Illustrative Artifact · Synthetic Data

Know which evidence needs review next and who must refresh it

Gridex offered this until 2026-07-25. The description it carried at the time was: “A synthetic CMMC evidence calendar that schedules review and refresh according to evidence type, process cadence, system changes, and assessment needs.”

01

Evidence-specific cadence instead of a blanket age rule

02

Event-driven triggers alongside fixed dates

03

Owner and provider workload visible by month

04

Assessment and annual-affirmation milestones included

Freshness follows the claim

An annual policy approval, a quarterly access review, a monthly log review, a training completion event, and a current configuration export prove different things. Their useful review periods therefore differ. The calendar starts from the process the organization says it performs.

Track changes that make the date irrelevant

A newly captured network diagram can become wrong tomorrow if the CUI boundary changes. The calendar must therefore include event triggers such as staff turnover, system migrations, new CUI flows, provider changes, policy changes, acquisitions, and new contract requirements.

  • Next scheduled review date
  • Change event that forces earlier review
  • Owner or provider responsible for refresh
  • Lead time needed to produce the evidence
  • Assessment, POA&M, and affirmation milestones

Use the calendar to level the workload

Evidence programs fail when every item is rediscovered immediately before assessment. A planned calendar distributes work, exposes impossible concentrations, and gives providers enough lead time to produce reports and attestations.

Facts, not verdicts

Review dates are operational policy, not legal advice or assessor guarantees. Qualified reviewers should approve cadences for the organization and evidence types involved.

Questions buyers ask

Frequently asked questions

Does CMMC require all evidence to be under 90 days old?

The DoD Level 2 guide does not establish one universal 90-day age limit for every evidence type. Recency should match the process, current environment, and assessment need.

What causes an early refresh?

Changes to people, systems, providers, policies, CUI flows, assessment scope, or the process represented by the evidence can trigger review before a scheduled date.
