NIST 800-53 control validation
The catalog is long; the evidence is what auditors actually read. Continuous validation against the control families that matter, with evidence captured per finding.
Industry · Public sector
ATO evidence as
a continuous artefact.
Sovereign data residency, sophisticated supply-chain attacks, an NIST control catalog the size of a phone book. Continuous validation produces the evidence the SCA actually asks for — without a quarterly audit-prep cycle.
Where CTEM lands
The four exposure dimensions that matter in the public sector.
Supply chain from sophisticated actors
State-aligned actors target sovereign supply chains explicitly. Continuous SBOM monitoring, dependency provenance, and signed-artifact validation across every shipped service.
Identity exposure including service accounts
Non-human identity sprawl is the largest unmapped surface in most agencies. IAM walks, OAuth grants, service-account audit — surfaced and scored continuously.
Sovereign data residency
Some data does not cross borders. Per-tenant region pinning, audit-logged data flows, and exportable compliance evidence for sovereign data programs.
In practice
Three scenarios from a typical ConMon week.
- 06:22
New OSS dependency lands in a federal-facing service
Dependency triggers SBOM update + provenance check. The unsigned package gets flagged before the deploy reaches production. Vendor risk team gets the artifact, not a "look at the build" pointer.
- 12:05
Cross-agency identity grant appears
Identity discovery catches the new federation. CRPS scores against the destination tier and reachability. The IdP team reviews scope before the grant goes live.
- 15:30
Quarterly ATO evidence package assembled
Every finding mapped to NIST 800-53 control families. The SCA exports a structured evidence pack instead of running a one-off audit-prep cycle.
Regulatory frame
What the SCA asks, what we produce.
- NIST 800-53 · CSF 2.0 Control family mapping · continuous control validation
- FedRAMP Moderate · High · evidence collection during ATO and ConMon
- FISMA Continuous monitoring evidence · POA&M support
- DoD IL5 Sovereign data residency · controlled unclassified information
- CMMC Level 2 / 3 Practice + process evidence for the supply base
