Build and deploy a production-ready Trust Center for any company. Use this skill whenever someone asks to create a trust center, compliance portal, security page, or wants to publish their SOC 2/SOC 3/ISO 27001/HIPAA/compliance posture publicly. Also triggers when someone mentions gated document access for audit reports, NDA-based document sharing, or wants to replace paid trust center tools like Secureframe, Vanta, Drata, or SafeBase. Even if they just say "I need a place to share my SOC 2 with customers" — that's a trust center. Use this skill.

Picks up planning requirements that were implicit or in other Rev 2 families.
| Rev 3 | Title | Origin |
|---|---|---|
| 03.15.01 | Policy and Procedures | New — formerly NFO (XX-1 type) controls that were excluded from Rev 2 |
| 03.15.02 | System Security Plan | From Rev 2 3.12.4 — relocated from CA family |
| 03.15.03 | Rules of Behavior | New — system use rules for users |
| 03.15.04 | (Additional planning requirements) | New additions from 800-53B moderate baseline |
Practitioner note: SSP migration from 3.12.4 → 03.15.02 means Rev 3 assessors will look at the SSP as a planning artifact, not a security assessment artifact. SSP content requirements are retained and expanded.
Requirements for secure acquisition of systems, components, and services.
| Rev 3 | Title | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 03.16.01 | Security Engineering Principles for Development | Software/system development security |
| 03.16.02 | Unsupported System Components | EOL/unsupported software management |
| 03.16.03 | External System Services | Contracts/agreements with cloud/MSP providers — related to Rev 2 3.1.20 |
| 03.16.04 | (Additional SA requirements) | Acquisition documentation, security requirements in contracts |
Practitioner note: 03.16.03 is particularly relevant for clients using cloud providers — it requires verifying that service providers implement required controls. Formalizes what was implied in Rev 2 3.1.20.
| Rev 3 | Title | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 03.17.01 | Supply Chain Risk Management Plan | Develop and maintain SCRM plan |
| 03.17.02 | Acquisition Strategies, Tools, and Methods | Address supply chain risks during acquisition |
| 03.17.03 | Supplier Reviews | Assess suppliers/vendors providing system components |
Practitioner note: Entirely new for nonfederal contractors. CMMC 2.0 (Rev 2-based) has no SR family. When/if CMMC adopts Rev 3, SCRM becomes a new assessment domain — notable for clients with complex vendor ecosystems.

Rev 3 introduces ODPs — values that the organization (or contracting federal agency) must define. Once defined, they become assessable scope. Common categories:
Pre-adoption planning for clients:
If the contracting agency specifies ODP values via contract or policy, those govern. Otherwise the contractor defines its own.
As of 2026-05-17:
Forward planning:
When a Rev 3 finding references a specific control, map back to Rev 2 to understand CMMC impact:

Some clients have implemented Rev 3-style controls and believe they're covered. Rev 2 has specific requirements that Rev 3 softened with ODPs — for current CMMC assessments, the Rev 2 language governs:
Controls with 5+ assessment objectives drive the bulk of assessment effort and evidence burden:
| Control | Objectives | Key evidence focus |
|---|---|---|
| 3.4.7 | 15 | Port/protocol/service documentation (most objectives of any control) |
| 3.13.1 | 8 | Network boundary definition + monitoring/control/protection |
| 3.4.5 | 8 | Change control access restrictions (physical AND logical) |
| 3.12.4 | 8 | SSP completeness (boundary, environment, connections, update freq) |
| 3.6.1 | 7 | IRP covering all IR phases |
| 3.6.2 | 6 | Incident reporting chain (internal + external) |
| 3.1.1 | 6 | User/device/process inventory + access restrictions |
| 3.1.20 | 6 | External system agreements + connection controls |
| 3.3.1 | 6 | Audit log configuration + retention policy |
| 3.3.8 | 6 | Log protection controls |
| 3.4.1 | 6 | Baseline config + asset inventory |
| 3.13.2 | 6 | Secure architecture documentation |
| 3.14.1 | 6 | Flaw ID/report/correct with defined timeframes |
| 3.1.3 | 5 | Data flow diagrams + flow enforcement |
| 3.1.22 | 5 | Public web content review process |
When clients have partial implementations, these objectives are typically split across a POA&M (some Satisfied, some Other Than Satisfied — assuming the practice is POA&M-eligible per cmmc-expert §11):
[a]–[f] Satisfied (programs/functions); [g]–[o] (ports/protocols/services) on POA&M.[a]–[d] Satisfied (log creation/content); [e]–[f] (retention) on POA&M.[b]–[c] Satisfied (MFA on privileged); [d] (network MFA for non-privileged) on POA&M.[a]–[c] Satisfied (SSP exists); [d]–[h] (specific elements) on POA&M.[a]–[b] Satisfied (types defined); [c]–[d] (active monitoring) on POA&M.For POA&M eligibility rules, point weights, and the 180-day window, see cmmc-expert §10–§11.
