C1 FedRAMP SSP Evaluator

Accelerate Your FedRAMP System Security Plan Review with Automation and Expert Insight in ServiceNow IRM

A complete and accurate System Security Plan (SSP) is the backbone of any FedRAMP authorization package—but most SSPs are manually created, spreadsheet-heavy, and time-intensive to review and validate.

The C1 FedRAMP SSP Evaluator transforms the evaluation process by automating the import, analysis, and scoring of SSPs directly within ServiceNow IRM. Designed for Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) and Third-Party Assessment Organizations (3PAOs), this solution reduces the time, effort, and error rate associated with preparing SSPs for JAB or Agency review.

Key Features

OSCAL-Compatible SSP Ingestion

  • Automatically import and parse SSPs in OSCAL, FedRAMP’s preferred machine-readable format.
  • Supports manual XML upload or ServiceNow-native integration with SSP authoring tools.

Intelligent SSP Evaluation Engine

  • Automatically cross-references SSP responses with:
    • NIST 800-53 Rev 5 control expectations
    • FedRAMP control implementation summaries
    • Known 3PAO reviewer criteria
  • Flags incomplete or non-compliant responses and recommends corrections.

Risk Scoring and Gap Identification

  • Assigns preliminary risk ratings to each control based on SSP content completeness and quality.
  • Identifies high-risk controls, missing justifications, and vague implementation statements.

Dashboards & Reports

  • Provides real-time SSP health dashboards and exportable remediation plans.
  • Helps compliance teams prioritize work before 3PAO submission or JAB readiness review.

Seamless IRM Integration

  • Links SSP evaluations to ServiceNow control objectives, risks, and POAM items.
  • Enables pre-assessment collaboration between CSPs, 3PAOs, and internal teams in one platform.

Benefits

  • Accelerate FedRAMP Readiness
     Reduce manual SSP review time from weeks to days and improve control accuracy.
  • Increase Audit Preparedness
     Flag and resolve common SSP issues before they become 3PAO or PMO findings.
  • Boost Assessment Efficiency
     Help assessors focus on real risks, not formatting or vague control descriptions.
  • Improve SSP Quality Across Teams
     Ensure consistency and completeness whether the SSP is written internally or by a consultant.
  • Enable Continuous Review Cycles
     Use the evaluator for ongoing updates, not just initial submissions.

Use Cases

  • FedRAMP Moderate or High CSPs preparing for initial assessment or reauthorization.
  • 3PAOs performing pre-assessment SSP reviews.
  • Consultants creating SSPs for multiple clients and needing automated quality control.
  • CSP compliance teams looking to self-score and improve control documentation.
  • Organizations transitioning to OSCAL for their authorization workflows.

Customer Proof

“Before the C1 SSP Evaluator, reviewing our FedRAMP SSP meant weeks of spreadsheets, back-and-forth edits, and missed details. Now we get automated insights in minutes—flagging vague responses, risk hot spots, and issues that would have cost us in the 3PAO phase.”
— Director of Security Compliance, Cloud SaaS Provider Pursuing FedRAMP High
