On-Demand SSP and POA&M Reports
SSP and POA&M reports are complex and take time to maintain, unless you are using C1Risk.
Whether you need FedRAMP compliance, you’re working towards your CMMC 2.0 Certification or looking to centralize your core security documentation, you can use the C1Risk platform.
Build your System Security Plan, all your POA&Ms on the C1Risk Platform.
The SSP Versus the POA&M
A System Security Plan (SSP) is an iterative document that is updated as and when the company changes anything substantive about its security posture. Each major update or remediation needs to be recorded and reviewed. Information like network diagrams, administration roles, company policies, and security responsibilities by employee type are important for a complete SSP.
SSP’s are required for CMMC/Nist 800-171, FedRAMP, and many other global compliance frameworks.
POA&M
If the SSP is the representation of the business’ security posture and system(s) profile, the POA&M is the “Must-do” list.
Each company’s POA&M is likely different because it includes information about weaknesses and gaps according to the base standard, the risk posture for each respective gap, and any mitigating steps.
These are both core to your security program and work best when integrated with an automated control and issue management system like the C1Risk platform. They can be time-consuming to build, whereas a solution like C1Risk enables you to update and export an SSP or POA&M report with the click of a button.
