C1 SmartRequest for DACM

Metadata-Driven, No-Code Authorization Workflows for SmartDACM

C1 SmartRequest for DACM turns every SSP input, evidence submission, POA&M update, clarification request, and assessor workflow into a governed, repeatable, no-code checklist. Instead of email threads, spreadsheets, or brittle Flow Designer logic, SmartRequest uses SmartDACM’s OSCAL metadata to assemble structured, audit-ready ATO workflows automatically.

Key Benefits

  • Replace email-based ATO coordination with governed workflows
  • Standardize SSP inputs, evidence requests, and POA&M updates
  • Eliminate Flow Designer maintenance and developer dependency
  • Improve submission quality with optional AI validation
  • Reduce rework and clarifications from SMEs and system owners
  • Deliver consistent, audit-ready authorization workflows across systems

Why This Product Matters

ATO workflows today are slow, fragmented, and error-prone. SMEs receive unclear requests. Evidence is scattered across inboxes. POA&M updates lack required metadata. Reviewers spend hours chasing clarifications.

SmartRequest for DACM fixes all of that by making authorization activities metadata-driven:

  • DACM control ownership drives assignment
  • Parameter requirements shape required fields
  • Evidence types define what must be submitted
  • Findings and assessment context drive routing
  • Inherited content removes duplicate work

Add optional Agentic AI, and SmartRequest becomes even more powerful—validating completeness, interpreting unclear responses, and guiding owners before reviewers ever see the request.

The result: cleaner inputs, faster cycles, fewer clarifications, and a governed ATO workflow that scales across dozens or hundreds of systems.

Capabilities

Unified Request Engine for the Entire Authorization Lifecycle
One governed workflow layer for SSP inputs, POA&M updates, evidence requests, clarifications, and significant changes.

Metadata-Driven SmartChecklists
SmartDACM OSCAL metadata (control, parameter, evidence, inheritance) automatically generates structured request templates.

No-Code Configuration
Authorization teams—not developers—configure workflows and rules.

Bidirectional SmartDACM Sync
All submissions flow directly into DACM’s OSCAL model, evidence records, findings, and POA&M logic.

Full Audit Traceability
Every action is captured with timestamps, metadata lineage, and version history.

Authorization Dashboards
Real-time visibility into SSP status, evidence backlogs, POA&M progress, and workload distribution.

How It Works

  1. A request is triggered (SSP input, evidence, POA&M, clarification, etc.)
  2. SmartRequest pulls DACM metadata to build a governed checklist
  3. Owners complete structured, validated submissions
  4. AI (optional) improves clarity and completeness
  5. SmartRequest routes approvals, updates DACM records, and logs everything
  6. Dashboards track readiness and cycle health in real time

Who It’s For

  • Authorization Teams (ISSOs, ISSMs, AOs)
  • FedRAMP / RMF Program Managers
  • System Owners & SMEs
  • Assessors / 3PAOs
  • Compliance & GRC Leaders
  • ServiceNow IRM / DACM Administrators
