How Safeguard covers StateRAMP

  • Scan requirements: 6, all decided by a scan.
  • Controls: the scan requirements below, plus 9 controls from Safeguard's control catalog for StateRAMP.
  • Automated tests: none map to it directly. You can link any automated test to its controls yourself (how).
  • Policy templates: 25: 3 written for StateRAMP and 22 from the standard set.

How each kind of coverage works, and what the readiness score counts: Compliance frameworks.

What a scan checks

Each scan of a product checks these 6 requirements against what the scan found, including the product's software inventory (SBOM).

RequirementWhat Safeguard checksDecided by
STRAMP-CM-8 System Component InventoryProviders must maintain an accurate inventory of the components of the authorized system, per the CM-8 control incorporated into StateRAMP baselines (StateRAMP baseline: NIST SP 800-53r5 CM-8)Scan
STRAMP-RA-5 Continuous Vulnerability ScanningContinuous monitoring requires monthly vulnerability scanning, which depends on components carrying identifiers matchable to vulnerability databases (StateRAMP continuous monitoring: NIST SP 800-53r5 RA-5)Scan
STRAMP-SR-4 Supply Chain DocumentationProviders must document the provenance of system components, including who produced the supply chain documentation itself (StateRAMP baseline: NIST SP 800-53r5 SR-4)Scan
STRAMP-SR-3 Supplier IdentificationSupply chain risk management processes require identifying the suppliers of system components (StateRAMP baseline: NIST SP 800-53r5 SR-3)Scan
STRAMP-SI-7 Software IntegrityIntegrity verification of software must be supported, requiring hashes for the components in the deployed system (StateRAMP baseline: NIST SP 800-53r5 SI-7)Scan
STRAMP-SI-2 Flaw Remediation DataTimely flaw remediation obligations require version data for all system components so patch applicability can be established (StateRAMP baseline: NIST SP 800-53r5 SI-2)Scan

More controls in the catalog

The framework's Controls tab lists its scan requirements and these controls from Safeguard's control catalog. Evidence them with automated tests, uploaded evidence, policies or an attestation.
