ADS & KDM to Demo Blade Validate at TechNet Cyber
Rockville, MD (March 31, 2025) — Acquired Data Solutions (ADS) and KDM Analytics are partnering to showcase Blade Validate at the AFCEA TechNet Cyber 2025 Conference, May 6-8, at the Baltimore Convention Center. Visitors to Booth 3002 will experience live demonstrations of Blade Validate, a cutting-edge solution designed to automate CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) pre-assessments and simplify compliance for Department of Defense (DoD) contractors.

Developed by KDM Analytics with ADS’s collaboration, Blade Validate automates the CMMC certification process. The tool creates a digital twin of a company’s infrastructure, generates system diagrams, maps data flows for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI), and produces detailed cybersecurity reports. It provides contractors with critical insights into their CMMC readiness, and the steps needed to achieve compliance.

By Q1 2025, all DoD contractors must be CMMC 2.0 Level 1 (L1) or Level 2 (L2) compliant, depending on their work. Without certification, contractors cannot access DoD contracts. Traditionally, achieving compliance has been time-consuming and costly, but Blade Validate streamlines this by reducing the process from months to weeks.

“We’re excited to introduce Blade Validate,” said Steve Seiden, CEO of ADS. “This product cuts down on time and effort, making CMMC compliance easier for contractors.”

Powered by KDM Analytics’ risk assessment suite, Blade Validate leverages NIST SP 800-171 controls to capture company assets and CUI/FCI data flows. It auto-generates necessary documents, including system security matrices, POA&M, network diagrams, and System Security Plans (SSP) required for CMMC L2 certification.

Djenana Campara, CEO of KDM Analytics, added, “Blade Validate brings automation to the cybersecurity assessment space, making compliance more efficient.”
