What is ongoing compliance management?
Ongoing compliance management is the continuous work of keeping your CMMC certification valid after you earn it: quarterly control testing, continuous evidence collection, change management for new systems and staff, and monitoring of regulatory updates. Certification is a snapshot; ongoing management keeps the picture true until your next assessment.

The problem

Certification isn't forever

  • Controls slip as staff turnover happens
  • Evidence collection stops after initial assessment
  • System changes break compliance without anyone noticing
  • Regulatory updates require new controls you miss
  • Three years later, you're starting from scratch again

How it works

The rhythm that keeps you certified

  1. Step 01

    Protocol-driven assessment of new systems, personnel, or process changes for compliance impact.

  3. Step 03

    Evidence Management
