Security and compliance teams in federal agencies and regulated organizations face significant manual effort when executing Risk Management Framework (RMF) activities. Tracking control implementation, gathering assessment evidence, and maintaining continuous monitoring across systems are time-consuming activities and difficult to scale. Teams need a way to streamline RMF processes within a single, centralized platform.

Solution

Q-Compliance helps streamline RMF processes by organizing and automating activities tied to the framework's six steps:

  1. Categorize systems
  2. Select security controls
  3. Implement controls
  4. Assess controls
  5. Authorize systems
  6. Monitor controls continuously

Using the Splunk platform as the analytics and visibility layer, teams can ingest relevant security and system data, monitor control performance, and support compliance assessments with more timely, actionable information. Q-Compliance reduces RMF assessment complexity by automating evidence collection and organizing control data into repeatable workflows, while the Splunk platform provides centralized continuous monitoring of security controls, system status, and operational risk.
