For Professionals
For RPOs, C3PAOs, and CMMC Consultants
IX never touches your client. Ever.
You are the expert. You run the engagement. You own the relationship. IX works behind the scenes — as your engine, not your replacement.
What IX Does for You
CMMC consulting is brutally document-heavy. 110 controls. SSPs that run 200+ pages. POA&Ms with hard deadlines. Evidence collection that never ends. Your expertise is in assessing environments and guiding clients through certification — not in wrestling with document templates at midnight.
IX handles the documentation layer so you can focus on what actually requires your judgment:
For RPOs and consultants: IX drafts SSPs, POA&Ms, policies, and gap analysis reports based on your client's specific environment. You review, refine, and deliver under your name. Your client sees your work. IX is invisible.
For C3PAOs and assessors: IX provides a structured knowledge base covering all 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls, the CMMC Final Rule (32 CFR Part 170), DFARS clauses, assessment procedures from 800-171A, and cross-framework mappings. Use IX CISO as a research companion during assessment prep — not as a substitute for your professional judgment.
How It Works
Step 1: You engage your client as you always do. Scoping, gap analysis, remediation planning — that's your domain.
Step 2: When you need documentation drafted, you bring IX into the loop. IX generates drafts grounded in the actual NIST 800-171 controls, tailored to your client's scope and environment.
Step 3: You review everything. You apply your professional judgment. You deliver to your client. IX never appears in the deliverable, never contacts your client, never knows who they are.
What IX Never Does
This matters. The CMMC ecosystem has strict separation between advisory (RPO) and assessment (C3PAO) roles. IX respects that architecture completely:
- IX never contacts your clients directly
- IX never appears on your deliverables
- IX never provides certification opinions or assessment findings
- IX never stores your client's CUI or sensitive assessment data
- IX never markets to your client base
You are not licensing a platform that will eventually compete with you. IX is infrastructure — like having a senior analyst on your team who drafts, researches, and never talks to anyone outside the room.
Why CMMC Professionals Need This Now
Phase 1 of the CMMC rollout started December 16, 2024. Primes are already pushing Level 2 requirements down their supply chains. The demand for qualified RPOs and C3PAOs is outpacing supply — there are fewer than 100 authorized C3PAOs for an ecosystem of 80,000+ defense contractors.
The bottleneck is not expertise. It's throughput. Every hour you spend formatting an SSP template is an hour you're not spending on the next client engagement. IX exists to break that bottleneck.
Try IX CISO
Ask it anything about CMMC. Test it against your own knowledge. It's grounded in the actual source material — NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 and Rev 3, 800-171A assessment procedures, 32 CFR Part 170, all four DFARS clauses, and more.
