Kratos’ FISMA Readiness Assessment service enables an agency to assess its security program and degree of FISMA compliance ahead of annual reporting requirements. Performing such a proactive assessment allows ample time to address compliance gaps, prioritize efforts for maximum scorecard improvement and build a sustainable program for FISMA score consistency.
Kratos’ cybersecurity experts have expertise in assisting federal agencies with their FISMA compliance initiatives. Kratos instills confidence in an agency’s environment by evaluating activities against all scorecard categories – including annual testing, Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M), Certification & Accreditation (C&A), configuration management, incident detection and response, training, and inventory.
