What Is CSAR®?

CSAR® simplifies the path to Authorization to Operate (ATO) approval through automation and advising, supporting the Prepare and Categorize System steps of the Risk Management Framework (RMF).

CSAR® employs an automation driven modular approach while keeping a human-in-the-loop to actively review applications for accuracy and provide feedback, guiding the user forward to a “mature cyber environment” and on path toward an authorization decision. The entire experience offers refined processes to reduce chance of errors, confusion, and fatigue.

CSAR® presents form questions in easy, manageable sections and eliminates question redundancy. CSAR® provides question level feedback, helping users understand the impact of their answer choices on their timeline to package submission and risk of package return.

Intuitive Dashboard

One easy-to-navigate dashboard provides clarity and focus, allowing users to track the status of applications, package progress, timeline submission, and critical information.

Human-in-the-Loop

With the included RMF Advisory Services, users will be working with a Support Expert who are there from the beginning to assess needs, customize process solutions, and help clear milestone “checkpoints.”

Mapping of Mandatory Forms

CSAR® eliminates redundancy with automation and distinct, easy to manage form completion. Answer once, and all sections of the corresponding mandatory ATO forms (such as the ITCSC, PIA, and PCIL) are filled out with ease.

Cyber Plans & Playbooks

CSAR® gives users access to customizable templates to streamline the RMF Plan development process, positioning users for a successful entrance into the RMF lifecycle.
