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).
| Requirement | What Safeguard checks | Decided by |
|---|---|---|
STRAMP-CM-8 System Component Inventory | Providers 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 Scanning | Continuous 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 Documentation | Providers 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 Identification | Supply chain risk management processes require identifying the suppliers of system components (StateRAMP baseline: NIST SP 800-53r5 SR-3) | Scan |
STRAMP-SI-7 Software Integrity | Integrity 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 Data | Timely 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.
