SOLUTIONS // FEDERAL R&D · RESEARCH PROGRAMS

Continuous ATO for federally funded research.

FFRDCs, federal research programs, and university-affiliated labs run on perpetual authorization cycles. PolicyCortex automates evidence collection across NIST 800-53 r5, surfaces drift before the SAR closes, and produces OSCAL packages that assessors consume directly — air-gap deployable, FIPS-validated, framework-agnostic.

PolicyCortex ATO — Moderate authorization, 76% posture, 137 controls, 240 artifacts auto-collected, NIST 800-53 r5 control family heatmap, 3PAO readiness forecast, control-level evidence with owner assignments

FAQ

OSCAL output for assessors?

Yes. SSP, POA&M, and SAR export in OSCAL 1.1.2. Assessors with OSCAL-aware tooling consume directly; everyone else gets the auditor ZIP.

Air-gapped enclave?

Yes. Disconnected deployment supported. Evidence captured locally and exported via approved transfer mechanism.

Framework overlays?

NIST 800-53 r5 baselines + impact-level tailoring (Low/Moderate/High). Custom overlays supported when programs require additional control selection.

Who operates the platform?

Founder personally during pilot engagements. Cleared engineering only — vetted personnel on every touch.

PROCUREMENT · NEXT STEP

Run a 30-day pilot. Cleared founder runs it.

$15,000 flat. Cleared founder runs the engagement personally. Air-gap deployment supported on request.
