Automation

CMMC automation has split into two poles: a document generator that scored itself 44 out of 100, and continuous-monitoring tooling built for an assessment target that keeps moving. Which parts to buy, which to build, and which to defer.

The CMMC 2.0 final rule pairs a triennial assessment with an annual affirmation of continuous compliance and a standing continuous-monitoring control, but the GRC tooling market still runs on point-in-time checklists. Software-defined compliance and AI-driven observability are the bridge.
