CONTINUOUS ATO
Continuous ATO (cATO) helps new and established DevSecOps programs apply NIST’s Ongoing Authorization guidance so that software applications can inherit a development platform’s security authorizations. This allows developers to focus on building capabilities for their customers rather than on infrastructure and compliance. Dark Wolf’s cATO methodology incorporates tools and our experience delivering cATO accreditations the Air Force and Department of Veteran Affairs.
FAST TRACK ATO
A Fast Track ATO reduces the time for a security assessment from months to weeks through a focus on penetration testing. To execute a Fast Track ATO, we establish the Cybersecurity Baseline, perform a Risk Based Assessment primarily through a penetration test, and create a Continuous Monitoring Strategy. Fast Track ATO lets control assessors and Authorizing Officials focus on demonstrated, operational security rather than completed paperwork. We have delivered Fast Track ATO accreditations at the Department of Homeland Security.
