Contradictions
SSP vs. evidence
We compare what the SSP claims against what the evidence actually supports, then flag supported, partial, contradicted, and no-evidence items.
Evidence Integrity Review · CMMC / NIST 800-171
First 5 reviews free.
Hardseal reviews your compliance evidence package for SSP-to-evidence contradictions, AI-generated artifacts, boilerplate risk, and pre-assessor readiness gaps. Standard value is $5,500. You get a clear diagnostic path without a certification claim.
First contact is scope only. Do not send sensitive evidence through email or checkout. Hardseal confirms the handoff path after fit and scope are clear.
What the review covers
AI artifact risk
Generated theater check
We screen for prompt leakage, boilerplate clustering, suspicious timestamp patterns, generic narratives, and unsupported references.
Readiness path
Fix what matters first
You receive field-level findings and a prioritized remediation path so your team can move toward stronger evidence before formal review.
Public proof you can inspect
Hardseal publishes the AI-era evidence contamination engine so buyers can inspect the method, run the tests, and verify the no-phone-home design before sending a packet.
Open engine
Public repository
The core detector is public, MIT-licensed, and built with Python standard library only.
Release
v1.1.0
Eight detectors, enriched evidence payloads, schema checks, commitment verification, and 107 passing tests.
Boundary
Integrity, not certification
The engine supports pre-assessment evidence review. It does not certify compliance, replace a C3PAO, or guarantee an assessment result.
The client path, start to finish
The review is built to be simple for busy teams: start the review, confirm scope, send the evidence package through an agreed handoff path, receive findings, and decide what to fix next. The full client path is laid out on the experience page.
01
Apply or request paid review
Use email for the first 5 design partner slots. Use Stripe or invoice workflow if the free slots are gone or procurement requires a standard paid engagement. Do not send sensitive evidence through checkout.
02
Confirm scope
Hardseal confirms the matter type, evidence set, target controls, timeline, contact owner, and whether the review is for a contractor, MSP, RPO, or consultant-supported team.
03
Coordinate evidence handoff
You receive the agreed handoff instructions. The goal is a clean packet: SSP or draft SSP, policies, screenshots, exports, tickets, POA&M notes, and relevant control evidence.
04
Review claims against proof
Hardseal checks where the narrative is supported, partial, contradicted, or not yet evidenced. The review also looks for AI/boilerplate signals and unsupported language.
05
Receive findings
You get a clear findings packet with contradiction notes, risk notes, remediation priorities, and plain-English rationale your team can act on.
06
Walk through next steps
If included or requested, Hardseal walks through the findings so your team can decide what to fix, what to clarify, and what needs a follow-up readiness sprint.
What to prepare
Useful inputs
- Current SSP or draft SSP
- Control evidence folders or exports
- POA&M notes and status claims
- Policies tied to reviewed controls
- Screenshots, logs, tickets, and configuration exports
Best fit
- Teams preparing for CMMC Level 2 evidence review
- MSPs supporting DIB customers
- RPOs and consultants who want a second-pass evidence check
- Founders who know their SSP may be ahead of their proof
- Operators who want weak evidence found early
Deliverables
- Evidence Integrity Review summary
- SSP-to-evidence contradiction notes
- AI-generated artifact and boilerplate risk notes
- Top remediation priorities with plain-English rationale
- Guided intake checklist through the customer start path
- Optional follow-up call to walk through the findings
Questions before you start
Can I pay first and send evidence later?
Yes. Payment starts the engagement, then Hardseal coordinates scope and evidence handoff. If your organization needs procurement review, request invoice first.
Do I need a finished SSP?
No. A draft can be reviewed if it is the current working narrative. The goal is to compare what the packet claims against what the artifacts support.
Is this a formal assessment?
No. It is evidence integrity support before formal review. Your assessor or authorized assessment organization makes formal assessment decisions.
What happens if my packet is not ready?
You still get value. The findings show where evidence is missing, contradictory, generic, unsupported, or worth fixing before a formal review.
Assessment notice: Hardseal is assessment support software and evidence integrity review. Hardseal is not a C3PAO, does not certify compliance, does not make final assessment determinations, and does not replace a third-party assessor. The review helps teams find and fix evidence issues before formal review.
