What is PolicyCortex? Contractor-side A&A.
PolicyCortex is the contractor-side A&A system of record for CMMC cloud compliance. Federal agencies have internal systems for authorization workflows; defense contractors are usually left stitching together CSPM, GRC, tickets, screenshots, and spreadsheets. PolicyCortex collapses that into one workflow: map controls, monitor cloud drift, fix gaps, and package assessor-ready evidence.
The moat isn't the AI. It's the execution-safety substrate underneath. Every cloud remediation handler ships matched captureState / restoreState pairs. The runtime refuses to execute any action whose rollback path is undefined.
That's why the lane is simple: GRC tools document the gap. CSPMs find the gap. PolicyCortex fixes the cloud gap and packages the evidence for the C3PAO handoff.

What is PolicyCortex?
PolicyCortex is the contractor-side A&A system of record for CMMC cloud compliance. It replaces disconnected CSPM, GRC, ticketing, and evidence workflows with one loop: map controls, monitor cloud drift, fix gaps, and package C3PAO-ready evidence.
Who uses PolicyCortex?
Defense contractors preparing for CMMC, national laboratories managing DOE ATO, federal agencies needing continuous monitoring, plus commercial enterprises with SOC 2 / PCI / ISO 27001 obligations.
How does it work?
Connect cloud account via API. Continuous monitoring against framework controls. Drift detected inside 5 seconds. Remediation proposed with AI confidence, gated for approval (or autonomous within policy), executed with rollback contract, logged with tamper-evident audit trail.
What's different from Vanta / Wiz / Drata?
GRC tools document the gap. CSPMs find the gap. PolicyCortex fixes the cloud gap and packages the evidence. The moat is the execution-safety substrate that lets autonomous remediation run in production without breaking it.
Connect a cloud. Watch it operate.
