C1 DACM: Digital Authorization Compliance Manager

Transform the Cyber ATO Process with OSCAL and ServiceNow

Achieving a Cybersecurity Authorization to Operate (ATO) has long been a manual, time-consuming, and resource-intensive process—until now.

C1 DACM (Digital Authorization Compliance Manager) from c1secure reimagines the ATO process by integrating NIST’s Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL) directly into the ServiceNow Integrated Risk Management (IRM) platform. With DACM, your organization can move from static documentation and inconsistent processes to dynamic, automated compliance workflows that dramatically cut time, improve accuracy, and reduce risk.

Key Features

OSCAL-Driven Automation

  • Seamlessly integrates OSCAL into ServiceNow IRM.
  • Automates the generation, mapping, and management of controls, policies, and system security plans using a machine-readable standard.
  • Ensures traceability, consistency, and audit readiness from Day 1.

Accelerated Cyber ATO Process

  • Eliminate outdated, manual ATO documentation practices.
  • Dramatically shorten ATO timelines from months or years to weeks through intelligent automation and streamlined attestation workflows.

Built on ServiceNow IRM

  • Fully native to ServiceNow IRM for a unified experience.
  • Provides a centralized system of record for risk, compliance, and security management—no more silos, no more rework.

Continuous Compliance Monitoring

  • Real-time dashboards and reporting offer continuous visibility into compliance posture.
  • Detect and respond to gaps or risks before they become audit issues.

Reusable System Control Templates

  • Reduce rework by creating and managing standardized, reusable control templates.
  • Easily apply these templates across multiple systems for consistency and time savings.
