Continuous assurance / U.S. Defense Industrial Base

Prove your security.

ZaytonPiper connects CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 requirements to the implementation claims, assets, owners, records, evidence, findings, and remediation behind them. Make every security claim defensible.

Evidence

What proves it?

Defensibility Score0—100 / explainable

A security claim is only as durable as the ground record that supports it.

The gap

A green status is not the same as a defensible claim.

Typical record
“Implemented”
A policy says MFA is required. An SSP says MFA is implemented. A dashboard turns the requirement green.
Defensible record
“Supported”
The claim identifies where MFA applies, who owns it, how it operates, what proves it, and what contradicts it.
ZaytonPiper is built to close the distance between what an organization says it does and what it can prove it does.

The workflow

One operational record for the whole story.

From authoritative requirement to next action, every link stays visible and explainable.

01

Map the requirement

Identify the authoritative requirement and its applicability.

02

Write the claim

Capture the organization’s actual implementation statement.

03

Anchor the proof

Connect assets, owners, ground records, and supporting evidence.

04

Act on the gap

Turn missing, stale, or contradictory support into remediation.

The analysis

A score that explains itself.

The Defensibility Engine evaluates coverage, quality, freshness, consistency, documentation, ownership, and contradictions — then shows what is lowering the result and what to do next.

Defensibility Score

0—100

Not a percentage of controls marked complete. An explainable measure of how strongly your cybersecurity claims are substantiated.

Coverage you can point to

Connect each claim to the systems, identities, endpoints, networks, cloud services, and providers it actually covers.

Evidence with a pulse

Evaluate quality, relevance, provenance, freshness, and consistency instead of treating every attachment as equal.

Contradictions in the open

Surface what disagrees with the implementation statement, what is missing, and which action should happen next.

Built for the starting line

Start with CMMC. Build lasting assurance.

ZaytonPiper enters through the readiness work DIB teams already have to do, while preserving a broader operating model for continuous assurance.

CMMC readiness

Trace practices to claims, evidence, owners, gaps, and remediation.

NIST SP 800-171

Keep requirement-level implementation records connected to the environment.

DFARS + SPRS

Sustain the story behind the assessment instead of rebuilding it at deadline time.

Next action

Make your next security claim easier to defend.
