TORONTO - s4story -- The Cactus Group announced the launch of ThornScan, a modern compliance workspace designed to help defense contractors, prime contractors, and service providers streamline preparation for U.S. government contract awards. ThornScan supports CMMC and NIST 800-171 readiness by replacing spreadsheets and disconnected tools with a unified approach to control tracking, evidence management, and documentation—helping organizations improve clarity, reduce operational burden, and maintain ongoing readiness across Level 1 and Level 2 environments.

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."
