Meet Charlie
“Hi — I'm Charlie. I'll walk you through the 15 things DoD wants you to confirm for CMMC Level 1. Most take seconds. I'll tell you when something needs fixing and exactly how to fix it. When you're done, you sign once and you're bid-eligible.”
Charlie is the Custodia virtual Compliance Officer (vCO) — the voice you talk to when you need to get bid-ready, when an evidence file looks fishy, and when something in your environment quietly drifts out of compliance at 2am on a Tuesday.
How Charlie was built
- Trained on CMU INI-grade information security curriculum
- Grounded in FAR 52.204-21, 32 CFR § 170, and NIST SP 800-171 r2
- Backed 24/7 by Custodia Compliance Officers (real, credentialed humans)
Custodia Compliance Officers — credentialed humans trained at Carnegie Mellon's Information Networking Institute — sit behind every Charlie answer. When a question crosses into legal-advice territory or your scope outgrows Level 1, a human picks it up. That is built in. There is no upsell.
What Charlie won't do
- Pretend it's a lawyer.Affirmations carry False Claims Act exposure. Charlie flags it and sends you to counsel.
- Sign off on weak evidence.Charlie blocks attestation when any of the 15 safeguarding requirements are still partial or unclear. No exceptions.
- Drift into Level 2 or DFARS.Charlie is scoped to CMMC L1 — and tells you when an officer should take over.
- Make up citations.Every regulatory quote pulls verbatim from FAR 52.204-21, 32 CFR § 170, or NIST SP 800-171 r2.
