Between Assessments

Turn point-in-time readiness into a repeatable evidence rhythm

Gridex offered this until 2026-07-25. The description it carried at the time was: “How to keep CMMC evidence current with an objective ledger, evidence-specific cadences, change triggers, owner follow-up, provider evidence, and monthly review.”

01

One complete evidence map

02

Cadence based on the evidence and process

03

Event-driven review after operational changes

04

Documented requests, returns, and escalations

Current means representative of the environment

A recent file can be wrong after a system migration, and an older approved policy can remain accurate when nothing relevant changed. Evidence should be reviewed against the current people, systems, providers, processes, and assessment scope—not only its file date.

Build two clocks: cadence and change

Scheduled cadence catches recurring work. Change triggers catch evidence invalidated between scheduled reviews. Both clocks should feed the same ledger and owner queue.

  • Weekly or monthly records for processes claimed to run that often
  • Quarterly or annual reviews where the organization’s procedure establishes that cadence
  • Immediate review after personnel, provider, system, boundary, or policy changes
  • Assessment, POA&M, contract, and affirmation deadlines as hard milestones

Do not confuse alerts with completion

A GRC alert or calendar reminder identifies work. Evidence becomes current only after the responsible party produces the right item, incomplete returns are corrected, a qualified reviewer resolves questions, and the final source is recorded.

Concrete, client-owned operating records

Evidence cadence policy
Refresh calendar
Change-trigger workflow
Owner and provider queue
Monthly status and decision record
Responsibility boundary

Facts, not verdicts

Evidence maintenance supports the organization’s program but cannot make an unimplemented requirement true or replace qualified assessment judgment.

Questions buyers ask

Frequently asked questions

How often should evidence be refreshed?

Use the cadence of the process, the volatility of the fact, relevant changes, and assessment needs. DoD does not impose one universal refresh window for every evidence type.

Is annual review enough?

Annual review may be appropriate for some stable evidence. Recurring activities and operational changes require more frequent or event-driven proof.

Where Gridex is now

This is reference material, not an offer.

Gridex is a managed operations firm. Managed Voice Operations is the primary growth line and Managed Workflow Operations is the secondary line. There is no dashboard for anyone on the client side to run. The Voice Demo is in pilot as of 2026-08-11. Managed Voice is not yet operating for customers; demo calls are product tests, not customer production. No customer result or tested third-party integration is published. Managed Workflow Operations is the secondary line running today, and it is in validation.
