Simplify with Paramify–minimal effort, maximum results.

Updating your SSP shouldn't be so painstakingly difficult. Follow these steps to transition to NIST 800-53 Rev 5 the easy, more accurate way.

Step 1: Paramify Intake Process

If you are an existing customer skip to step 2.

The Paramify intake process starts by identifying:

  • People: Your relevant roles. Estimated 5 - 10 minutes to complete.
  • Places: Where your systems and data live – be it AWS, GCP or your own data center. Estimated 5 - 10 minutes to complete.
  • Things: Your tools and applications, from business utilities like HR software and Slack to infrastructural components like AWS services and security tools like Nexpose and CrowdStrike. Estimated 30 - 90 minutes to complete.

Once the quick and easy intake process is completed, we'll assemble your tailored Risk Solutions.

These can then be used to automatically populate a new FedRAMP Rev 5 project (or any other kind of compliance deliverable like a TxRAMP project, a StateRAMP project or a CMMC project). 

If needed, we'll also convert your existing Word-based SSP to OSCAL, an advanced format that allows automatic machine reading of your SSP. This format enables on-demand sharing of control implementation details, bypassing manual document scanning.

Additionally, we have confirmed with the PMO that submitting with OSCAL will result in faster reviews. Our unique Risk Solution platform paired with OSCAL provides unrivaled efficiencies.

Learn more about the pros and cons of OSCAL.

Now you are caught up with where existing Paramify customers will start.

Step 2: Generate FedRAMP Rev 5 Documents

From here, transitioning to Rev 5 is as simple as pressing a button to convert your project, followed by another to update the parameter settings.

Minimal effort, maximum results – that’s the elegance of Paramify.
