Self-Assessment, SPRS Score, SSP, POA&M Solution

Fast-track your journey to compliance with Certification Assistant, a cloud-based solution that guides you through your CMMC/NIST SP 800-171 self-assessment, calculating your Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) score and generating your System Security Plan (SSP).

Simplified Self-Assessment

Certification Assistant streamlines the entire CMMC/NIST SP 800-171 self-assessment process. With step-by-step guidance, it helps you navigate complex compliance requirements, reducing the time and effort needed to complete assessments accurately.

SPRS Score Calculation

Avoid manual errors and delays by letting Certification Assistant calculate your SPRS score as you progress through your assessment. This real-time scoring ensures accuracy and keeps you updated, allowing you to confidently submit your score to the SPRS system. With Certification Assistant, you maintain compliance with DoD requirements, giving you a competitive advantage when securing government contracts.

SSP and POA&M Creation

Generating a System Security Plan (SSP) and managing Plans of Action & Milestones (POA&M) can feel overwhelming. With Certification Assistant, your necessary documentation is automatically generated as you implement your controls, keeping your compliance tasks organized. The solution helps you stay on track by displaying POA&M status in the Dashboard Overview and sending automated reminders to responsible parties, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Centralized Compliance Management

With Certification Assistant, all your essential documents—assessments, evidence, and policies—are securely stored in a centralized, cloud-based platform. This centralization simplifies compliance management, allowing you to monitor progress and stay organized as you prepare for assessments. Additionally, the built-in workflows enable you to receive notifications and schedule tasks, such as uploading logs and evidence to support ongoing compliance.
