Fed/DoD Industry
Software security processes cannot scale

Manual processes for identifying, tracking, disseminating, and managing security and privacy controls overburdens subject matter experts and delays ATO.

Fed/DoD Industry
Limited security expertise

Security experts are scarce, and most security teams in the federal government are understaffed, and finding qualified candidates can take months .

Fed/DoD Industry
Weaknesses in application code and design

Inadequate application security practices in software designed for the U.S. Federal Government introduce significant risk.

Comply with U.S. Federal Government and DoD application security standards

Introduction to U.S. Cybersecurity Compliance Requirements

Additional Benefits

Prepare for Emerging Cybersecurity Threats in the Federal Sector

One of the key challenges is the rise of nation-state actors who pose significant risks by targeting sensitive government data and infrastructure. In addition, the rapid development and deployment of software that must comply with Authority to Operate (ATO) requirements adds pressure to federal agencies to maintain a robust cybersecurity posture.

Comprehensive Security Content Library for Federal Compliance

SD Elements provides an extensive content library specifically designed to support U.S. federal government standards and regulations. This library includes detailed security controls and best practices aligned with critical frameworks such as NIST RMF, NIST SP 800-53R5, FedRAMP, CMMC, and CNSSI.

Improve Federal Compliance Requirements with Automation

SD Elements automates the identification and implementation of security controls, reducing human error and ensuring consistency. While Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) systems typically provide only high-level guidance, SD Elements delivers detailed, actionable instructions that DevOps teams can easily understand and apply.
