Frequently asked
Is Cresthaven Analytics good for defense contractors and government-contracting compliance teams?
Yes — covers 12 defense and government-contracting agencies including DoD, NIST cybersecurity (CMMC), ITAR, FAR/DFARS rulemakings, NATO NSPA, UK MoD, UK DASA, EU EDA, ASPI, Japan ATLA. Material procurement rule changes, ITAR designation updates, CMMC guidance, and cybersecurity directives arrive as structured briefs within minutes. Designed for defense contractors, aerospace manufacturers, export-control counsel, and cleared-contractor security teams.
Does Cresthaven Analytics cover CMMC and ITAR regulatory developments?
Yes — NIST cybersecurity and CMMC framework updates, ITAR rule changes (USML categorizations, license requirements, deemed-export rules), FAR/DFARS amendments, DoD procurement policy, and EU EDA cooperation. Material developments trigger structured briefs with the affected categories, effective dates, and implementation implications. Coverage is regulatory action, not contract-award news — for contract award intelligence, pair with a separate sole-source or government-contracting service.
What's the cheapest Cresthaven tier for defense regulatory monitoring?
Basic at $149/month covers 3 agencies. A typical defense setup is DoD + BIS (for ITAR export control) + NIST cybersecurity, or DoD + UK MoD + EU EDA for cross-Atlantic defense exposure. Add FAR/DFARS or NATO NSPA at $29/month each up to 3 more (max 6 agencies total). For broader defense + cybersecurity + export-control coverage, Professional at $399/month covers 6 agencies with daily digests.
How is Cresthaven Analytics different from Bloomberg Government or Defense News?
Bloomberg Government and Defense News are media products — daily news, analyst commentary, congressional tracking. Cresthaven Analytics covers what regulators and procurement authorities actually do: DoD rule changes, ITAR designations, CMMC framework updates, FAR/DFARS amendments, EU EDA cooperation agreements. Use BGov or Defense News for narrative and policy commentary; use Cresthaven for the regulatory action layer underneath.
