FutureFeed, a leading compliance platform for NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC, has announced a partnership with Teramis to integrate fully automated Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) discovery and continuous monitoring into its Cyber-GRC platform. The collaboration aims to address a critical challenge in the CMMC ecosystem: accurately identifying where CUI resides within an organization's systems.
Under the agreement, Teramis' CUI discovery tool is embedded directly into FutureFeed's platform, giving partners new service offerings and providing contractors with a continuously monitored, evidence-based CUI boundary that assessors can review. Teramis replaces interviews and assumptions with data, automatically identifying CUI in file types that other solutions often miss, including AutoCAD drawings, PDFs, images, and scanned documents. The tool also surfaces spillage outside the boundary before it becomes a reportable incident, achieving up to 99.99% accuracy. It is already trusted by defense contractors supporting more than $10 billion in defense programs.
"Every CMMC engagement begins with the same question - where is the CUI? For too long the answer has come from interviews, assumptions, and hope, which is not a foundation anyone can defend in an assessment," said Mark Berman, CEO of FutureFeed. "Teramis replaces guesswork with evidence, automatically. That's the certainty our partners and the contractors they serve deserve."
Brandon Sessions, President of Teramis, echoed this sentiment: "The hardest part of protecting CUI is knowing where it lives. Manual scoping doesn't scale, and it doesn't hold up. Our tool finds CUI automatically, across the file types everyone else misses, and shows contractors exactly where their data is. Partnering with FutureFeed embeds CUI discovery directly into the Cyber-GRC platform - where it's reviewed by assessors and used by IT teams to continuously monitor for spillage."
For defense contractors, the ability to automatically discover and monitor CUI has significant implications. It reduces the risk of non-compliance with CMMC requirements, which can lead to loss of contracts or legal penalties. By providing continuous monitoring, the partnership helps contractors maintain compliance between assessments, reducing the burden of manual scoping and audits. Additionally, the evidence-based approach gives assessors confidence in the accuracy of the CUI boundary, streamlining the assessment process.
FutureFeed leads the Defense Industrial Base in achieving, maintaining, and proving scalable CMMC compliance, with more than 1,400 clients and 350+ partners across the DIB. Teramis provides fully automated CUI discovery and continuous monitoring for government agencies, defense contractors, and CMMC advisory firms. The partnership is expected to enhance the capabilities of both companies and provide a more robust solution for the CMMC ecosystem.
