If you need to simplify compliance and risk management while meeting timelines and keeping your budget under control, Paramify has you covered. But, what does Paramify actually do

Paramify is cloud-based software that automates gap assessments, compliance planning, and documentation – think NIST 800-53 or CMMC – for government agencies, cloud providers, and the Defense Industrial Base. 

With one-click SSP generation and a living dashboard, Paramify cuts through the chaos, boosts accuracy, and gets you audit-ready fast. Curious how it works? Let’s dive in.

What does Paramify do?

Paramify is a cloud-based platform that makes risk management accessible to everyone. We automate compliance planning, gap assessments, and documentation for government agencies, cloud service providers, and members of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). 

Paramify’s strategic focus, implementation management, and one-click document generation helps strengthen your organization’s security posture without the soul-crushing, budget gauging agony of manual compliance documentation.

Stay aligned with any control catalog requirements – NIST 800-53 (e.g., FedRAMP, FISMA, GovRAMP, TX-RAMP), NIST 800-171 (e.g., CMMC), and others (e.g., SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001) – using Paramify. 

Paramify boosts efficiency and accuracy while accelerating your compliance processes

Paramify is grc compliance automation and ssp automation software that works different than manual compliance efforts

Generate accurate SSPs in hours or days:

Fast and Easy Setup

Get value in minutes. Seriously. There’s no time-consuming or expensive setup process when you use Paramify. 

You can upload your previous SSP(s) if you’re already in the compliance world. 

If you’re getting started, or want to start with a fresh SSP without the errors, you’ll do a 60-minute intake session to identify your system’s elements and security capabilities. 

From here Paramify will automatically generate a roadmap to your compliance goals. Your automated, always up-to-date SSP will be available to generate at any time.

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?
