Autonomous Compliance & Continuous RMF
Moving federal authorization from a point-in-time snapshot to a live, real-time posture. NIST RMF 2.0 encoded as policy, not paperwork.

From Point-in-Time Compliance to Real-Time Authorization
Traditional ATOs certify a system that no longer exists the day they're signed. Systems change, patches deploy, configurations drift — but the authorization package doesn't update until the next painful re-assessment cycle 12 to 18 months later. RDE's Continuous Authorization practice replaces the snapshot with a live feed. Your ATO boundary stays synchronized with your actual environment — always current, always defensible, always audit-ready.

IMPLEMENTATION APPROACH
6-Week Accelerated Path to cATO
Map NIST RMF 2.0 controls to automated evidence sources. Tag every control with an automated, manual, or hybrid collection method. Identify inheritance candidates across your system boundary.
Week 1 -2
Encode your security baselines as versioned, machine-executable policy objects. Every configuration deviation triggers an automated finding — no manual scanning required between assessment cycles.
Week 3 - 4
Live control inheritance mapping, real-time POA&M aging, and automated evidence packages. The full cATO picture for your Authorizing Official at any moment — not just on assessment day.
Week 5 - 6
Ongoing automated security governance: monthly control reviews, inheritance updates, and ATO boundary maintenance as your system evolves. Your compliance posture stays current without a re-assessment trigger.
