WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, December 1, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Cactus Group announced the launch of ThornScan, a modern compliance platform that helps defense contractors, service providers, and prime contractors navigate CMMC and NIST 800-171 requirements with greater clarity and operational efficiency.— Justin Griffin
ThornScan replaces fragmented spreadsheets, disconnected tooling, and manual workflows with a unified workspace designed specifically for the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). The platform delivers real-time visibility into compliance status, centralized evidence management, automated documentation, and streamlined support for both Level 1 and Level 2 environments.
“ThornScan was born from decades spent across IT, cybersecurity, and DoD compliance, where I saw firsthand how disconnected tools and complex workflows slowed teams down,” said Justin Griffin, creator of ThornScan. “We built ThornScan to make compliance clear, understandable, and fully owned by the practitioners doing the work.”
ThornScan offers capabilities including real-time monitoring of control status, automated SSP and POA&M generation, multi-entity management for service providers, evidence linkage and validation, and Intune integration with full tenant data sovereignty. The platform is built to support organizations of all sizes within the DIB, from small contractors to large multi-client providers.
The launch of ThornScan reflects The Cactus Group’s commitment to simplifying complex requirements, reducing operational burden, and helping organizations maintain ongoing readiness through accessible, effective tools and support.
