FutureFeed, a leading compliance platform for NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC, has announced a partnership with Teramis, a provider of automated Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) discovery and continuous monitoring. Under the agreement, Teramis CUI discovery is embedded directly into the FutureFeed Cyber-GRC platform, offering partners new service offerings and giving contractors a continuously monitored, evidence-based CUI boundary that assessors can review.
Teramis replaces interviews and assumptions with data, automatically identifying CUI in file types other solutions often miss, including AutoCAD drawings, PDFs, images, and scanned documents. The tool also surfaces spillage outside the boundary before it becomes a reportable incident, with up to 99.99% accuracy. It 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 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."
This partnership is significant because it addresses a critical challenge in CMMC compliance: accurately identifying CUI across diverse file types. By automating discovery and continuous monitoring, the integrated solution reduces reliance on manual scoping and assumptions, which can lead to compliance gaps. The high accuracy rate and ability to detect spillage before incidents occur provide defense contractors with a more robust and defensible compliance posture. For assessors, the evidence-based approach offers greater confidence in the CUI boundary, streamlining the assessment process.
FutureFeed, with more than 1,400 clients and 350+ partners across the Defense Industrial Base, delivers tools and workflows for scalable CMMC compliance. Teramis, trusted by organizations supporting over $10 billion in defense programs, specializes in automated CUI discovery across file types that traditional data loss prevention tools miss.
