v3.0.0 — From Kickoff to Assessment Day

Rehearse the assessment before it counts

You can now run a mock assessment on your project. Benthic reads your actual policies, procedures, and evidence, evaluates them against each assessment objective, and queues candidate findings for your triage — you decide which become real findings. New Pre-Assessment and Post-Assessment pages show where you stand, including a projected SPRS score.

A guided start for every new project

Project setup is now a guided path: choose your CMMC level at creation (Level 1 projects get exactly the right scope), work through a smarter environment interview, and launch from a kickoff hub that shows what to do next. You can also delegate document collection to the people who own the sources.

Compare SSP snapshots and export to Word

Compare any SSP snapshot against your working draft and see exactly what changed, field by field. When it's time to share, export the SSP as a Word document.

Shared responsibility in one matrix

A shared responsibility matrix now lives in your Scope workflow: record, objective by objective, whether you or a provider carries each responsibility. You can also import a provider's customer responsibility matrix and review it against your own entries.

Your work finds you

You're now notified when work is assigned to you, a review is requested, or a due date approaches, and a work digest email summarizes your open work per project. Tasks export to CSV when you need a list outside the platform.

Organization libraries and client workspaces

Workspace admins can now manage policies and procedures in an organization catalog and share them into projects — one canonical document, reused wherever it applies. Partner organizations can create and administer managed client workspaces, including handing ownership to the client when the engagement calls for it.

Also improved

• Framework content updates now show release notes and a full preview so you can decide before applying.

• AI drafting is sharper: it can draft individual SSP fields, suggest asset scope categorizations for your review, and accepted drafts now save immediately with real citations.

• Document import lets you opt out of AI extraction at upload and clear a whole review queue in one click.

• Deleted people no longer appear in assignment pickers, downloaded documents keep their filenames, and dozens of smaller fixes landed across dashboards and editors.
