Deep Fathom /Use Cases /Assessors

For C3PAOs and lead assessors

Assess clients with a more reviewable record.

When clients bring scoped boundaries, mapped controls, and traceable evidence, your expertise can stay focused on judgment rather than reconstruction.

01/Reality

Clear handoffs protect review time.

A reviewer needs scope, mapped objectives, and evidence with enough context to test it. Missing material extends the engagement while your team requests and reconstructs the record.

02/What changes

Verify the evidence. Apply your judgment.

Clients can bring evidence organized for review, so your team can test the record and apply independent judgment from the first session.

Structure for review

Source, date, owner, control and objective mapping, plus review status. Each artifact carries the context needed for review.

Objective-level mapping

Evidence ties to the 320 NIST 800-171A objectives you test against and retains the related control mapping.

Scope clarity

CUI boundaries, inherited controls, and customer responsibility are documented against 32 CFR 170.19 before review begins.

POA&M integrity

Implemented, planned, and pending work stays separated according to 170.21, with the status visible to the reviewer.

Evidence behind each claim

Each item separates the readiness claim from the artifact behind it, so you can check the source directly.

Your judgment stays yours

AI organizes and traces evidence. You retain the assessment determination, and every output remains human-reviewable.

Step 1 · Receive

A package you can actually open.

No folder dump. Boundaries align to 32 CFR 170.19, controls map to the 320 objectives, and artifacts sort into examine, interview, and test.

  • Boundaries verified to 170.19 upfront
  • Evidence mapped to the 320 objectives
  • Artifacts sorted by examine / interview / test

Step 2 · Verify

Evidence with receipts.

Tasks link to controls and evidence links to tasks, each with source, owner, date, and history. POA&Ms follow 170.21. You verify instead of chase.

  • Every artifact carries source, date, and owner
  • POA&Ms structured per 170.21
  • Full history behind each item

Step 3 · Hand off

Clean closeout.

Versioned SSPs, POA&Ms, and SPRS scores keep their mapping intact in a package organized for independent review. The assessor determines findings and any resulting outcome.

  • Versioned SSPs, POA&Ms, SPRS scores
  • Mapping and references intact
  • Package matches how findings issue

03/The Platform

Modules that prepare the handoff.

Clients use these modules to build a reviewable package. Assessment tooling and determinations remain with the assessor.

01 Scoping

Onramp Kit

Audit boundary baseline clients build from. Inheritance and system maps documented to 32 CFR § 170.19.

02 Boundary

Boundary Advisor

Continuous boundary mapping so what clients hand you matches what's implemented.

03 Collection

Outpost

The evidence agent that fills the package clients hand you. Multi-cloud collection with source traceability preserved.

04 Capture

Scout

Browser-side capture for the artifacts no API exposes, structured at the source.

Additional platform modules

Continue the review

Prepare evidence for independent assessment.

Deep Fathom helps clients prepare a reviewable record. The assessor retains the compliance determination and independent judgment.

Discuss evidence handoffs

Discuss a cleaner evidence handoff before review starts.

Tell our team which handoff, evidence pattern, or client-preparation issue is consuming review time. We will explain how the platform can prepare a reviewable record while your independent assessment authority remains intact.

  • The recurring client-preparation or evidence-handoff issue
  • What must be scoped, mapped, or traceable before review
  • Where independence and responsibility must remain explicit
