What if we need help configuring POA&M process in Onspring?
Does FedRAMP require use of POA&M software?
The use of software to manage POA&M is not a legal mandate. However, businesses working under DoD contracts are required to comply with DFARS rule 252.204-7012 to protect controlled unclassified information. Ultimately, that compliance means a business must implement the cybersecurity requirements outlined in the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) 800-171 standard.
Within this standard, a business is required to systematically assess its cybersecurity risk, namely the risks associated with incomplete 800-171 compliance. Additionally, the business is also required to instill a Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M), identifying steps that the business will carry out to mitigate those incomplete 800-171 risks.
Due to the complexities, timelines and budget, automating your POA&M management with Onspring software is often the most efficient way to streamline workflows, reporting and documentation.
Can our organization escalate issues and see all efforts underway to close and address risks?
Yes. Onspring dashboards provide a consolidated view into all issues, which include reports to segment risks by level so your team can take a risk-based approach to issues triaging and prioritization.
Automated triggers in Onspring can also be used to notify team members when high-risk weaknesses are logged. This functionality provides immediate visibility to escalate issues for remediation.
How does Onspring’s POA&M software reduce costs or enable faster reactions to emerging risks?
On average, customers experience 40% time savings when using Onspring and prevent hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines and costs from security deficiencies. We provide:
- Always-on live reporting eliminates time spent aggregating and formatting data for reports.
- Automated project management eliminates time spent assigning tasks, following up with owners, and keeping all stakeholders updated with costs, timelines, and open risks.
