Record control assessment results the way SP 800-53A prescribes (the methods you used, a Satisfied or Other Than Satisfied determination, and your findings), then produce the Security Assessment Report that anchors the authorization decision. Pulls controls from your SSP, feeds findings to your POA&M.
An SSP says how a control is meant to work. A Security Assessment Report says whether it actually does: examined, interviewed, or tested by an assessor, and judged Satisfied or Other Than Satisfied. It's the evidentiary spine of an ATO package, and the one artifact a self-assessment suite usually leaves you to assemble by hand.
This tool records each control's assessment methods, determination, and findings; rolls them into a residual-risk determination; and produces a clean report. Every Other Than Satisfied finding flows straight into your POA&M for tracking to closure.
Bring your controls in from the SSP, assess each one with the SP 800-53A methods, and produce a report the Authorizing Official can act on, with findings routed straight to remediation.
Prefill the assessment scope directly from your System Security Plan: the baseline controls and every documented control come across, carrying their implementation status as context. Or add controls from the SP 800-53 catalog by baseline (Low / Moderate / High).
For each control, capture which SP 800-53A methods you applied (Examine, Interview, Test), the same evidence trail an independent assessor or 3PAO documents.
Judge each control Satisfied or Other Than Satisfied (or Not Applicable), record your findings, and, for weaknesses, assign a risk level. The tool rolls these into an overall residual-risk determination for the system.
Generate a print-ready Security Assessment Report: cover sheet, executive summary, the findings requiring action, per-family results, and assessor and AO signature blocks, ready to drop into the authorization package.
Every Other Than Satisfied finding exports straight into the POA&M Tracker, with control reference, risk-based priority, and assessment methods intact, so weaknesses move from report to remediation without retyping.
The full assessment is free to use. Pro adds the I/O and reporting layer that makes the SAR part of a real authorization package.
Persist the full assessment as a JSON file and reload it later, or keep a versioned history across assessment cycles.
Produce the formal Security Assessment Report (exec summary, findings, per-family results, and signatures) for your package or leadership.
From the dashboard, fold the SAR into a single Authorization Package alongside the SSP and POA&M. It supplies the assessment basis for the AO's authorization decision.
Compare assessment snapshots over time to show control satisfaction climbing as weaknesses close: evidence of continuous improvement.
Start assessing your controls immediately: no setup, no account. Pull from your SSP, record your findings, and produce the report. Pro adds save, print, and the Authorization Package.
