DEFENSE / CMMC
Protect CUI and Accelerate CMMC Readiness
The defense industrial base has to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information across contractors, subs, and clouds. Lattix enforces NIST 800-171 controls on the data itself and produces the evidence assessors require.
Defense contractors must protect CUI under DFARS and demonstrate NIST 800-171 implementation to achieve CMMC certification. But CUI flows across primes, subcontractors, engineering tools, and commercial clouds — and most controls are implemented at the system level, where they are hard to enforce consistently and even harder to prove. Failed assessments, lost contracts, and the cost of remediation make the stakes existential for the DIB.
- CUI spreads across primes, subs, and cloud tools faster than system-level controls can cover it.
- Demonstrating NIST 800-171 implementation requires evidence that is scattered and manual to collect.
- Access control and media protection are difficult to enforce once data leaves a managed boundary.
- Spillage into uncontrolled systems is hard to detect and even harder to remediate.
- CMMC assessment failures delay or forfeit contract awards.
Mark and Bind CUI
Lattix classifies and wraps CUI in Zero Trust Data Format, binding handling policy directly to each object. Marking and dissemination controls travel with the data across primes, subcontractors, and cloud environments instead of depending on the system that happens to hold it.
Enforce 800-171 Access Controls
Attribute-based access control enforces the access, identification, and authentication families of NIST 800-171 on every request. Only authorized identities, on compliant devices, under the right conditions, can access CUI — and that holds whether the data is inside your enclave or shared downstream.
Produce Assessment-Ready Evidence
Every access decision and policy event is written to a tamper-evident ledger mapped to NIST 800-171 controls. Instead of assembling artifacts by hand before an assessment, you generate continuous, verifiable evidence of control implementation — directly supporting your SSP and CMMC posture.
Contain Spillage
Data-centric encryption and revocation limit the blast radius when CUI reaches an uncontrolled system.
Map to Control Families
Enforcement and audit align to NIST 800-171 access, audit, and media-protection requirements.
Continuous Evidence
Generate assessment-ready proof of control implementation instead of pre-audit fire drills.
Protect Shared CUI
Policy travels with data shared to subs and partners, with revocation that works after the handoff.
Strengthen Your SSP
Back System Security Plan claims with cryptographic evidence assessors can verify.
Deploy to the Edge
Enforcement runs from cloud to disconnected and air-gapped environments common in defense work.
Helps You Align With
Lattix provides the technical controls and audit capabilities to help your organization meet the requirements of these frameworks.

How does Lattix support CMMC compliance?
Lattix enforces the access, identification, audit, and media-protection requirements of NIST 800-171 — the basis of CMMC — at the data layer, and writes every decision to a tamper-evident ledger mapped to those controls. That produces continuous, assessment-ready evidence that strengthens your System Security Plan and CMMC posture.
Can Lattix protect CUI shared with subcontractors?
Yes. CUI is wrapped in Zero Trust Data Format so handling and dissemination policy travels with each object across primes, subs, and clouds. Access can be revoked centrally even after data has been shared downstream.
Does Lattix help with NIST 800-171 evidence collection?
Yes. Each access decision and policy event is logged to a tamper-evident ledger mapped to NIST 800-171 control families, replacing manual, pre-assessment artifact gathering with continuous verifiable evidence.
Can Lattix run in air-gapped or disconnected environments?
Yes. Enforcement is decentralized and can run from cloud to edge to fully air-gapped environments common in defense programs, with each node enforcing policy independently.
