Table of Contents
ToggleAt Continuum GRC, protecting client data is a core responsibility. We operate our platform on FedRAMP-authorized infrastructure, making A.ITAM one of the only AI-powered GRC solutions authorized for high-security government and defense environments.
This page outlines the security measures we have in place to safeguard the sensitive compliance information our clients entrust to us.
Our Security Foundation
Continuum GRC is built on a security-first architecture designed for organizations with strict compliance and data protection requirements. Key elements of our security posture include:
- FedRAMP Authorization — Our platform runs on FedRAMP-authorized AWS infrastructure, meeting rigorous federal security standards.
- Data Encryption — All data is encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-standard protocols.
- Strict Access Controls — We enforce role-based access, least-privilege principles, and comprehensive audit logging.
- Secure AI Processing — Sensitive organizational data is never sent to external AI models for training. All AI processing occurs within secure, controlled boundaries.
- Continuous Monitoring — We maintain ongoing security monitoring aligned with FedRAMP and NIST requirements.
Shared Responsibility Model
Like all cloud-based platforms, security is a shared responsibility between Continuum GRC, our infrastructure provider (AWS), and our customers. We clearly define these responsibilities and provide documentation to support customer security assessments.
Key Security Authorizations & Attestations
Continuum GRC maintains the following key authorizations:
FedRAMP Authorization
FedRAMP Authorized Moderate
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. Continuum GRC is the only Risk Assessment and Management solution listed in the FedRAMP certified marketplace.
FedRAMP enables agencies to rapidly adapt from old, insecure legacy IT to mission-enabling, secure, and cost-effective cloud-based IT. Continuum GRC created and manages a core set of processes to ensure effective, repeatable cloud security for the government.
Listed in the FedRAMP Marketplace as a Risk Assessment and Management solution.
PCI DSS Certification
Continuum GRC is certified under the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS). Customers can run Continuum GRC applications on our PCI-compliant technology environment for storing, processing, and transmitting credit card information in the cloud. The Continuum GRC PCI compliance package includes the Continuum GRC PCI SAQ-D Service Provider Attestation of Compliance (AoC), which shows that Continuum GRC has been successfully validated against standards applicable to a service provider under PCI DSS and the Continuum GRC PCI Responsibility Summary, which explains how compliance responsibilities are shared between Continuum GRC, AWS, and our customers in the cloud.
HIPAA Attestation
Continuum GRC enables covered entities and their business associates subject to the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to leverage the secure Continuum GRC and AWS environment to process, maintain, and store protected health information. Additionally, Continuum GRC, as of December 2015, is able to sign business associate agreements (BAA) with such customers.
These authorizations demonstrate our commitment to operating at the highest levels of security and compliance.
How We Protect Sensitive Data
We take the protection of client data seriously. Our practices include:
- Keeping customer evidence and compliance data within governed environments
- Prohibiting the use of customer data to train external AI models
- Maintaining detailed audit logs of access and activity
- Following strict change management and incident response procedures
- Providing transparency during customer security reviews and audits
Why This Matters
Organizations in defense, government, healthcare, and other regulated industries often handle highly sensitive information. Choosing a GRC platform with strong, independently verified security controls reduces risk and supports compliance with demanding regulatory requirements.
