Bounded Starting Offer

Turn scattered CMMC evidence into an owned 30-day operating rhythm

A bounded CMMC evidence sprint that establishes an objective-level ledger, owner map, first chase cycle, chase log, and executive evidence summary.

01

One agreed assessment scope and one accountable owner map

02

Every applicable objective marked on file, stale, missing, inherited, or awaiting decision

03

One complete chase cycle with timestamped asks, reminders, returns, and escalations

04

A practical decision on the recurring cadence after Day 30

Start with the evidence state, not a new platform

Most teams already have evidence in SharePoint, a GRC tool, ticketing systems, an enclave provider, email, or spreadsheets. The first problem is not storage. It is knowing which applicable objective is supported, where the support lives, who owns it, and whether the evidence still represents the current environment.

Gridex builds that operating picture inside the client’s existing boundary. The ledger points to source material rather than pulling CUI into Gridex systems.

Run the first chase cycle all the way through

A baseline that stops at “missing” is another assessment report. The sprint converts each open item into a precise request: the evidence needed, the person or provider responsible, the requested date, and the escalation path.

  • Requests are specific enough for HR, facilities, IT, procurement, or an MSP to answer.
  • Incomplete returns are sent back with the exact missing context.
  • Every contact and handoff is timestamped in the chase log.
  • Client leadership receives only the decisions and blocked items that require authority.

End with an operating decision

Day 30 is not a promise that every missing fact will be created. It is the point at which the organization can see the actual evidence surface, the response pattern of its owners and vendors, and the work required to maintain the record between assessments and annual affirmations.

Objective-level evidence ledger
Control-owner and provider map
Timestamped chase log

Responsibility boundary

Facts, not verdicts

Gridex records evidence state and operates follow-up. The client and its qualified advisor determine whether requirements are implemented and whether evidence is sufficient. Evidence artifacts remain inside client-controlled systems.

Questions buyers ask

Frequently asked questions

Is this a gap assessment?

No. A gap assessment judges readiness. The sprint establishes and operates the evidence record using factual statuses, while judgment remains with the client or qualified advisor.

Does Gridex receive CUI?

The operating design keeps evidence artifacts in client-controlled systems. Gridex uses the minimum metadata and access model needed to coordinate the work; the final architecture must be confirmed during intake.

What happens if an owner does not respond?

Gridex performs the agreed reminders and escalation steps and records them. The process is guaranteed; third-party cooperation is not.
