Evidence operations for defense contractors without a full-time compliance team

CMMC evidence operations for small and midsize defense contractors coordinating owners, MSPs, enclaves, vendors, and annual affirmation work.

See the 30-day sprint Discuss your evidence stage
01

Works around an existing MSP, enclave, RPO, vCISO, or GRC

02

Designed for teams where the owner, IT lead, or operations manager wears the CMMC hat

03

Keeps the evidence record client-owned

04

Escalates decisions instead of delegating them to AI

The obligation crosses the whole company

CMMC evidence does not live only in cybersecurity tools. Training records may sit with HR, visitor logs with facilities, supplier attestations with procurement, policy approval with leadership, and technical exports with an MSP or enclave provider. The evidence function fails when no one owns the cross-company logistics.

Use the providers you already paid for

Gridex does not ask a contractor to rebuild its enclave or replace its MSP. It turns their technical responsibilities into scheduled evidence outputs and coordinates those outputs with the organization’s own responsibilities.

  • Existing technical controls remain operated by the responsible IT or security provider.
  • The qualified advisor retains scope and sufficiency judgment.
  • Gridex maintains the evidence index, requests, status, cadence, and handoff record.
  • The company’s affirming official retains authority and signature responsibility.

Start from a live trigger

The best starting points are concrete: a prime questionnaire, a new CUI-bearing award, a scheduled assessment, a recent certification, a provider change, a merger, a new system, or a growing POA&M queue. Each creates a bounded evidence-operations scope.

Facts, not verdicts

Gridex is an evidence-operations provider, not a C3PAO, MSP, MSSP, or law firm. Security implementation, formal findings, and legal representations remain outside scope.

Questions buyers ask

Frequently asked questions

Do we need to be certified before using evidence operations?

No. The service can support pre-assessment baselining, post-readiness maintenance, post-certification upkeep, or a specific change event.

Can a small contractor do this with a spreadsheet?

A spreadsheet can be the record. The service exists to operate the requests, refreshes, returns, quality checks, escalations, and owner handoffs behind that record.
