelComp to organize sanitized readiness documentation; keep your actual CUI, covered defense information, drawings, and export-controlled data inside your own compliant environment. This is one of the most important facts on this page, and almost no third-party page tells you.

IntelComp’s statement is explicit that organizations “remain responsible for protection and management of CUI or regulated information,” that sensitive information should be “managed within organization-controlled compliant environments,” and that documentation shared for readiness coordination should be “appropriately reviewed and sanitized where necessary.” Separately, IntelComp’s readiness-services page advertises optionalAWS GovCloud / Azure Government hosting and “FedRAMP-oriented” infrastructure. Both things can be true at once — and the gap between them is exactly where contractors get burned.

If you intend to put any CUI near the platform, treat it as a contract question, not a marketing question:

• Get, in writing, which environment you would actually be on — the standard AWS Commercial environment (not for CUI) or a specifically provisioned GovCloud/Azure Government tenant.
• Get the Customer Responsibility Matrix (CRM), which spells out what the provider secures versus what you must secure.
• Get evidence of FedRAMP Moderate authorization or documented equivalency, plus how cyber-incident reporting is handled.

Why this rigor? DFARS 252.204-7012 requires that any external cloud service used to store, process, or transmit covered defense information meet security requirements equivalent to the FedRAMP Moderate baseline and comply with incident-reporting obligations. A general readiness workspace running on commercial cloud does not clear that bar on its own. For most DIB contractors, actual CUI belongs in a purpose-built environment — a secure enclave, Microsoft GCC High or AWS GovCloud — and IntelComp can sit alongside that as the documentation layer, not as the place your sensitive data lives.

IntelComp Reviews: What Are Customers Actually Saying?

As of June 11, 2026, we could not find independent, third-party reviews, ratings, or named DIB customer case studies for IntelComp on the usual platforms or in defense-industry trade press. That doesn’t mean the service is bad — newer or smaller vendors often have thin public footprints. It does mean you can’t outsource your due diligence to a star rating, so you’ll need to generate the evidence yourself.

The antidote isn’t a testimonial; it’s specifics. Ask IntelComp for two or three DIB customers at your level you can call, and for any documented assessment outcomes they can share with permission. A confident, capable provider can produce references. If a vendor can’t, that’s information too.

We do notpublish star ratings or “reviewed by” credentials we can’t stand behind, and you won’t find fabricated testimonials on this page. This is a public-source profile, and we’d rather tell you what we couldn’t verify than dress up a number.

How Much Does IntelComp Cost for CMMC?

IntelComp publishes its pricing — which is genuinely useful — but the listed prices are not the total cost of becoming CMMC-ready. Platform access, readiness reviews, documentation toolkits, technical remediation, secure hosting, managed security, and the separate C3PAO assessment are different line items. Everything below was pulled directly from IntelComp’s live pricing pages on June 11, 2026; every figure is a company-stated estimate“subject to final scoping.”

1. Compliance-management platform (the software), billed monthly

Adding a framework runs roughly $150–$200/month depending on tier; API access and single sign-on are Premium add-ons. IntelComp also advertises a free 90-day trial of the compliance software.

2. Readiness review and gap-identification services (people + process)

Ongoing monthly readiness coordination, documentation preparation, and platform access are listed as separate “custom quote” add-ons.

3. Documentation development toolkits (templates)

Toolkit add-ons: custom SCORM training ($950/topic), white-label branding ($500), quarterly policy updates ($2,500/year), framework mapping ($1,500). Customization and delivery typically takes 6–9 months per IntelComp.

What this pricing does not answer

This is the part the price tables can’t tell you, and it’s where contractors get surprised:

• Whether your technical controls are actually implemented (templates describe controls; they don’t configure your firewall).
• Whether your CUI environment is correctly scoped — get this wrong and every other number changes.
• Where your CUI will be hosted — remember, not in IntelComp’s standard environment.
• Whether remediation (the hands-on fixing) is included — generally it is not.
• Whether a C3PAO assessment fee is included — it should not be, and you’ll budget that separately.
• Whether your SPRS score will actually move.

IntelComp’s published numbers are a real, useful piece of the cost — likely the documentation and readiness piece — not the whole CMMC program. The full program for a CUI-handling contractor frequently also includes managed IT/security or remediation, a compliant CUI environment, and a separate assessment, which can dwarf the documentation line. Price the whole stack before you commit to any one part of it.

What CMMC Requirements Does IntelComp Support — at Level 1, 2, and 3?

CMMC is governed by 32 CFR Part 170 (effective December 16, 2024) and made contractual through DFARS 252.204-7021 (effective November 10, 2025). Level 1 covers 15 basic safeguarding requirements for FCI; Level 2 maps to NIST SP 800-171 Revision 2’s 110 requirements across 14 control families; Level 3 layers on selected NIST SP 800-172 requirements assessed by the government. Whatever a vendor calls “CMMC readiness,” judge it against your required level, information type, and contract clause.

Where the program actually stands right now

The phased rollout began November 10, 2025, and we are currently in Phase 1. See our full CMMC phases guide.

• Phase 1 (Nov 10, 2025 – Nov 9, 2026): Applicable solicitations require Level 1 or Level 2 self-assessments. Some Level 2 certification requirements can appear at the program’s discretion.
• Phase 2 (begins Nov 10, 2026): DoD broadens use of Level 2 C3PAO certification requirements for applicable contracts. Where your contract calls for Level 2 certification, a self-assessment won’t satisfy it.
• Phase 3 (Nov 10, 2027): Broader Level 2 certification plus Level 3 DIBCAC assessments for high-priority programs.
• Phase 4 (Nov 10, 2028): Full implementation across applicable contracts.

The date to circle is Phase 2 on November 10, 2026. A Level 2 C3PAO assessment is something you schedule and prepare for over months, not weeks — and the assessor pool is finite.

How IntelComp maps to each level

Three accuracy points

• CMMC Level 2 currently maps to NIST SP 800-171 Revision 2, not Revision 3. 32 CFR Part 170 references Rev. 2. If you see a vendor citing Rev. 3 as the controlling CMMC standard today, that’s a flag.
• Level 3 is more than “some extra controls.” Under the CMMC Final Rule, Level 3 is built on the 110 NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 requirements plus 24 selected requirements from NIST SP 800-172, requires a Final Level 2 (C3PAO) status for the same scope first, and is assessed by DCMA DIBCAC — not by a commercial vendor or a readiness tool.
• A clean SSP and tidy evidence are necessary, not sufficient. The rule does not allow certain higher-weighted requirements to be parked on a POA&M, and where a conditional status is granted, you must generally close it within 180 days. Documentation that looks assessment-ready but sits on top of unimplemented controls is exactly what gets contractors a failed assessment.

What IntelComp can do before SPRS — and what you still have to do yourself

IntelComp can organize your readiness artifacts, but it cannot make your SPRS entry, generate your CMMC Unique Identifier (UID), or sign your annual affirmation for you. Under DFARS 252.204-7021 and the CMMC rules, the contractor must hold and maintain the required CMMC status for covered systems, provide CMMC UIDs to the contracting officer, enter applicable self-assessment results into SPRS, and have an affirming official complete the annual affirmation. Those are your legal responsibilities — a tool can prepare the inputs, but it cannot stand in your place.

Do You Actually Need IntelComp — or a Different Kind of Provider?

The most expensive CMMC mistake isn’t picking the wrong vendor — it’s picking the wrong category. IntelComp is software plus readiness support. If your real need is building the environment, running the security, or getting certified, that’s a different kind of provider entirely. Find yourself in the table below before you book anything.

Fast fit check by buyer type

The five categories, and what each is actually for

If you already have implementation muscle and you’re hunting for a system of record and a structured readiness pass, a tool like IntelComp can fit. If controls aren’t built, lead with an MSP/MSSP or enclave provider and add the documentation layer second. If you’re assessment-ready, your next call is an authorized C3PAO. If you’re weighing self-assessment versus third-party assessment, our guide on Level 2 self-assessment vs. C3PAO walks through which path your contract triggers.

How to Vet IntelComp Before You Sign: The Buyer Due-Diligence Checklist

Whatever vendor you choose, run these questions first. This checklist is built to surface the things that cost contractors money later — credentials, who actually delivers, where your CUI lives, and whether implementation is in scope. Take it into the sales call.

Status and who delivers the work

1. Are you listed in the Cyber AB Marketplace — under “IntelComp,” “Consultare Inc. Group,” or another legal name? Send the link.
2. Which named individuals hold current RP, RPA, CCP, or CCA credentials, and will they work on our account?
3. Who is the contracting entity, and is the delivery team named in the statement of work?
4. Do you use partners, affiliates, or white-label delivery — and is any referral fee or revenue share involved on our engagement?

Scope and deliverables

5. Is this software-only, services-only, or bundled — and exactly what’s excluded?
6. Does the engagement include technical implementation, or only readiness and documentation?
7. Are SSP and POA&M created for us, reviewed, or just provided as templates?
8. Are our evidence artifacts mapped to NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 assessment objectives (the 800-171A procedures)?

Data, hosting, and security

9. Will any CUI or covered defense information be stored, processed, or transmitted in the platform? (Per your own FedRAMP statement, the standard environment isn’t designed for that — so where exactly would ours live?)
10. If cloud services touch covered defense information, how do you meet DFARS 252.204-7012’s requirement for security equivalent to FedRAMP Moderate, plus incident-reporting obligations?
11. Is AWS GovCloud or Azure Government default, optional, or custom-quoted — and will you provide the Customer Responsibility Matrix in writing?
12. Can we export all documents and evidence if we leave (data ownership and exit)?

Outcomes and red flags

13. Provide two or three DIB customer references at our level we can call.
14. Do you “guarantee” certification? (If yes, treat it as a red flag — no one can.)
15. Does the statement of work clearly separate readiness support from any formal assessment?

A vendor that answers these crisply is one you can probably trust with the work. A vendor that gets vague on credentials, hosting, or what’s included just told you something important.

IntelComp Alternatives by Category

If IntelComp isn’t the right fit, shop by category — and verify any name against the Cyber AB Marketplace before you trust it. Here’s how to look, and we’ll match you to source-checked options whose role and status we’ve checked as of a given date.

• Need controls built and operated (GCC High, enclave, SIEM/EDR, MFA, monitoring)? Look at CMMC-focused MSPs/MSSPs and secure enclave providers. This is the most common real need for CUI-handling contractors who haven’t implemented yet — and it’s precisely what IntelComp doesn’t do.
• Need Cyber AB-listed advisory and gap work? Look at RPOs and CMMC consultants — confirm the listing in the Marketplace.
• Need the evidence/workflow layer?That’s the GRC-software category IntelComp sits in — treat it as a supporting layer, not the whole solution.
• Assessment-ready? Your next step is an authorized C3PAO — and keep readiness help and formal assessment appropriately separated.
• A prime flowing requirements down to subs? Start with our CMMC flow-down requirements guide; that obligation stays with you regardless of which tools your subs use.

How We Evaluated IntelComp: Our Methodology

This IntelComp CMMC review is an independent, public-source buyer profile from The Defense Compliance Report. It was built by reading IntelComp’s and Consultare Inc. Group’s live pages, pulling current pricing, searching the Cyber AB Marketplace and the open web for status and reviews, and grounding every regulatory statement in primary government sources. It is not a hands-on software test, a paid review, a customer-outcome study, or a Cyber AB status certification.

What we actually verified (June 11, 2026): IntelComp’s public service positioning; platform, readiness-service, and documentation-toolkit pricing; its FedRAMP statement that the environment is not designed to host CUI; its responsibility/limitation language; Consultare’s non-certification and non-affiliation disclaimer; and the controlling regulatory facts (32 CFR Part 170, NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2, NIST SP 800-172, and DFARS 252.204-7012/-7019/-7020/-7021) against primary sources.

What we could not verify from public sources, and you should confirm directly: IntelComp’s Cyber AB Marketplace or RPO status; credentials of the people who would deliver a given engagement; customer outcomes; whether every listed price is current; and independent audits behind the hosting and security claims.

Corrections policy:If IntelComp, Consultare Inc. Group, a Cyber AB-listed representative, or a reader identifies an inaccurate status, price, or service description, we’ll review the source evidence and update this page with a new “Last verified” date. See our editorial standards and corrections policy.

IntelComp CMMC Review: Frequently Asked Questions

Is IntelComp a C3PAO?

No. IntelComp is not a Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization, and Consultare’s own disclaimer states it does not act as an assessor or certification body. Only a C3PAO can perform the official CMMC Level 2 assessment, and you should verify your assessor’s status directly in the Cyber AB Marketplace.

Is IntelComp a Cyber AB RPO?

We found no Cyber AB Marketplace listing for IntelComp or Consultare Inc. Group as of June 11, 2026, and IntelComp makes no RPO claim. Because an RPO is an advisory role (not an assessor), “we don’t certify” doesn’t settle it — the Marketplace listing does. Confirm directly in the Marketplace before relying on any status.

Can I store CUI in IntelComp?

By IntelComp’s own FedRAMP statement, no — its operational environment is not designed to function as a repository or operating environment for CUI or regulated government data, and it runs on AWS Commercial Cloud. Keep CUI in your own compliant environment, and if you’d use any optional GovCloud/Azure Government hosting, get the specific environment, the Customer Responsibility Matrix, and FedRAMP Moderate authorization or equivalency evidence in writing first.

Is IntelComp CMMC software or consulting?

Both. IntelComp is primarily a compliance-management software platform, and Consultare Inc. Group offers readiness, documentation, and assessment-preparation support around it. The software organizes your compliance program; the services help you prepare.

How much does IntelComp cost for CMMC?

As of June 11, 2026, IntelComp’s public pages list platform plans from $325 to $995 per month (plus setup), readiness services from $3,500 to $22,000, and documentation toolkits from $6,800 to $25,950 — all company-stated estimates subject to scoping, with “Custom Quote” rows alongside. Those figures cover the documentation and readiness piece, not the full cost of becoming CMMC-ready.

Can IntelComp get my company CMMC certified?

No vendor can guarantee certification, and IntelComp’s disclaimer explicitly says it does not guarantee compliance, certification, or assessment outcomes. Certification decisions rest with authorized assessors and the government. Treat any “guaranteed certification” claim from any vendor as a red flag.

Does IntelComp replace a C3PAO?

No. A C3PAO performs the authorized assessment; readiness software and advisory support help you prepare for it. They are separate roles, and the rules favor keeping preparation and formal assessment appropriately independent.

Does IntelComp replace an MSP or MSSP?

Not based on its public positioning. IntelComp focuses on documentation, evidence, readiness, and reporting, and its own pages state that customers remain responsible for implementing technical safeguards. If your controls aren’t built and operated yet, you likely need an MSP/MSSP in addition.

Does IntelComp handle SPRS, the CMMC UID, and my annual affirmation?

No. IntelComp can organize the underlying readiness artifacts, but the contractor must enter results in SPRS, carry the CMMC Unique Identifier tied to its assessment, and have an affirming official complete the annual affirmation. Those obligations sit with you under DFARS 252.204-7021, not with a software vendor.

Is IntelComp enough for CMMC Level 2 on its own?

Possibly as the documentation and readiness layer, but not automatically as the full Level 2 solution. Level 2 depends on actually implementing the 110 NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 requirements, scoping and hosting CUI correctly, and the assessment type your contract requires — software organizes that work, it doesn’t perform it.

Does CMMC use NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 or Rev. 3?

CMMC Level 2 currently maps to NIST SP 800-171 Revision 2 under 32 CFR Part 170. If DoD amends the rule to adopt a later revision, that changes — but as of June 11, 2026, Rev. 2 controls.

What should I ask IntelComp before booking?

Ask for current scoped pricing, exactly what’s included and excluded, the delivery team’s credentials, Cyber AB Marketplace status, whether implementation is included, where your CUI would actually live, whether partners or affiliates deliver the work, and whether the engagement is readiness support or formal assessment. Our checklist above puts these in order.

Is this an independent IntelComp review?

Yes. This is an independent public-source profile by The Defense Compliance Report, an independent trade publication on CMMC 2.0 and DIB compliance. It is not a hands-on or paid review, and we have no disclosed compensation relationship with IntelComp as of this writing.

Your Next Move

You came to decide whether IntelComp is the right call. Here’s the honest synthesis: it’s a legitimate, unusually transparent documentation-and-readiness platform that’s a good fit for organized teams — and the wrong tool if you need controls implemented, CUI hosted, or a certificate issued. The cost is real but partial. Its Cyber AB status needs your own five-minute check. And the deadline that matters, Phase 2 on November 10, 2026, is closer than it feels.

You don’t have to figure out the category alone.
