Cav's Continuous Cyber Assurance Platform senses and proves your controls across all seven zero-trust pillars — turning a deployed security stack into a continuously authorized posture. Built for the FY2027 mandate. Engineered for cloud, on-premises, and air-gapped environments.
The Shift
The Department of War Zero Trust framework sets a hard bar: Target-level zero trust across every system by FY2027, proven continuously. Point-in-time authorization cannot keep pace with that mandate — or with adversaries operating at machine speed. The defender's edge is no longer a faster review. It is the elimination of the review window. Continuous assurance is the requirement. Cav delivers it.
Never trust, always verify. Measure continuously, not once a year.
The Approach
Cav is the assurance layer. It does not replace your enforcement tools — it proves they are working, together, against the framework.
Connect
01Cav connects to the tools you already run — identity, endpoint, network, cloud, SIEM, GRC, and ITSM — through open, two-way integrations and the Model Context Protocol. No rip-and-replace.
Map
02Evidence is mapped automatically to the zero-trust capabilities and the control catalogs behind them — the DoD ZT framework, NIST SP 800-53, CRI, and 100+ frameworks. Test once, comply many times.
Validate
03AI agents continuously test that controls are holding — MFA enforced, non-compliant devices denied, segmentation in place, logs flowing. When a control drifts, Cav flags it the moment it happens.
Prove
04Cav generates machine-readable evidence and the cATO artifacts an Authorizing Official needs — keeping you continuously authorized, not authorized on paper.
Coverage
Assurance across all seven pillars. Cav senses and makes sense of controls across the entire zero-trust model — and proves they hold as one program.
User
Identity, MFA, and least-privilege controls are enforced and continuously evidenced.
Device
Device inventory and compliance state are validated against policy in real time.
Network & Environment
Segmentation and data-flow controls are confirmed in place and holding.
Application & Workload
Inventory, secure-build, and resource-authorization controls are continuously tested.
Data
Tagging, rights management, and data-loss controls are mapped and monitored.
Visibility & Analytics
Logging, detection, and analytics coverage is verified end to end.
Automation & Orchestration
Automated response and policy-driven workflows are validated and audit-ready.
The Point
Every tool reports on itself. Cav proves the whole program meets the framework — and still does an hour later.
Open Architecture
Cav ingests evidence from your existing controls through two-way APIs and MCP — the same signals your policy decisions rely on.
ICAM, MFA, PKI
Identity & AccessPull entitlement, authentication, and privilege evidence from your identity providers.
EDR / XDR, UEM
Endpoint & DeviceValidate device compliance and posture against policy in real time.
NGFW, ZTNA, SDN
Network & SegmentationConfirm macro- and micro-segmentation and data-flow controls are in place.
CNAPP, Vulnerability Management
Cloud & WorkloadsIngest configuration, exposure, and workload-protection evidence across clouds.
SIEM, UEBA
Visibility & AnalyticsVerify logging and detection coverage end to end across the enterprise.
GRC, ITSM, Audit
GovernanceTranslate business-application evidence into mapped, traceable control state.
From ATO to cATO
Cav accelerates both ATO and continuous ATO — automated control mapping, real-time evidence ingestion, continuous monitoring, and AI-generated artifacts that streamline the most complex packages. Mapped to the DoD Zero Trust framework, NIST RMF, CRI, and more, with complete traceability.
