Government compliance can be exhausting — manual tasks, sprawling spreadsheets, and unpredictable costs make frameworks like CMMC or NIST 800-53 feel overwhelming.
Paramify offers a streamlined process that automates the boring stuff.
Below, we compare Paramify to conventional methods across gap assessments, documentation, audits, POA&M management, budgets, and timelines to show how it’s different and what it could mean for your team.
Paramify is software that automates planning, documentation and POA&Ms, so you can stay focused on the security tasks that matter most.
The table below breaks down the basic differences between Paramify and more traditional methods. Read more below for details.

Traditional gap assessments can cost from $10,000 to $100,000+ and rely on weeks of interviews to produce a static report.
“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.” - John Pawluk, Mirai Security
Paramify’s price includes your gap assessment, but it goes beyond the report. You’ll get a dynamic gap assessment dashboard that becomes a compliance roadmap. This helps you prioritize security tasks and tackle them efficiently.
This tool is especially helpful for organizations that are new to compliance. Building an excellent security strategy can be expensive and take a long time to get right. With Paramify you’ll get a simplified, cost-effective path forward.

“Paramify speeds up the heavy lifting — documentation, cross-referencing, audits — so clients can focus on implementation and growth. - Sandy Buchanan, Mirai Security
Manually writing a System Security Plan (SSP) and appendices is time-consuming. It often takes 6-24+ months to create 1 SSP.
Most organizations use templates to speed up the SSP writing process. The template itself can be 300+ pages and require hundreds of hours of manual customization.
Manually written SSPs are error-prone and become outdated quickly as you make changes to your system. Every update is painfully slow and difficult as changes have to be made throughout hundreds to thousands of pages.

Paramify automates documentation. We’re not talking about templates, but real automation for SSPs and POA&Ms.
As you adjust your implementation status, you can generate accurate SSPs and supporting documents for CMMC or NIST 800-53 at any time.
Automation works for organizations with a strong security posture, or those new to compliance:
Automated documentation is included in Paramify’s plans, from $8k/year for CMMC to $30k-$60k/year for NIST 800-53 Mod High-Impact. If you’re using an advisor you can request they use Paramify to build your system to get the long-term benefits of automation.

“Paramify delivers on what they say.” - Amy Ford, Steel Patriot Partners Co-Founder and COO
Manual documentation contains errors, lots of them. This leads to multiple rounds of corrections and extended auditor reviews, which delay your authorization or certification.
Paramify’s automated documents are more precise. Improved accuracy minimizes the back-and-forth so you can finish your audit quickly.
With Paramify you’ll reduce revisions and speed up your audit by approximately 40%.
Traditional POA&M management is labor-heavy. You’ll probably need a large team to manage spreadsheets and vulnerability scans. It takes weeks of work each month that can distract from higher security priorities.
Paramify automates POA&Ms and Continuous Monitoring in app. It cuts monthly tasks to hours without needing additional staff.

It’s well known in the GRC industry — budgeting for traditional compliance is difficult. Costs for CMMC or NIST 800-53 often spiral out of control due to delays or unexpected consultant hours.
Paramify’s streamlined process makes it easier to plan your budget. Most organizations save $120,000+ with our automation tools.

Go ahead and ask anyone in GRC, it’s common knowledge that manual tasks and inefficiencies make traditional compliance processes drag on for months or years.
Paramify automates the busy work and majorly speeds up the journey with
Jason Ford from Steel Patriot Partners, a Paramify partner, reports:
“We’re taking 2 weeks to do what used to take 4 months.”
Paramify itself achieved FedRAMP High Ready status in 6 months, going from zero to audit-ready in under 6 weeks for $300,000 total.

If the traditional compliance process isn’t working for you, Paramify offers a more efficient way forward. Traditional GRC processes are often slow, expensive, and frustrating.
Paramify provides an alternative by automating gap assessments, documentation, and POA&M management for government security frameworks.
You can save time, reduce costs, and do security better, with Paramify.
