What We Do NOT Use

The ASSESS Tool — No Cookie Tracking

Our free compliance assessment tool is specifically designed with an anonymous-first architecture (US Patent Pending 64/110,963). Your answers to the 110-control questionnaire are scored entirely within your browser using local computation. No cookie, session variable, or network request captures your assessment responses until you explicitly choose to share your email address to receive your results.

This means you can assess your CMMC posture with zero risk of creating a traceable compliance record — which is the core privacy guarantee of ClearanceIQ.
