Did you know that there’s a new federal directive for automation? NIST and leaders in industry developed the Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL). Agencies and tool providers now have 24 months to implement OSCAL. Failure to comply could inhibit your ability to leverage the latest automations available from the FedRAMP program affecting your bottom line and risking your ability to submit deliverables such as the System Security Plan (SSP), Security Assessment Plan (SAP), Security Assessment Report (SAR), and Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&Ms) in machine-readable formats. To take full advantage of the latest automations enabled by OSCAL, you need an expert with the knowledge and expertise to develop your tailored solution. Ready to meet your needs, C2 Labs is available to become your trusted partner.
Think outside the box. NIST responded to the need for machine-readable controls that are different from legacy text-based Word documents or Excel spreadsheets. Now, it is time for federal vendors to follow along the automation journey. C2 Labs is your first and foremost FedRAMP automation industry representative. We have been involved in OSCAL since the initiation of the program. Along with other industry leaders, we worked with NIST to develop the OSCAL standard. From Day 1, we supported producing compliance documentation in both OSCAL (machine-readable) format and legacy formats. We like to say we have the right tools for the job, because implementing OSCAL is not a “one size fits all”. It’s like reaching into your tool kit and pulling out the right tool for the job, which makes us a one-stop shop for federal automation implementation and maintenance.
We are a trusted partner. C2 Labs helps vendors develop a strategic plan to automate compliance processes instilling OSCAL. In our experience of completing numerous custom integrations, we have developed the ability to leverage industry leading software and resources, which makes C2Labs the plug-and-play resource for building and designing automation programs founded on OSCAL. We meet customers where they are—leveraging what they have systematically—to ensure cost savings, which makes C2 Labs financial stewards for increasing the return on your cybersecurity investments. We take complicated and overwhelming schemas and help navigate the landscape for the right solution cost-effectively. View the Automation Focus Areas from FedRAMP listed below.
As a benefit of your engagement with C2 Labs, you will reduce costs, save time, and eliminate unnecessary changes to your security catalog and profile. At the click of a button, machine readable automation uses XML, JSON, and YAML resulting in fewer errors and reducing risks allowing you to use control-based information in OSCAL formats: control security and privacy catalogs, control baselines, control implementations, and assessment results. Implementation of OSCAL also enables organizations to effectively communicate with downstream stakeholders (e.g., third-party assessors and the FedRAMP Program Management Office) using a common data standard.
