New automation tools tackle federal contracting bottlenecks as critical cybersecurity deadlines approach
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — Secureframe, the leading compliance automation platform, today unveiled Secureframe Federal, a comprehensive suite designed to help federal contractors meet CMMC 2.0 and FedRAMP 20x requirements.
Secureframe’s new suite eliminates documentation bottlenecks that threaten billions in federal contract awards. Recent Defense Contract Management Agency data shows that more than 40% of defense contractors currently lack adequate cybersecurity documentation, creating supply chain vulnerabilities and contract delays.
“Federal contractors are under growing pressure to prove cybersecurity readiness—and fast,” said Shrav Mehta, Founder and CEO of Secureframe. “Our Federal Suite turns what can be a months-long, resource-heavy process into an automated, continuous compliance capability that scales with your business—delivering less friction, more confidence, and faster results.”
Transforming Manual Processes Into Automated Compliance
Secureframe Federal introduces three integrated solutions that directly target the most resource-intensive aspects of CMMC 2.0 and FedRAMP 20x preparation:
- System Security Plan (SSP) Builder transforms the traditionally manual SSP creation process through pre-configured templates aligned with CMMC, FedRAMP, and other federal frameworks. The tool’s guided workflow significantly reduces documentation burdens and enables real-time SSP updates, allowing security teams to adapt quickly to changes in controls or architecture.
- Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) Manager provides structured remediation tracking that directly integrates with SSP control implementation statuses. This integration addresses a common audit failure point where organizations struggle to demonstrate continuous improvement and risk mitigation progress—a critical requirement for CMMC Level 2 certification and FedRAMP 20x authorization.
- Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) Score Generator delivers automated, real-time scoring based on current control implementations. Given that SPRS scores directly impact contract eligibility and performance evaluations, the tool’s continuous monitoring capabilities help contractors maintain competitive positioning in federal procurement processes.
Proven Results in Complex Compliance Environments
The suite’s impact is already evident among early adopters navigating federal requirements. David Hoenisch, Lead Cybersecurity Engineer at Manufacturing Consulting Concepts, recently completed a CMMC Level 2 assessment using Secureframe.
“When you’re dealing with 110 controls and around 320 control objectives, going into each platform to demonstrate how each control is being implemented and doing that continuously is a massive lift,” said Hoenisch. “Using Secureframe to get NIST 800-171 and CMMC compliant has saved us at least 500 hours over the past two years.”
Beyond time savings, contractors praise Secureframe’s partnership approach to compliance. “Based on what I’ve seen from other tools, a lot of them are more self-serve—you get access to the platform, but you’re largely on your own unless there’s a technical issue,” Hoenisch added. “With Secureframe, I genuinely felt like we had a partner in the process. They were in it with us and they cared about our success.”
Comprehensive Integrations to Federal Tech Stacks
Secureframe Federal connects directly with government-approved cloud environments including AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, and Microsoft GCC High. These integrations automate evidence collection—traditionally a manual, time-consuming process—while providing continuous security posture monitoring required for ongoing CMMC 2.0 and FedRAMP 20x compliance.
