Mirai + Paramify: FedRAMP Timelines from 6 months → 5 weeks. 

Mirai’s clients can now meet their security goals more than 80% faster with Paramify. What used to take 6 months takes 5 weeks for FedRAMP timelines. As a CMMC RPO, their CMMC and FedRAMP clients get the long-term, time-saving benefits of automated documentation. 

• Streamline Implementation: A living gap assessment from Paramify becomes an implementation road map to help clients create an excellent security plan and meet compliance goals as efficiently as possible.
• Automate Documentation: What once took months to write is created as clients implement their security plan. Accurate documentation is ready to generate at any time with the click of a button. 
• Easier Audits and Remediation: Changes to documentation can be made immediately (even in the audit) and automatically apply everywhere relevant.

Q&A with Mirai’s John Pawluk and Sandy Buchanan 

What common difficulties do your clients face? 

Clients struggle with high security costs and keeping up with changing rules, especially smaller businesses. They can also underestimate how hard compliance is and may move very slowly on the technical implementation. 

We see orgs go into something like CMMC expecting it to be similar to SOC 2 – but it’s not even the same sport. They’re often surprised by the level of maturity that’s required and the difficulty of proving it. 

Our clients starting out with a less mature security posture move much faster on implementation using Paramify’s gap assessment dashboard to build their security strategy. 

More mature clients can move through implementation strategy and documentation in about 5 weeks instead of the 6 months it took before. 

How has Paramify improved documentation for your clients?

The FedRAMP SSP template is 330 pages when it’s blank! Just opening up that document takes forever. Not having to deal with that alone may save upwards of 2 weeks.

Paramify’s simple-to-use interface that cross references everything takes away the organizational nightmare of making updates. The amount of time this saves is a huge value and pays for the software instantly. 

Finding references is easy now. Being able to make a change on the fly and regenerate your document is huge. 

This also speeds up audits. Fixes can even be done on the call or you can finish up the assessment and plow through remediations quickly. 

How are you cutting security costs for your clients? 

Clients pursuing CMMC and FedRAMP can do it for ⅓ of the cost with Paramify. And our client is set up to manage the SSP themselves without needing super encyclopedic knowledge. 

This saves money up front and on future consulting costs. 

Honestly, we want to work ourselves out of a job when it comes to maintaining these SSPS. We hope our clients want to work with us, not to do so because they can’t keep up with documentation on their own.
