Paramify is partnering with Mirai Security – and we can’t wait to let you know it. Together we’re slashing timelines, lowering costs, and improving their clients’ security. 

About Mirai Security: 

Mirai was started by cybersecurity professionals with a goal to “do security better.” They enable their clients to take risks safely, by providing an excellent security team that helps fill in clients’ expertise gaps.

How Mirai is different: 

  1. Offers their clients a full suite of cybersecurity solutions customized to their needs. Mirai’s mix-n-match approach provides their clients the support they need to succeed at security, whether it’s pen testing, data privacy, OT security, the full gamut of incidence response, security response, governance, and strategy. 
  2. Expert led and expert supported. All work is done in-house by security experts and professional cyber geeks – nothing is contracted out.
  3. Provides tools and resources that empower their clients to take on more, lower costs, move faster, and be more secure.

Mirai + Paramify: FedRAMP Timelines from 6 months → 5 weeks. 

Mirai’s clients can now meet their security goals more than 80% faster with Paramify. What used to take 6 months takes 5 weeks for FedRAMP timelines. As a CMMC RPO, their CMMC and FedRAMP clients get the long-term, time-saving benefits of automated documentation

  • Streamline Implementation: A living gap assessment from Paramify becomes an implementation road map to help clients create an excellent security plan and meet compliance goals as efficiently as possible.
  • Automate Documentation: What once took months to write is created as clients implement their security plan. Accurate documentation is ready to generate at any time with the click of a button. 
  • Easier Audits and Remediation: Changes to documentation can be made immediately (even in the audit) and automatically apply everywhere relevant.

Q&A with Mirai’s John Pawluk and Sandy Buchanan 

What common difficulties do your clients face? 

Clients struggle with high security costs and keeping up with changing rules, especially smaller businesses. They can also underestimate how hard compliance is and may move very slowly on the technical implementation. 

We see orgs go into something like CMMC expecting it to be similar to SOC 2 – but it’s not even the same sport. They’re often surprised by the level of maturity that’s required and the difficulty of proving it. 

Our clients starting out with a less mature security posture move much faster on implementation using Paramify’s gap assessment dashboard to build their security strategy. 

More mature clients can move through implementation strategy and documentation in about 5 weeks instead of the 6 months it took before. 

How has Paramify improved documentation for your clients?

The FedRAMP SSP template is 330 pages when it’s blank! Just opening up that document takes forever. Not having to deal with that alone may save upwards of 2 weeks.

Paramify’s simple-to-use interface that cross references everything takes away the organizational nightmare of making updates. The amount of time this saves is a huge value and pays for the software instantly. 

Finding references is easy now. Being able to make a change on the fly and regenerate your document is huge. 

This also speeds up audits. Fixes can even be done on the call or you can finish up the assessment and plow through remediations quickly. 

How are you cutting security costs for your clients? 

Clients pursuing CMMC and FedRAMP can do it for ⅓ of the cost with Paramify. And our client is set up to manage the SSP themselves without needing super encyclopedic knowledge. 

This saves money up front and on future consulting costs. 

Honestly, we want to work ourselves out of a job when it comes to maintaining these SSPS. We hope our clients want to work with us, not to do so because they can’t keep up with documentation on their own.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can compliance advisors or consultants work in Paramify with us, and does it help with managed-service models?

Absolutely. Paramify is used by many advisory partners, RPOs, and MSPs to guide, generate, and manage documentation, perform gap assessments, facilitate policy/procedure drafting, and oversee remediation activities. Advisors can fill out templates, manage controls, and generate client-ready documents.

We have privacy or compliance concerns, can we restrict what external reviewers can access?

Yes, you can assign role-based access controls in Paramify. Advisors or auditors can be given access only to certain programs, assessment and their related evidence.

Sensitive information can be withheld or redacted as needed, and only authorized reviewers see specific items.

Can auditors or advisory partners get direct access to our Paramify environment, or do we have to export everything for them?

Yes, Paramify allows external assessors/auditors and advisors to be invited as users, with controlled permission levels. They can review specific evidence, policies, SSPs, POA&Ms, or assessment modules without accessing broader company data. 

Documentation — such as Appendix A, SSPs, procedures, and POAMs — can also be exported in multiple standard formats (Word, Excel, OSCAL, EMASS, PDF) as needed.

Can I get matched with an Advisor based on my specific needs?

Yes. You can use the Get Matched feature on our website. We will review your specific compliance goals and connect you with the partner best suited for your industry and timeline.

How do Advisors use Paramify during a FedRAMP engagement?

Advisors use Paramify to conduct Gap Assessments, map controls, Automate SSPs, and manage POA&Ms.

Instead of spending months writing Word documents, the Advisor inputs the system architecture and control implementations into Paramify, which then generates the required NIST-formatted documentation.

Does Paramify compete with its Advisors?

No. Paramify is a software company. We do not offer independent audit or long-term consulting services. Our goal is to empower Advisors with better tools so they can serve more clients effectively.

What are the different partner tiers?

We feature Premier Partners prominently on our site. These are firms that have demonstrated a high level of proficiency with the Paramify platform and have successfully helped many clients through the authorization process using our tools.

How do I become an official Paramify Advisor Partner?

We look for firms with a proven track record in federal compliance. If you are interested in joining our network and leveraging our automation products, you can reach out via our contact page or schedule a demo to see how our tools fit into your workflow.

What is the benefit of using an Advisor who uses Paramify vs. one who doesn't?

Advisors using Paramify can accelerate your implementation and typically deliver documentation in a fraction of the time it takes without Paramify. This means:

  • Faster Implementation: An accelerated implementation roadmap keeps timelines predictable.
  • Lower Costs: Reduced manual consultant hours.
  • Higher Accuracy: Automation eliminates the "copy-paste" errors common in traditional SSPs.
  • Easier Maintenance: Your Advisor can help you manage POA&Ms and continuous monitoring within the platform.
Does working with an Advisor on this list guarantee FedRAMP or CMMC authorization?

No firm can "guarantee" authorization, as the final decision rests with the government authorizing body (e.g., the FedRAMP PMO or the DoD).

However, working with a Paramify Advisor significantly reduces the risk of documentation errors and ensures your package is built on a technically sound, automated foundation.

How do I choose the right Advisor for my organization?

Our Advisor page allows you to filter partners by their specific expertise, such as FedRAMP, CMMC, FISMA, or GovRAMP.

Why does Paramify partner with Advisors?

Paramify is an “Iron Man suit” for GRC experts. We provide automation technology to generate and manage compliance documentation (like SSPs snd POA&Ms) while Advisors provide the expert human oversight and implementation expertise.

Together, we offer a "best-of-both-worlds" solution: expert consulting powered by industry-leading automation and risk management planning.

What is the Paramify Advisor Partner Network?

The Paramify Advisor Partner Network is a curated group of cybersecurity and compliance firms — including CMMC Registered Practitioner Organizations (RPOs) and accredited 3PAOs — that use Paramify’s platform to deliver faster, more accurate compliance outcomes for their clients.

I already have an advisor or very capable GRC team. Why do I need Paramify?
