Choosing the right tools for your organization’s security program is essential. But who has time to sort through all the different options, spending hours in demos and chatting with sales teams just to get basic information?

We don’t want to waste your time. Paramify is a revolutionary security strategy and documentation tool that helps your organization improve security while cutting costs and timelines. 

Here you’ll learn what we do, what we don’t do, and how we’re different so you can decide if Paramify is a good fit for your risk management goals.

What is Paramify

Paramify is software that simplifies security strategy and compliance documentation generation. 

Our goal is to make excellent risk management accessible for everyone. 

What does Paramify do

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

We:

  1. Simplify security planning
  2. Streamline the control implementation process
  3. Automate compliance documentation to be less expensive, faster, and more accurate 
  4. Enable pain-free POAMs

1- Improve your security strategy

Get your security right from the start. Any math equation that starts wrong, ends wrong. 

Getting your security strategy wrong? 

That’s going to cost you. A lot. 

You’ll build an excellent security strategy the easy way with a living security assessment from Paramify. Your assessment includes an easy-to-use dashboard that reflects your real-time risks and provides suggested solutions.  

Paramify also helps align teams across your org. We provide technical and non-technical roles with easy workflows to make sure security planning is accurate and implementation and buy-in is easy.  

Ever sent 100 slack messages to your HR director to find out how often they are reviewing access agreements? Yeah, no more of that.

2- Streamline control implementation

Your team uses the assessment roadmap to implement solutions to your gaps and update your security assessment as you go.

You’ll stay on track and avoid expensive errors and lost time by using the Paramify dashboard. 

3- Quickly create accurate compliance documentation – for less

Too many orgs spend millions of dollars and waste thousands of hours creating compliance documentation manually.

You can move faster and save money when you generate accurate documentation in 1 to 7 days with Paramify. 

Automated compliance documentation allows you to: 

  • Generate full compliance documentation in 1-7 days
  • Spend less time and $$ on documentation
  • Enjoy speedier audits with more accurate documentation
  • Get to market faster
  • Reduce consulting costs if you need an advisor
  • Update once and apply to every relevant control
  • Convert previous SSP to digital (OSCAL) format in hours

See how we helped one business transition their documentation for Rev 5 in under 4 hours.

4- POA&Ms without pain

A CEO of a FedRAMP authorized org once told us “There is no monitor large enough to view all the spreadsheet cells that I have to look at.”

The dark spreadsheet days are over. Your team can save 40+ hours a month managing POA&Ms with Paramify’s intuitive, user-friendly POA&M dashboard. 

  • Automate POA&M documentation
  • Quickly import scans 
  • Easily track action items

Does Paramify Have FedRAMP Authorization?

Paramify pricing

Gap assessment only

If you purchase the Paramify software the assessment is included with the annual fee. 

If you’d like to just get a gap assessment to use as a security planning guide the price ranges from $5,000 - $7,000 depending on your system and your compliance goals.

Paramify SSP & ATO package pricing

Your data impact level, framework, and whether you need ConMon support will affect your price for Paramify.

Expect these ranges:

How much you'll pay for Paramify for compliance documentation and planning will depend on the type of data you use

Paramify’s Results

  • 60% faster security planning
  • 90% faster compliance documentation
  • 40% fewer remediation rounds
  • 100% fewer GRC headaches

What Paramify doesn’t do:

Paramify does not implement solutions to your gaps.

Our gap assessment guides implementation with real-time updates on what needs to be done, but you’ll either need an internal team or a GRC advisor to do the implementation.

We don’t use or provide templates for documentation. 

Templates are outdated

Slapping your info into a stale template doesn’t improve your efficiency or provide the long-term benefits available with Paramify. 

Our Risk Solutions platform enables automation and simplifies documentation in a real and lasting way.

Experienced compliance organizations

Ah, hello, Compliance Jedi. Yes, it’s true, we have helped many organizations with strong compliance backgrounds improve their security and documentation process.

Paramify can ingest your previous SSP to provide you with all the benefits of our unique Risk Solutions and POA&Ms platforms. Individual Risk Solutions can be customized to your organization’s needs. 

Your new SSP will have all the benefits of Paramify: 

GRC advisors & consultants

Paramify works with top GRC advisors. Our partners provide the benefits of their expertise and the time and cost savings of Paramify to their clients.

Paramify may not be right for you if:

Your ROI isn’t there

Your goals may not be worth the cost of our software. This is especially true if you’re seeking something like CMMC level 1 without a heavy documentation or ConMon lift. 

We don’t have your framework

We don’t have every framework in our platform yet. 

We’re working toward adding more, but as of now, we don’t have in-platform support for SOC 2 or ISO 27001. 

We can still help you produce documentation and strategy for these frameworks, but they won’t be as seamless as the in-platform frameworks.

You’re not ready for change

Paramify is a new way to do security risk management. It is much more efficient, but we know not everyone is ready to make a big change. 

Your organization may be hesitant to adjust to new methods, especially if your security posture is very mature. 

Please feel free to reach out with your concerns about making the adjustment. Our team loves to answer questions.

If Paramify isn’t quite what you’re looking for you may want to consider other documentation options like RegScale or Tellos.

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?

Use Paramify's Risk Solution platform to automate ATO packages, improving cost efficiency, speed, and accuracy. This frees your team to focus on more valuable efforts like security posture enhancement and compliance improvements.
