Get organized before a contract officer asks

Start with your contract, not with a framework

Your cybersecurity obligations as a contractor or subcontractor come from the clauses in your specific contract and any flow-downs from your prime. The first step is to read those clauses and write down exactly what they require. Your contracting officer is the authoritative source for what applies to you.

What ComplianceAnvil helps you do

• Identify where federal or state contract information is stored, processed, and transmitted
• Restrict access to authorized personnel and maintain the list
• Document policies covering access, devices, media, physical security, and incident reporting
• Verify encryption, MFA, backup, and update practices
• Maintain an incident reporting process and know your contract's reporting timeline
• Assemble organized, dated evidence in one place

What ComplianceAnvil is not

We do not perform assessments, issue certifications, submit scores on your behalf, or determine whether you satisfy any specific contract clause, regulation, or certification program. Anyone who tells you a self-service tool can do that is selling you something you cannot rely on.
