The Control Evidence Agent — Grounded GenAI for NIST 800-171 / CMMC
A grounded GenAI system for CMMC / NIST 800-171: a retrieval agent that drafts citation-checked assessment findings for all 320 objectives, a two-layer grounding gate that refuses any claim it can't trace to a source, and an eval harness that measures — per objective — where a language model's judgment holds and where it doesn't. Proven against a real deployed application: assessed on live AWS Config evidence, and a deliberate violation caught at four independent gates.
