Idea submission

Government System Security Plans (SSPs) are completed manually, amounting to hundreds of thousands of pages of manually-completed documentation each year. Current resource limitations make exploring automated approaches to this critical security process difficult. By leveraging Artificial Intelligence and newly-developed NIST standardized machine language to analyze System Security Plans, TTS will explore increasing FedRAMP's capacity to meet government-wide demand for secure cloud services, and how the same approach might be applied to any agency completing an SSP independent of FedRAMP.

Phase 1

The idea submission was validated and recommended for further investment.

Closeout, April 2020

Phase 2

A prototype method of creating validation rules was created using Schematron.

Closeout, February 2021

Phase 3

The development phase produced SSP validation rules, extensive automated tests, a web-based documentation and validation tool, and guidance for integrating validation rules into third-party applications.

Closeout, August 2021

Phase 4

Validation rule development continued, producing additional SSP, SAP, SAR, and POA&M validation rules. In partnership with CMS, assistance was provided on internal OSCAL adoption, and a user-centered methodology was undertaken to assist, and learn from, CMS-sponsored FedRAMP applicants.
