Symbiosis is one GRC platform spanning the Federal and Commercial Supply Chain verticals, plus AI Governance. Map a control once - its evidence flows to every framework it satisfies, from NIST 800-53 and CMMC to ISO 27001, NIST 800-161, C-TPAT, DORA, and the EU AI Act.
How it works
A predictable path from sign-up to a delivered SSP, POA&M, or C3PAO export. No consulting engagement required to get value in week one.
Sign in, name your org, pick your frameworks (NIST, ISO, SOC 2, HIPAA, CMMC, EU AI Act, and more). Controls load instantly.
Upload policies, screenshots, scan reports, or link a source of record. Every artifact is versioned, scoped to your org, and stored in isolated buckets.
Evidence on NIST AC-1 automatically satisfies ISO 27001 A.5.1, SOC 2 CC1.1, HIPAA administrative safeguards, and CMMC AC.L2. Answer once, satisfy many.
One click gives you an SSP, SAR, POA&M, executive summary, or C3PAO evidence ZIP. Dated snapshots prove progress between audits.
What you get
Attach evidence to one control and our crosswalk engine inherits it across every mapped framework - NIST to ISO to SOC 2 to CMMC in a single motion.
Walk every system through NIST RMF Steps 0-6 with approval gates, information-type CIA watermarks, PTA/PIA, and qualitative risk assessments.
Map primes, sub-tier suppliers, and vendors. Flow down requirements like CMMC, C-TPAT, and NIST 800-161, then watch risk roll up from deep in the chain.
A self-assessment mapped to ISO 42001 and NIST AI RMF that scores your institution's capacity to govern AI and produces a prioritized gap report.
Storage-backed artifact vault scoped per organization. Signed download links, review dates, owners, and full version history.
Dedicated CBN Cybersecurity Framework workspace, 22-control Data Localization assessment, and NDPA 2023 privacy module for financial institutions.
GitHub scans, vulnerability sync, POA&M automation, and readiness gauges per framework with dated snapshots so you can prove progress between audits.
One-click SSP, SAR, POA&M, executive posture summary, or C3PAO evidence ZIP - generated across every framework you have loaded.
A second licensable module for EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO 42001 - sharing the same evidence engine as Security & Privacy.
Coverage
Federal, Commercial Supply Chain, and AI Governance in one catalog. Pick the frameworks that matter to your industry and the crosswalk engine quietly does the rest - a SOC 2 control review also moves your ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, and CMMC posture forward, and a NIST 800-161 practice satisfies your C-TPAT and ISO 28000 obligations at the same time.

ISO 42001 bridges Security & AI Governance. EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and the AI Governance Readiness assessment included.
A purpose-built, foot-in-the-door engagement for defense contractors racing to hit CMMC Level 2. Everything you need to walk into a C3PAO conversation prepared.
One-time payment. No long-term contract. Full refund within 14 days if it isn't a fit.
Vanta typically starts at $12,000+/year for federal-facing customers and treats CMMC as an add-on. Symbiosis is purpose-built for CMMC L2 and NIST 800-53 - see the honest breakdown.
Symbiosis vs. Vanta for federal contractorsFrequently asked
Starter is $89/month, Professional $339/month, Advisory (multi-client) $799+/month. The CMMC Level 2 Readiness Package is a $2,500 one-time engagement, and the full CMMC bundle (tool + advisory) is $10,000.
Most teams have a first framework populated within an afternoon. A first draft SSP or gap report is typically 3 to 5 business days once evidence starts flowing in.

Yes. There is a dedicated CBN workspace with a 22-control Data Localization assessment, a full CBN Cybersecurity Framework browser (10 Parts, 25 clauses as CBN publishes them, with an optional third-party NIST 800-53 crosswalk clearly flagged as not CBN's own numbering), a payment data store inventory, evidence vault, POA&M, and board-ready reports. The Professional plan also includes the NDPA 2023 privacy module.
United States regions by default. Each customer organization is isolated by row-level security in the database and by dedicated storage prefixes for uploaded files. EU residency is on the roadmap.
Yes. The CMMC page and platform both include a C3PAO-ready evidence ZIP export with an integrity manifest, SSP, POA&M, and gap report.
Yes. Add teammates by email with Admin, Assessor, ISSO, or Viewer roles. Every action is scoped per organization and audit-logged.
24-hour customer notification for any confirmed incident that impacts customer data, plus continuous vulnerability scanning and RLS-enforced isolation. Report issues to security@symbiosis-llc.com.
Yes. Monthly plans cancel at the end of the current billing period with no penalty, and we offer a 14-day full refund on the CMMC Readiness Package if it is not a fit.
