How to Create the Most Accurate SSP for Faster FedRAMP Authorizations

Has your 3PAO caught a bunch of inaccuracies in your SSP?

Does the thought of one more round of corrections make your skin crawl?

There is a way off the audit, correction, audit, correction merry go round – and you deserve your life back.

Here we’ll share how you can get the most accurate ATO package that you, your 3PAO, and the PMO will all love so you can stop fixing details and start focusing on your security.

The Problem with Manually Written SSPs

If you manually write your SSP you’ll find:

It's expensive to create and maintain
It takes many miserable months, or years, to complete
The final product is full of errors, even with the help of the best GRC pros

And, psssst, your 3PAO is going to catch these inconsistencies in your SSP.

Then they’re going to make you fix them.
Over and over again, until you get it right.

Did you know that most companies’ SSPs are even out of date by the time they make it through review?

Ouch.

Errors are the natural consequence of having a group of humans copying and pasting information throughout hundreds or thousands of pages of documents.

Tracking which controls are where is a mammoth task that wastes time and your org’s resources – all for an inferior result.

You can enjoy the benefits of both types with Paramify. We provide you a human readable SSP and a digital ATO package at no extra cost.

How Much Does Paramify Cost?
