System Security Plan (SSP)
The SSP is the blueprint of your clients’ CMMC compliance program. Totem contains a simple SSP workflow that follows the NIST SP 800-171A assessment objectives. Using this workflow, you can:
- Designate compliance status for each assessment objective
- Provide justification and evidence for compliance
- Describe shared responsibilities
- Generate an accurate SPRS score
- Add deficient assessment objectives to a POA&M
Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M)
The POA&M is your clients’ “get well plan”, outlining deficient assessment objectives and your strategy for remediation. Totem contains a simple POA&M workflow that allows you to:
- Build corrective action plans (CAP) for remediation
- Utilize pre-populated CAP templates for common deficiencies
- Assign responsible entities to corrective actions
- Automatically update assessment objective compliance status via CAP completion
- Create a Gantt Chart to visualize POA&M completion timeline
Totem™ is ideal for:
Defense contractors and subcontractors facing CMMC compliance
External service providers assisting defense contractors with CMMC compliance
Government Industrial Base members assisting with CMMC (APEX, MEP, NCMA, SBDC)
