ClearanceIQ Launches AI-Powered CMMC Compliance Platform as Pentagon Suspends Phase 2

IRVINE, Calif. - EntSun -- IRVINE, CA — ClearanceIQ Inc. today announced the full commercial launch of its AI-powered CMMC Level 2 compliance platform at clearanceiq.io. The launch comes as the Department of Defense's September 3, 2026 class deviation suspended CMMC Phase 2 third-party assessment requirements, creating widespread confusion among the estimated 80,000 defense contractors still legally required to maintain current SPRS scores under DFARS 252.204-7012.

Despite the Phase 2 suspension, Phase 1 self-assessment requirements, SPRS score submission, and False Claims Act liability under 31 U.S.C. sections 3729-3733 remain fully enforced. Defense contractors who submit inaccurate SPRS scores face treble damages and federal criminal prosecution.

ClearanceIQ addresses this gap with three products. ASSESS is a free anonymous 12-question readiness check available at clearanceiq.io requiring no login. CERTIFY is a guided 110-control documentation workflow generating a complete SPRS submission package — System Security Plan, Plan of Action and Milestones, and Affirming Official Attestation Letter — starting at $999. DEFEND adds an AI Red Team that adopts a DOJ Civil Cyber-Fraud investigator persona to stress-test every certification claim before signing, starting at $8,000 per year.

The company has filed three provisional patents covering anonymous-first scoring architecture, AS9100/CMMC crosswalk methodology, and AI Red Team self-certification technology.

"After fifteen years in aerospace and defense supply chain management, I watched this compliance problem get worse every year," said Amrit Soni, Founder and CEO. "The September suspension confused everyone. Contractors thought their obligations disappeared. They did not. We built ClearanceIQ so any defense contractor can produce legally defensible compliance documentation without paying $138,000 to a consultant."

ClearanceIQ ASSESS is available free at clearanceiq.io. ClearanceIQ CERTIFY is available at certify.clearanceiq.io starting at $999.
