Compliance

DCIT Compliance Engine

Stop writing compliance docs. Start generating them from your pipeline.

Compliance isn't a documentation burden—it's an automated runtime feature. 508 scans, SBOM updates, and POA&M tracking happen before your app hits production.

Automating Federal Compliance at Enterprise Scale

Federal agencies spend thousands of labor hours each year on compliance activities that add no mission value: manually running STIG checklists against hundreds of servers, copy-pasting control narratives into Word documents, and shepherding ATO packages through months of review cycles. For agencies managing large application portfolios, the compliance burden scales linearly while budgets do not—creating a backlog that delays modernization and exposes the agency to audit findings.

DCIT Compliance Engine transforms compliance from a periodic documentation exercise into a continuous, automated runtime capability. STIG scans execute on every build. RMF artifacts—SSPPs, POA&Ms, and control implementation statements—are generated directly from pipeline telemetry and infrastructure configuration, not manually authored. NIST SP 800-53, FISMA, and FedRAMP control mappings stay current because they reflect actual system state rather than point-in-time snapshots.

At the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Compliance Engine reduced ATO cycle times by 90% across a portfolio of 100+ applications. Continuous monitoring dashboards replaced quarterly audit scrambles, and ISSOs shifted from document authors to risk decision-makers—the role they were always meant to fill.

The Difference

Without Compliance Engine

  • 508 compliance tested manually at end of project
  • No SBOM tracking or vulnerability monitoring
  • STIG compliance checked during audits only
  • RMF artifacts created manually in Word docs
  • ATO process takes 12-18 months
  • Compliance gaps discovered during audits

With Compliance Engine

  • 508 testing automated in every CI/CD pipeline
  • SBOM generated in every build with continuous monitoring
  • Continuous STIG scanning with automated remediation tracking
  • RMF artifacts auto-generated from pipeline data
  • Continuous ATO monitoring reduces cycle to weeks
  • Real-time compliance dashboard with proactive alerts

STIG Compliance Scanning

Continuous STIG scanning with remediation tracking and automated deviation documentation.

04

RMF Artifact Automation

Auto-generate SSPPs, POA&Ms, and control mappings from your pipeline data—no manual documentation.

05

Continuous ATO Monitoring

Real-time dashboard tracking compliance posture across all applications in your portfolio.

06

Vulnerability Management

Automated vulnerability discovery, prioritization, and remediation tracking across your entire application portfolio.

Accelerating Your ATO Process

1

Compliance Baseline Assessment

We map your current compliance posture against NIST RMF, FISMA, and agency-specific requirements. This identifies which controls are already satisfied by your infrastructure and where automation will deliver the greatest time savings.

2

STIG Automation Setup

We integrate continuous STIG scanning into your CI/CD pipelines so every build is validated against applicable benchmarks. Remediation guidance and deviation tracking are automated, eliminating manual checklist reviews.

3

RMF Artifact Generation

Compliance Engine connects to your pipeline telemetry, infrastructure configuration, and scanning results to auto-generate SSPPs, POA&Ms, and control implementation statements. Artifacts update continuously as your systems change.

4

Continuous Monitoring Activation

Real-time dashboards track your compliance posture across every application in the portfolio. Proactive alerts notify your ISSO when a control drifts out of compliance, before an auditor discovers the gap.

5

ATO Package Delivery

We compile the complete, auto-generated artifact set into an ATO-ready package formatted for your authorizing official. Ongoing continuous monitoring data supports a living ATO model that reduces future reauthorization effort.

DCIT Compliance Engine FAQ

No. It empowers your ISSO with automated tools and real-time data. Instead of manually creating compliance artifacts, your ISSO reviews auto-generated documentation and focuses on risk decisions.

Our scanning tools can authenticate into your applications and test all protected pages, not just public-facing content. This ensures full coverage of accessibility requirements.

We support NIST RMF, FedRAMP, and agency-specific ATO frameworks. The platform generates the specific artifacts required by your authorizing official.

Yes. Compliance Engine integrates with your existing SAST/DAST tools, vulnerability scanners, and compliance management platforms.

508 compliance testing can be integrated into your pipelines within 2 weeks. Full RMF artifact automation typically takes 4-6 weeks to configure for your specific compliance requirements.
