Automapping CMMC and FedRAMP Controls

Federal contractors and cloud service providers face an increasingly complex web of compliance requirements. Two frameworks dominate this landscape: CMMC and FedRAMP. This challenge hits hardest for organizations serving multiple federal sectors or providing both traditional contracting services and cloud solutions. These companies must navigate overlapping requirements, duplicate their documentation efforts, and maintain separate compliance programs to ensure adherence to regulations.

The answer isn’t choosing between frameworks, but developing innovative strategies that leverage their commonalities while respecting what makes each one unique. CMMC automapping shifts the focus from merely managing compliance to orchestrating it intelligently.

Unfortunately, cybercrime is once again in the news. This time, a small county in Ohio has been the victim of an attack that has destabilized its ability to provide critical services to constituents.

While the damage itself isn’t devastating, it highlights the fact that no government agency, no matter how big or small, is immune to attacks. This is why adoption and adherence to GovRAMP are so important.

Automating SSPs, SARs, and POA&Ms with OSCAL

FedRAMP is at the center of the federal mandate on cloud technology, offering a standardized approach for assessing, authorizing, and continuously monitoring these services across agencies. But even with a mature framework, FedRAMP processes can be time-consuming and document-heavy.

This is where the Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL) comes in. This transformative initiative introduces machine-readable reporting for security documentation, enabling the automation of reports. For cloud service providers, Third-Party Assessment Organizations (3PAOs), and federal stakeholders, adopting OSCAL is becoming essential for staying ahead in the compliance lifecycle.
