Use Case — CMMC / Federal Contractors

Your CMMC clients now need verified
human authorization on AI decisions.

CrossProof them.

CMMC Level 2 requires documented human oversight and authorization of AI-assisted decisions touching controlled unclassified information. Most federal contractors have the AI. Almost none have the verified, timestamped proof that a real person or team authorized it. CrossProof closes that gap — across every client on your Partner Grid, simultaneously.

The Problem

CMMC requires documented human oversight of AI.
Most contractors can't produce it.

CMMC Level 2 maps to NIST SP 800-171, which requires organizations to document and enforce human oversight and authorization controls on systems touching controlled unclassified information. As AI tools become embedded in how federal contractors operate — processing requests, flagging anomalies, assisting with access decisions — the human authorization requirement doesn't disappear. It becomes harder to prove.

Your CMMC clients have the AI tools. The assessor will ask who authorized each one to operate, who verified it was operating within policy, and where the timestamped proof is. Most clients don't have a good answer. That gap is your opportunity — and your liability if you've told them they're ready.

CUI Protection
DoD Assessment Requirements
GAP 01
No Documented Human Authorization
AI tools are being used in CUI environments without a verified record showing a real person or team authorized each one to operate. The assessor will ask. The answer isn't there.
GAP 02
No Timestamped Evidence Chain
Self-reported logs and approval emails aren't independently generated proof. CMMC assessors want to see a verifiable evidence chain — not a story assembled from email threads.
GAP 03
MSP Liability at Assessment Time
If your CMMC client fails their assessment because AI authorization controls aren't documented, that failure reflects on the MSP that told them they were ready.
NIST 800-171 Controls — CrossProof Coverage

The controls that require human authorization.
CrossProof verifies all of them.

The following NIST 800-171 control families require documented human oversight and authorization of AI-assisted decisions. CrossProof generates verified, timestamped evidence of person-or-team authorization for each exchange — assessment-ready from the moment it happens.

Control Family Requirement CrossProof
AC — Access Control Human authorization required for AI-assisted access decisions on CUI systems Verified ✓
AU — Audit & Accountability Timestamped audit trail of who authorized AI actions and when Verified ✓
CM — Configuration Mgmt Documented human approval for AI tool configuration changes Verified ✓
IR — Incident Response Verified person or team notified and confirmed receipt of incident alerts Verified ✓
RA — Risk Assessment Human-verified posture scoring across the contractor network Verified ✓
CA — Security Assessment Evidence of ongoing human oversight — not point-in-time self-attestation Verified ✓
HOW IT WORKS
01
MSP activates governance for each contractor client
Your MSP acts as the hub for your federal contractor clients. CrossProof connects each contractor to your Partner Grid — no software installed at the client, no logins to manage.
02
AI authorization exchanges dispatched to the right person or team
When a contractor needs to authorize an AI tool, approve a configuration change, or confirm a policy decision, CrossProof dispatches the exchange to the designated person or team — and won't accept a response from anyone else.
03
Timestamped evidence sealed at the moment of authorization
Every authorization is written to a verified evidence record the moment it happens — not reconstructed before the assessment. The record shows who authorized it, when, and that they were the designated person or team.
04
Assessment-ready proof on demand
When the CMMC assessor asks, the evidence chain is already there — continuous, verified, timestamped. Your clients don't scramble. You don't explain gaps. The record speaks for itself.
MSP REVENUE OPPORTUNITY
New Service Line
CMMC AI Authorization Service
Offer federal contractor clients a continuous, verified AI authorization service — billed monthly, assessment-ready at any time.
Assessment Differentiation
Walk Into Assessments Ready
Be the MSP that brings verified evidence to every CMMC assessment — not the one explaining why the records don't exist.
Client Retention
Sticky Compliance Infrastructure
Clients who rely on your CrossProof-powered governance service don't leave easily — the evidence chain is tied to your MSP relationship.
When your CMMC client's assessor asks who authorized the AI — what does your evidence chain show?
If the answer involves pulling emails, you don't have an evidence chain. You have a search problem.
