Platform
The product itself and what it does.
- Deep Fathom · Clear the path from capability to revenue Company overview of Mission-to-Market and how connected requirements, assigned work, review decisions, and evidence support government suppliers.
- Deep Fathom platform The product Deep Fathom sells today: an operational readiness system that connects source requirements, accountable owners, assigned work, review decisions, and evidence.
Solutions
Durable problem hubs that connect buyers to the existing Deep Fathom platform.
- CMMC readiness Review the applicable CMMC requirement, assign the work, connect the evidence, and keep the record current for the next contract or assessment.
- Evidence readiness Maintain an evidence record with a known source, scope, owner, and review date for recurring assessments, customer requests, and contract obligations.
- Contract obligations Record contract and customer requirements as assigned work with evidence that remains available through handoffs and review.
- Bid eligibility Review compliance requirements and evidence before committing proposal and engineering resources to a pursuit.
Decision guides
Concise, source-backed answers to durable questions behind the active platform-acquisition hubs.
- When is CMMC required for a defense contract? Review the applicable CMMC clause and the contract or subcontract requirement it supports.
- What is required for CMMC Level 2? Start with the level stated in the requirement, then scope the systems and evidence that support performance.
- What evidence can be reused across assessments and customer requests? Reuse evidence when its source, scope, owner, review date, and supporting claim are available to the next reviewer.
- How do you keep compliance evidence current? Give evidence an owner, a scope, a review schedule, and a visible connection to the work it supports.
- What security promises did sales just make? Find the representations, assign owners, and review whether the supporting evidence still matches each claim.
- Who owns contract obligations after award? The accountable owner depends on the requirement. The record should show that owner and the supporting evidence across functions.
- Does this solicitation require CMMC? Read the solicitation and attachments for the governing CMMC requirement. The incorporated requirement establishes the level, timing, and scope to review.
- Is CMMC required at proposal or award? The governing clause and solicitation language control the timing. Verify that timing for the specific requirement.
- Can I bid without CMMC? Start with the specific opportunity and whether its requirements apply to the planned performance scope.
