FedRAMP 20x Process

The cybersecurity compliance pros at Steel Patriot Partners were bogged down by slow, manual documentation for FedRAMP and CMMC. Documentation ate up too much time and was limiting their growth. 

Paramify’s automation tool made SSP creation 90% faster — from months to days of effort — helping Steel Patriot Partners achieve FedRAMP Ready status in just 6 months, 3x faster than usual. 

“The tool did exactly what I needed it to do. Something that did all the bulk of the work to reduce the repetitiveness and address the redundancy elements of generating the SSP.”  - Mark Ketteran (Steel Patriot Partners Head of Compliance)

With Paramify, Steel Patriot’s team now focuses on clients, not paperwork, serving more without extra hires. The result? Happier clients, smarter workflows, and a scalable business ready to tackle compliance with ease.

The Results: Faster, Smarter, and Scaling

Steel Patriot tested Paramify on their own FedRAMP journey and saw jaw-dropping results:

  • 90% faster SSPs: From months to days, cutting out repetitive work.
  • FedRAMP Ready in 6 months: Down from 18+ months for past projects.
  • Better accuracy: Automation made errors easier to spot and fix.
  • More clients: They could onboard more customers without extra staff.
“Writing SSPs, policy, procedures, and plans once took 4 months, now takes 2 weeks,” said Amy Ford, Co-Founder and COO. 

Paramify also helped them achieve FedRAMP Ready status for Federal ZenGRC in just 6 months — 3x faster than the norm.

With Paramify, Steel Patriot’s team now focuses on clients’ security needs, not paperwork. They can hire experts for their skills, not just to churn out docs. Plus, clients get long-term perks like easy-to-update SSPs and automated POA&Ms.

The Verdict

“Paramify delivers on what they say, and we are living proof of it” - Amy Ford 

By slashing documentation time and boosting efficiency, Paramify helped Steel Patriot Partners serve more clients while maintaining their high standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Thank you! Your submission has been received!
Oops! Something went wrong while submitting the form.
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 Independent Assessors— that use Paramify’s platform to deliver faster, more accurate compliance outcomes for their clients.
