Blade Validate

Automate CMMC compliance

KDM Analytics Blade Validate is a software tool that automates CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) pre-assessments and simplifies the path to CMMC L2 certification for Department of Defense (DoD) contractors.

Enter CMMC L2 audits prepared and compliant! Blade Validate transforms CMMC compliance from a complex hurdle into an efficient, repeatable process.

• Defense vendors of any size use it to secure their revenue streams
• RPOs use it to reduce their costs and support more clients

Automate creation of System Diagram and boundary definitions

Blade Validate allows a DoD contractor or RPO supporting contractors to capture company assets and Federal Contract Information (FCI)/ Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) data flows.

The system:

• Uses a structured process that enforces general guidelines and policies, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the critical system definition
• Creates the System Diagram with clear boundary definitions and direct links between the System Diagram and system assets and data flows
• Populates editable Microsoft Word and Excel templates for CMMC assessments

Automate essential CMMC compliance documentation

Leveraging built-in NIST SP 800-171 controls, Blade Validate automatically generates essential CMMC compliance documents, including:

• System security matrix, a worksheet which maps system nodes to 110 controls along with compliance/non-compliance and implementation details
• Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M), which is pre-populated and prioritized with non-compliant requirements and implementation details copied from the system matrix
• System Diagram and,
• System Security Plan (SSP), required for CMMC L2 certification

Reduce compliance time, cost, and effort by up to 80%

With Blade Validate, DoD contractors and RPO supporting contractors can:

• Create a validated System Diagram that includes detailed asset and data flow information linked to the diagram
• Automate tasks traditionally performed manually by cybersecurity professionals
• Make the CMMC process repeatable and traceable for accelerated yearly affirmation and recertifications
• Replace time-consuming and error-prone manual processes

Blade Validate is built on KDM Analytics’ award-winning, hardened digital risk assessment platform, Blade Suite. This established platform is proven for industrial-scale IT systems and was designed in collaboration leading aeronautical and military customers.
