For primes and integrators

Organize supply-chain CMMC readiness. Keep the record current.

Supplier readiness affects delivery and pursuit decisions. Deep Fathom gives supplier teams a structured way to organize requirements, assigned work, and evidence behind their representations.

Review supplier readiness See how it works

01/Reality

A flow-down requirement needs supplier work.

Your team is accountable for supplier requirements involving FCI or CUI. A flow-down communicates the requirement; each supplier must perform the work and maintain supporting evidence. Missing supplier work can delay the contract.

02/What changes

Give suppliers a clear readiness workflow.

Your team sets the requirement. Suppliers perform their assigned work and maintain their evidence. Deep Fathom keeps both sides working from the current record.

A guided supplier workflow

Flow-down states the requirement. Deep Fathom gives suppliers a guided way to organize readiness work and evidence, including smaller teams without a security function.

Readiness that doesn't decay

Assessments review a defined period. The operating record continues afterward, with reported changes and evidence gaps available for follow-up.

Requirements, mapped to reality

The required level depends on the FCI or CUI a supplier handles. Deep Fathom scopes each supplier to the obligation your program assigns.

Risk you can catch early

As suppliers complete assigned work, the record shows gaps while there is time to address them before award.

Deploy across the whole chain

Your supplier base can use one platform across programs and business units, with each team working from its scoped requirements.

Visibility with clear ownership

You can review the work and evidence suppliers share. Supplier responsibility and the authorized assessor's judgment remain with those parties.

Step 1 · Scope

Know what each supplier owes.

Deep Fathom maps which suppliers handle FCI or CUI, the level each one needs, and the deadline that applies, down through sub-tiers.

  • Identifies which suppliers are in scope
  • Sets the required level by data shared
  • Extends to sub-tier flow-down obligations

Step 2 · Deploy

Put structured readiness work in reach.

Every supplier can use a guided workflow for readiness work and supporting evidence, including smaller shops without a security team.

  • Guided from first step to assessment-ready
  • Built for suppliers without a security team
  • Same rigor whether large or small

Step 3 · Sustain

Keep supplier status current between assessments.

The platform tracks reported readiness status, supporting evidence, affirmations, and reassessment cycles so follow-up starts from the current record.

  • Surfaces reported readiness changes over time
  • Tracks affirmations and reassessment cycles
  • Evidence context for supplier follow-up

03/The Platform

Modules for supplier requirements, work, and evidence.

The platform complements supplier portals and keeps the readiness record connected. Independent assessors retain assessment authority.

01 Scoping

Onramp Kit

Set each supplier's audit boundary fast. Inheritance and system maps baseline the SSP from the first step.

02 Boundary

Boundary Advisor

Continuous boundary mapping across suppliers. Drift surfaces the moment it appears.

03 Collection

Outpost

The entry point you can point any supplier to. A multi-cloud evidence agent that meets them where they already run.

04 Capture

Scout

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

Continue the review

Use supplier assurance to make an operating decision.

Start with the delivery exposure in front of you, then see how one platform maintains the connected record behind it.

Review supplier readiness

Review the supplier-readiness decision before it becomes delivery risk.

Tell our team which program, flow-down requirement, or supplier decision you need to resolve. We will review the current assurance record and reply with the workflow that supports your delivery decision.

  • The program, contract, or supplier decision you need to resolve
  • What assurance you can see today and what still needs evidence
  • The representation or delivery outcome you need to support
