Overview

JaMaxwell produces complete Authority to Operate packages for federal information systems. Deliverables include System Security Plans, Security Assessment Reports, Plans of Action and Milestones, configuration management plans, contingency plans, incident response plans, and all supporting artifacts required by NIST SP 800-37 and agency-specific guidance. We support initial ATOs, ATO renewals, and significant change requests.

Risk Management Framework Requirements

The NIST Risk Management Framework (SP 800-37 Rev 2) provides a disciplined process for managing security and privacy risk: Prepare, Categorize, Select, Implement, Assess, Authorize, and Monitor. JaMaxwell executes all seven RMF steps for federal information systems. We categorize systems against FIPS 199, select and tailor control baselines, implement controls with technical and procedural measures, conduct independent assessments, prepare authorization packages for AOs, and operate continuous monitoring programs.
