On March 23, Zifino and Carahsoft Technology Corp. announced a partnership. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Zifino’s Master Government Aggregator, making the company’s innovative Zintegrity Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance platform available to the public sector through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V, Information Technology Enterprise Solutions – Software 2 (ITES-SW2), National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint and OMNIA Partners contracts.
“As we bring Zintegrity to the DIB, we are pleased to partner with Carahsoft to deliver a truly unique capability to the public sector,” said Sanjay Manandhar, CEO at Zifino. “Zintegrity is the first platform purpose-built to protect the defense supply chain with deterministic, secure AI—replacing time-intensive manual exercises with verifiable proof of continuous compliance. With Carahsoft’s unmatched reach across government agencies and its partners, we can now put this critical technology in the hands of the more than 300,000 organizations that need it most.”
Zintegrity is a specialized governance, risk and compliance (GRC) platform designed for the high-stakes CMMC compliance market, serving more than 300,000 companies in the U.S. defense supply chain. As the Department of War (DoW) completes implementation of DFARS 252.204-7021, Zintegrity automates the complex process of aligning technical security controls with the certifications required to obtain and maintain defense contracts. The platform deploys AI-native compliance assurance, an automated, continuous and deterministic AI architecture that conducts assessor-grade reviews of evidence, policies, system security plans and technical controls.
Unlike standard GRC tools that rely on manual checklists or probabilistic pattern matching, Zintegrity anchors evidence at the clause level with cryptographic lineage tracking, establishing a verifiable basis of fact for legal attestation. The platform identifies compliance gaps and converts them into orchestrated remediation workflows, providing a clear roadmap to audit readiness. Deployed within the customer’s own secure enclave, Zintegrity ensures that Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and other sensitive evidence remain within the organization’s security boundary.
“Zifino’s platform provides a powerful tool for coordinating and managing CMMC, DFARS and NIST 800-171 compliance requirements,” said Alex Whitworth, CMMC solutions executive at Carahsoft. “Zintegrity’s deterministic AI approach fills a critical gap in the Federal compliance landscape. Carahsoft and our reseller partners look forward to working with Zifino to deliver the platform’s advanced capabilities across the public sector.”
