Are you considering using software to automate your CMMC SSP?

Did you know that software needs to have FedRAMP moderate (or equivalent) since your SSP will contain CTI? 

If not, you could already be out of compliance and that’s no good for business. Read on to learn more about what’s required and where you can find an SSP automation tool with FedRAMP. 

Do You Need FedRAMP-Compliant Tools for CMMC Certification?

If your organization is pursuing Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), safeguarding Controlled Technical Information (CTI) is a critical requirement.

As part of the certification process, your System Security Plan (SSP) will include CTI that you’ll need to protect. 

Make sure any software you use to create your SSP that will process, store, or transmit this information is FedRAMP Moderate, FedRAMP equivalent, or higher. This ensures the tools you rely on to document and automate your compliance efforts align with the Department of Defense’s high cybersecurity expectations.
