ADS & KDM Analytics to Exhibit at AFCEA TechNetCyber 2025 and Demo Blade Validate

Rockville, MD (April 29, 2025) — Acquired Data Solutions (ADS) and KDM Analytics are excited to announce their joint exhibition at the AFCEA TechNetCyber 2025 Conference, taking place May 6-8, 2025, at the Baltimore Convention Center, MD. Visitors to Booth 3002 will have the opportunity to experience live demonstrations of Blade Validate, a cutting-edge product developed to automate CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) pre-assessments and simplify the path to CMMC compliance for DoD contractors.

Powered by KDM Analytics’ award-winning risk assessment suite, Blade Validate leverages NIST SP 800-171 controls to capture company assets and Federal Contract Information (FCI)/ Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) data flows, automatically populating editable Microsoft Word and Excel templates for CMMC assessments. Blade Validate automatically generate and modify boundary diagrams and essential documents, including the system security matrix, which maps system nodes to 110 controls along with compliance/non-compliance and implementation details; the Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M), which is pre-populated and prioritized with non-compliant requirements and implementation details copied from the system matrix; an autogenerated network diagram; the System Diagram; and the System Security Plan (SSP), all required for CMMC L2 certification.

The latest innovation from KDM Analytics, advances a multi-year partnership with ADS. This automated product is designed to expedite the CMMC approval process by creating a digital twin of a company’s infrastructure. This solution offers contractors invaluable insight into their CMMC assessment readiness and the necessary steps to achieve compliance.

As of the Q1 2025 deadline, all Department of Defense (DoD) contractors must be CMMC 2.0 Level 1 (L1) or Level 2 (L2) compliant, depending on the nature of their work. Failure to obtain certification will render contractors ineligible for DoD contracts. Traditionally, this process has been slow and expensive, requiring manual assessments that can take months to complete. Blade Validate dramatically reduces this timeframe, streamlining a process that used to be slowed down by inefficiencies.

“We’re thrilled to partner with KDM Analytics to introduce Blade Validate to the market,” said Steve Seiden, CEO of ADS. “Many contractors have struggled with the previous CMMC certification process, and this product is designed to change that. By cutting down the time from months to weeks, Blade Validate makes it easier for contractors—regardless of size—to achieve and maintain compliance with minimal effort.”

“Automation has revolutionized so many industries, and Blade Validate brings this efficiency to the cybersecurity assessment space,” said Djenana Campara, CEO of KDM Analytics. “With ADS’s expertise and our innovative product, we’re transforming CMMC compliance from a complex hurdle into a simple and efficient process.”
