Does Level 1 require a System Security Plan?
Level 1 doesn’t mandate an SSP the way Level 2 does, but documenting how you meet each requirement is the best evidence behind your affirmation, and it prepares you for Level 2 if your contracts grow.
Can NBT Systems submit our SPRS affirmation?
The affirmation must come from a senior official of your company. We prepare you for it, explain each SPRS field, and make sure your results are supported, but your official submits and affirms.
What if some requirements aren’t met yet?
The questionnaire flags them as blocking, and the remediation tracker lists what to fix. You shouldn’t affirm until every requirement is fully in place. Our guided build includes help closing those gaps.
Do we need to repeat this every year?
Yes. Level 1 self-assessments and affirmations are annual. Your progress file and documents make next year’s review much faster.
What information should we keep out of the questionnaire?
Describe your company, systems and practices, but never the contents of FCI or other contract data.
