One Platform. Complete Security. Always Compliant.
Security and compliance have always been two separate problems — separate tools, teams, and budgets with a gap in between. GUARDIENT® closes that gap. The only platform that unifies XDR, SOC, GRC, and RMM so protecting your business automatically proves you're compliant.
What is GUARDIENT®?
GUARDIENT® by USX Cyber is a unified cybersecurity and compliance platform built for defense contractors, government contractors, and the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). It combines Extended Detection and Response (XDR), a 24/7 U.S.-based Security Operations Center (SOC), Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) automation, and Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) in a single system — so security operations continuously produce the evidence needed for CMMC, NIST 800-171, SOC 2, and other frameworks, instead of being collected manually before each audit.
Security tools generate alerts.
Compliance tools generate spreadsheets.
Neither talks to the other.
Most organizations run security and compliance as two completely separate initiatives — separate vendors, separate teams, and a manual process connecting them. Gaps get discovered at audit time. Costs pile up. Boards get nervous.
GUARDIENT® was built to end that. Security controls enforced continuously. Compliance evidence generated automatically as a natural output of security operations. One program. One platform. One truth.

With GUARDIENT®
Six capabilities.
One platform.
Zero gaps.
Every module is built to work as one — sharing data, context, and evidence across your entire security and compliance program.
XDR + SOC + GRC + RMMExtended detection and response across every endpoint, cloud workload, and network vector. Behavioral AI, real-time containment, and guided remediation — continuously feeding your compliance posture.
Continuous compliance mapped to every framework your business needs. Evidence collects itself. SSPs, POAMs, and audit packages build themselves. Your assessor gets everything — you get your time back.
A full security operations team without the headcount. U.S.-based analysts monitoring your environment around the clock. When something looks wrong, they don't alert — they act.
One view across your security posture, compliance status, threat activity, and operational health. Clear for leadership. Detailed for analysts. One source of truth — not five dashboards.
Playbooks that fire automatically the moment a threat is confirmed — isolating endpoints, blocking lateral movement, logging evidence, and escalating — in minutes, not hours.
Patch management, configuration enforcement, and hardening baselines that run continuously — closing the gap between IT operations and compliance. Every unpatched system is a finding. RMM makes sure you don't have any.
The platform the
industry has been
waiting for.
Enterprise security teams run best-in-class point solutions stitched together with integrations and headcount. GUARDIENT® gives every organization — regardless of size — a purpose-built platform where security and compliance operate as one.
Security That Proves Compliance
Every security action GUARDIENT® takes generates evidence. Every control enforced is documented. Your compliance posture is a live output of your security operations — not a separate program you run in parallel.
One Vendor. One View. One Bill.
End the sprawl. GUARDIENT® replaces the patchwork of EDR, SIEM, GRC, MSSP, and RMM tools most organizations run today. One platform. One support team. One complete picture of your risk.
Always Ready — Not Just Audit Season
Audit prep shouldn't be a fire drill. GUARDIENT® enforces controls continuously and collects evidence in real time — so when an assessor, a customer, or your board asks where you stand, you have the answer.
Organizations that chose one platform over many.
Less complexity, stronger posture, and compliance that never lapses — because it runs continuously alongside every security operation.

“USX Cyber has been an outstanding partner for Corinth. As our MSSP, they keep our environment secure and give us the confidence to focus on delivering for our DoD and Civilian Federal Customers. When we needed to execute our C-SCRM plan, they led the effort and we completed it in record time. Now they’re guiding us through CMMC Level 2 certification, and based on our experience, I have no doubt they’ll get us there. They don’t just provide a service; they operate as an extension of our team.”
"From Day 1, USX Cyber delivered real value protecting our 100+ systems and critical IP. Our operations are running smoother and safer than ever."
“USX Cyber has been a real game changer for us. Their team provides fast responses to our cybersecurity issues and resolves problems quickly. Their new GUARDIENT® platform significantly reduces our workload and helps keep us CMMC compliant. This allows us to focus on our engineering work and customers.”

Answers about GUARDIENT®,
CMMC, and unified security + compliance.
What is GUARDIENT®?
GUARDIENT® by USX Cyber is a unified cybersecurity and compliance platform that combines Extended Detection and Response (XDR), a 24/7 U.S.-based Security Operations Center (SOC), Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) automation, and Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) in a single system. Built for defense contractors and the Defense Industrial Base, GUARDIENT® accelerates CMMC Level 2 compliance by continuously producing audit evidence from security operations, rather than requiring a separate manual collection effort.
How does GUARDIENT® differ from compliance-only platforms like Drata, Secureframe, or Vanta?
Unlike compliance-only platforms, GUARDIENT® combines active security monitoring with compliance automation. It includes:
- 24/7 U.S.-based SOC analysts (OverWatch) — not just software
- XDR endpoint detection and response (Sentry) — not just compliance tracking
- Evidence produced continuously as a byproduct of security operations
- Remote monitoring, patching, and hardening (Guardient RMM) built-in
- Purpose-built for the Defense Industrial Base and CMMC — not general SaaS
Drata, Secureframe, and Vanta primarily serve SaaS companies pursuing SOC 2. GUARDIENT® serves defense contractors and GovCon pursuing CMMC, with full security operations included.
What compliance frameworks does GUARDIENT® support?
GUARDIENT® supports CMMC Level 1, 2, and 3, SOC 2 Type I and Type II, HIPAA, NIST 800-171, ISO 27001, and CIS Controls v7 and v8. The platform automatically maps security controls to each framework and continuously generates audit-ready evidence — so one control mapped in GUARDIENT® satisfies multiple frameworks simultaneously.
Does GUARDIENT® include 24/7 SOC monitoring?
Yes. GUARDIENT® includes OverWatch, a 24/7 managed Security Operations Center staffed by U.S.-based analysts who monitor your environment, detect threats, and respond in real time. The same monitoring activity produces evidence that supports NIST 800-171 continuous monitoring requirements — so SOC coverage and audit documentation come from a single source.
How much does GUARDIENT® save compared to using multiple tools?
Organizations using GUARDIENT® save an average of $250,000 annually by replacing 4–6 separate tools — typically EDR, SIEM, GRC software, MSSP services, RMM, and compliance consultants — with a single unified platform. Total cost of ownership is typically 40–60% lower than a fragmented toolset, and the operational overhead of managing multiple vendors is eliminated.
How long does it take to reach CMMC Level 2 audit readiness with GUARDIENT®?
Organizations using GUARDIENT® typically reach full audit readiness in approximately 90 days, compared to the 6–12 months common with traditional manual approaches. GUARDIENT® continuously captures evidence from security operations and maps it to CMMC, NIST 800-171, and other framework controls — which removes most of the manual collection and organization work that slows traditional audit prep.
Who is GUARDIENT® built for?
GUARDIENT® is built for:
- Defense contractors and subcontractors pursuing CMMC certification
- Government contractors (GovCon) of all sizes
- Members of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB)
- Organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) or Federal Contract Information (FCI)
- Small and mid-sized businesses (50–500 employees) that can't staff a full security and compliance team
One platform.
Every framework.
Always ready.
Stop managing two programs. Stop paying for tools that don't talk to each other. Stop scrambling before every audit. Start running GUARDIENT®.
