SPRS is the DoD’s centralized system for tracking contractor performance, including cybersecurity readiness. Before you can even schedule a CMMC assessment, you must submit your NIST SP 800-171 self-assessment score to SPRS. **Why SPRS Submission Matters** - Required for all DoD contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) - Validates your SSP and POA&M - Determines contract eligibility If your SPRS score is missing, outdated, or unsupported by documentation, you risk losing contracts—even if your technical environment is secure. **What Goes Into Your SPRS Score?** Your score is based on how many of the 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls you’ve implemented. Each missing control deducts points. You must also document: - A current System Security Plan (SSP) - A detailed Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) for any gaps **Common Mistakes We See** - Submitting scores without a valid SSP - Failing to update scores annually - Miscalculating control implementation **How Valeo Networks Helps** We guide you through: - Accurate score calculation - SSP and POA&M alignment - SPRS submission and renewal timelines Your SPRS score is your ticket to CMMC—don’t let it expire. 📧 Contact: Jim Gast – [jim@valeonetworks.com](mailto:jgast@valeonetworks.com)  - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) #### ![BusinessOwnerGuidetoM&A-1](https://blog.valeonetworks.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BusinessOwnerGuidetoM%26A-1.png?width=303&height=209&name=BusinessOwnerGuidetoM%26A-1.png) #### Download our eBook*THE ULTIMATE ROADMAP TO CMMC COMPLIANCE* by filling out the form below!
