FutureFeed, a leading compliance platform for NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC, announced a partnership with Teramis to integrate fully automated Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) discovery into the FutureFeed Cyber-GRC platform. This collaboration aims to address the challenge of identifying CUI locations, a critical step in CMMC assessments, by replacing interviews and assumptions with data-driven evidence.
Teramis' tool automatically identifies CUI across file types that traditional solutions often miss, including AutoCAD drawings, PDFs, images, and scanned documents, with up to 99.99% accuracy. It continuously monitors for spillage outside defined boundaries, alerting contractors before minor leaks become reportable incidents. The technology 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."
The partnership embeds Teramis' discovery capabilities directly into the FutureFeed platform, enabling partners to offer new services and providing contractors with a continuously monitored, evidence-based CUI boundary that assessors can review. This integration is expected to streamline compliance efforts for defense contractors and enhance the reliability of CUI protection measures.
"The hardest part of protecting CUI is knowing where it lives. Manual scoping doesn't scale, and it doesn't hold up," said Brandon Sessions, President of Teramis. "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."
FutureFeed, with over 1,400 clients and 350+ partners across the Defense Industrial Base, delivers tools and workflows for achieving and sustaining CMMC compliance. Teramis provides automated CUI discovery and continuous monitoring for government agencies and defense contractors.
