Have you heard the great news? On August 21, 2024 Paramify announced that we’ve raised $3.5 million in seed funding from Album Ventures and Next Frontier Capital.
Too many GRC professionals have been tortured by the hideous compliance documentation process that existed before Paramify’s launch in October, 2023. Now, things are looking up.
We’ve tackled faster, easier SSP generation and management, but there’s so much more to do. Seed funding is going to get us there – fast. You can expect to see improved automation for ConMon and POA&Ms, plus more compliance frameworks and product integrations.
It’s going to be so good. We can’t wait to show you what’s next.
What is Paramify?
Paramify is security planning and documentation software that automates the compliance documentation process that GRC professionals love to hate – including FedRAMP, StateRAMP, TX-RAMP, CMMC, and SOC2, with more frameworks coming soon.
The documentation process for FedRAMP takes hours with Paramify, instead of the months (or years) it takes to complete the old-fashioned way.
Mike Parisi, Head of Client Acquisition at 3PAO assessment firm Schellman says:
“Paramify has helped organizations, many of which are our clients, automate the creation of documentation packages – in addition to other capabilities – faster and more accurately than I have ever seen in the marketplace to date.”
ATO Packages created with paramify use the Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL), a next-generation standard from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This allows continuous, automated security control assessments.
Paramify clients can also quickly transition their manually maintained SSPs and other documentation, and leverage AI to pinpoint improvements, ending the reliance on word document and spreadsheet updates.

What are the Benefits of Using Paramify?
Paramify allows CSPs selling services to the government to waste less time, energy, and money all while giving back the bandwidth to really improve their security.
With Paramify, you can:
- Move faster & spend less on compliance documentation
- Massively reduce errors in documentation
- Automatically produce OSCAL-based digital packages and a human readable versions
- Easily make updates and adjustments
- Reduce GRC employee burnout and turnover
“As it happens, the endless paperchase tends to drive cybersecurity professionals to the brink of insanity. Paramify automates that paperchase – it's an Iron Man suit for your GRC team. Thanks to our team and community, it just keeps getting better,” said Kenny Scott, Founder and CEO.
The Downside to Using Paramify
Organizations large and small waste less time and money, watch fewer employees break down in mental anguish, and produce much more accurate documentation that’s easy to update and adjust when they use Paramify.
So you might ask, what’s the catch?
The only catch is – are you willing to change for the better?
Like, what’s the catch of:
- Asking Siri for directions rather than unfolding a map the entire size of the interior of your vehicle?
- Texting that hiiilarious video of your dog to your mom rather than pumping out a telegram in morse code describing Fido’s latest antics?
But, breakups are hard. Even when your manually produced SSP has as many errors as your ex has narcissistic tendencies.
When you’re ready, we’d love to lighten your load with SSP automation.
Our promise?
To make your transition to the modern age as gentle as possible. We can even absorb your legacy SSP.

Do ATO Packages Built with Paramify Pass Audit and Get FedRAMP Authorized?
Many ATO packages built with Paramify have successfully been through assessment. The verdict: they love what they see.
One 3PAO even called our documentation “beautiful.”
We’re still blushing.
Risk Solutions Create Simpler Documents
Documents built with Paramify’s one-of-a-kind Risk Solutions platform do look different than what most GRC pros are used to seeing. Some worry they’re too different to work.
But, they’re different like a kid who used to have snot all over his face and finally discovered tissues.
Different. But better.
Risk Solutions simplify and improve your documentation, while making it more user friendly. A Risk Solution is a security capability that can be mapped to many requirements.
Paramify keeps a library of vetted Risk Solutions that are audited and certified many times over. You can use these solutions as-is, customize them, or write your own.
Updating one Risk Solution will automatically update every requirement and document that it maps to. It’s simple, it’s efficient, and they’re written in a way that’s accessible to many departments for better project management.
Again, different, but that’s good.

How Did Paramify Begin?
Ah, like many origin stories, Paramify began with a sad, angry man.
Kenny Scott, formerly a surfing, punk-rocking, super dude found himself on the wrong side of compliance documentation.
Which is to say, anywhere near it.
With a family that enjoys fancy things like food and shelter, Kenny had to find a way to fight off the gnarly pit of doom that gnawed at his stomach every Sunday night before he got back to his GRC career nightmare.
But, there was only one way to love GRC – to change it.
Kenny dove in and started to find the patterns. The Adobe Common Controls Framework was born. It was better, but more needed to be done to free all of Kenny’s GRC captive friends.
With ideas and a prototype in hand, Kenny teamed up with professional developer, designer, and overall wizard, Tyler Stephens.
Thus, Paramify, and, agony-less, GRC, came to be.
“Paramify has been able to identify one of the most onerous tasks of any large tech organization and apply an incredibly simple solution to alleviate the pain that these teams experience,” said Diogo Myrrha, Partner at Album. “We are excited to partner with Paramify in reshaping the way security and compliance is done and now actively monitored.”
