+Running CMMC Level 1 (17 practices) - Open Source
+
+⚠️  IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:
+═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+This scanner tests technical controls that can be automated.
+
+CMMC Level 1 requires 17 practices. Many controls require
+organizational documentation and policies that cannot be
+verified through automated scanning.
+
+A high automated check score does NOT mean you are CMMC
+compliant. This is a technical assessment tool, not a
+compliance certification.
+
+You still need to document policies, training, incident
+response procedures, and other organizational controls.
+═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+
+
+CMMC Level 1 scan complete: 17 controls tested
+
+🔓 UNLOCK CMMC LEVEL 2:
+  • 110 additional Level 2 practices for CUI
+  • Required for DoD contractors handling CUI
+  • Complete evidence collection guides
+  • November 10, 2025 deadline compliance
+
+Visit https://auditkit.io/pro for full CMMC Level 2
+
+Automated Check Score: 57.1% (4/7 passed)
+
+⚠️  IMPORTANT: Only 7 of 17 total controls are automated.
+   10 controls require manual documentation and evidence.
+   Use 'auditkit evidence' to track what you need to collect.
