Log findings and weaknesses, map them to security controls, assign owners and milestones, and monitor remediation status, with overdue tracking and FISMA / FedRAMP-aligned export, all in your browser.
A POA&M is the document an assessor and authorizing official actually read. It shows that known weaknesses are owned, scheduled, and trending toward closure. Tracked in an ad-hoc spreadsheet, it goes stale; dates slip silently and accountability blurs.
This tracker keeps each finding structured: weakness description, source, mapped control, responsible party, scheduled completion, and milestone history. Overdue items surface automatically, and the export columns line up with FISMA and FedRAMP POA&M reporting expectations.
Capture findings from any source, give each one an owner and a deadline, and track it through to closure. Every field maps to the columns FISMA and FedRAMP reviewers expect to see.
Record each weakness with a clear description, the detection source (security assessment, continuous monitoring, audit, scan), and the date identified. Add items manually, or import findings directly from your CSF, RMF, or Risk assessments so nothing falls through the cracks between tools.
Associate each finding with the affected SP 800-53 control or control family so reviewers can trace the weakness back to the requirement it implicates. Capturing the control identifier keeps your POA&M consistent with the SSP and assessment results in the same authorization package.
Document the planned remediation and break it into milestones with target dates. Record resources required and any milestone changes over time, preserving the history that demonstrates active management of the weakness rather than a single static deadline.
Give every item a responsible party, a priority, and a scheduled completion date. Items past their due date are flagged automatically, so the list reads as a current accountability snapshot, not a backlog of forgotten entries.
Move items through Open, In Progress, and Completed states and watch closure progress at a glance. Filter and sort by priority, status, or due date, then export the full register to CSV or a print-ready report for your AO, ISSO, or continuous monitoring submission.
A POA&M only earns its keep if it can be saved, reopened, and handed off. Pro adds the I/O layer so you can back up your tracking and move it between browsers or devices.
Save your complete POA&M as a JSON file and reload it in a future session. Keep a versioned history of the register as items open and close across reporting periods.
Generate a spreadsheet with all items, mapped controls, owners, due dates, milestones, and status, with columns aligned to FISMA and FedRAMP POA&M reporting for distribution outside the tool.
Produce a print-ready report of the full register, ready for inclusion in an authorization package or a continuous monitoring submission to the authorizing official.
Pull weaknesses straight from your saved CSF, RMF, and Risk assessment files so identified gaps flow into the POA&M without manual re-entry.
Start logging weaknesses and milestones immediately: no setup, no account required. Pro adds the export layer when you're ready to report.
