You're Not Buying Reports.
You're Protecting Contract Revenue.
DoD contractors maintaining $1M–$10M+ in contracts already spend tens of thousands annually on consultants and compliance reviews. Watchtower delivers continuous CMMC readiness intelligence and audit-ready evidence — at a fraction of that cost.
Watchtower is AI-powered CMMC readiness intelligence and evidence monitoring — not a log scanning tool. Every engagement produces audit-ready evidence, executive risk briefings, and a measurable readiness posture your leadership can act on.
Three Ways to Engage
Whether you need a one-time readiness snapshot or ongoing compliance operations, KnightHawk has an engagement model built for your contract stage.
A structured evidence review of your current log environment. Understand where you stand before engaging a C3PAO — and before committing to months of remediation work you may not need.

Your CMMC Gap Is a Contract Risk, Not Just a Compliance Gap
The C3PAO formal assessment runs approximately $50,000. Every evidence gap discovered by an auditor — gaps Watchtower would have surfaced months earlier — represents both audit rework cost and potential contract jeopardization.
Our Executive Briefing quantifies this directly: C3PAO audit gap risk (based on your NIST evidence coverage), DoD contract risk exposure (risk-adjusted against your contract value), and compliance savings against consultant labor rates — all in a single board-ready document.
This is executive risk intelligence. Not log analysis.

Every Engagement Produces Audit-Ready Evidence
CMMC Readiness & Evidence Report
Structured evidence documentation aligned to NIST 800-171 controls — risk score, readiness score, domain coverage, key findings with business impact, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and SSP-ready policy evidence.
CMMC Executive Briefing
Board-ready risk intelligence. Aggregates readiness data across reporting periods. Quantifies C3PAO audit gap risk, DoD contract risk exposure, and compliance savings — in plain English for leadership and general counsel.
NIST 800-171 Coverage Analysis
Visual evidence coverage across 8 NIST control domains. Identifies your strongest controls and your highest-risk evidence gaps — so you know exactly where to focus before an assessor arrives.
Multi-Source Correlation
Upload up to 4 log sources simultaneously. Watchtower correlates events across network, authentication, endpoint, and system logs — producing a more complete evidence picture than any single source provides.
Leadership Action Roadmap
A prioritized three-phase action plan — Immediate, Short-Term, and Long-Term — mapped to actual findings in your environment. Leadership knows what to do next and why it matters for certification readiness.
Readiness Trend Tracking
Continuous monitoring tracks your risk and readiness scores across time. Demonstrate to leadership — and eventually to assessors — that your compliance posture is improving, not static.
CMMC Engagement Questions Answered
Does Watchtower replace a formal C3PAO assessment?
No. Watchtower is a readiness intelligence and evidence monitoring platform, not a certification service. Formal CMMC Level 2 certification requires evaluation by an authorized C3PAO. Watchtower prepares you for that assessment — surfacing evidence gaps early, tracking your readiness posture over time, and equipping leadership with the risk intelligence needed to make informed decisions about their certification path.
What is the difference between Phase 1 and Phase 2?
Phase 1 is a one-time engagement — a structured readiness snapshot that tells you where you stand today. Phase 2 is an annual subscription that includes the initial readiness assessment and replaces recurring manual review cycles with a full year of continuous evidence documentation, monthly reporting, and trend visibility. If you are actively pursuing certification or maintaining a certified posture, Phase 2 is the right fit.
What log types does Watchtower support for CMMC analysis?
All 13 log types Watchtower supports — Windows Event Logs, Linux syslog, OpenSSH auth logs, firewall and router logs, web server logs, macOS logs, Apache error logs, Snort, Suricata, Zeek DNS and DHCP, and Wireshark CSV exports. Multi-source uploads allow up to 4 log files per engagement for correlated analysis across your environment.
How does the CMMC Executive Briefing support board-level decisions?
The Executive Briefing translates technical evidence gaps into financial risk — C3PAO audit gap risk (proportion of the $50,000 assessment cost attributable to your evidence gaps), DoD contract risk exposure (risk-adjusted against your contract value), and compliance savings against consultant labor rates. Leadership and general counsel get a single document that quantifies what non-compliance actually costs the organization.
Can Watchtower support a subcontractor network or multiple sites?
Yes. Phase 3 (Compliance-as-a-Service) is designed for prime contractors and multi-entity environments where CMMC obligations extend across subcontractors. Pricing for multi-site engagements is scoped based on entity count, log volume, and contract obligations. Contact us to discuss your specific environment.
