Compliance Automation

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides answers to questions submitted by vendors regarding the Sources Sought for Compliance Automation.

• FedRAMP Requirements: FedRAMP Moderate may be sufficient, or FedRAMP High might be required, depending on the final build.
• Requirement Type: This is identified as a new requirement, with no incumbent currently supporting the mission.
• System Platform: The systems are not currently running on Platform One or Cloud One as part of the DODNet Migration. This is a brand-new endeavor with options open regarding platform.
• EMS System: EMS is not the current system, and there are no overlying systems. Interfaces may be beneficial.
• User Count: Initially, approximately 100 users are anticipated for DFAS, with potential for growth as a system of record for DoW.
• CAC Card: All users will require a CAC card.
• Continuous Monitoring: Over 100 systems will need continuous monitoring, with the possibility of adding more. Responsibility for entering information for continuous monitoring will likely fall to system personnel, such as system managers or information system security managers, potentially via an export from the current system of record.

This Q&A document clarifies key aspects of the potential requirement, including its newness, platform considerations, user base, and security requirements, which may influence vendor responses to future solicitations.

Notice of Sources Sought

The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) is seeking information on commercially available or near-market solutions for a comprehensive, automated cybersecurity compliance and authorization process. The goal is to streamline the current manual, document-centric, and time-intensive process by acquiring a platform that standardizes workflows, automates evidence collection, and provides real-time visibility into system compliance status. This aims to reduce administrative burden and ensure a robust security posture, potentially leading to a Continuous Authority to Operate (CATO).

• Guided assessment and data collection

• Automated workflow management

• Centralized evidence repository

• Dynamic documentation generation

• Continuous monitoring integration

• Compliance with relevant DoD security requirements for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)

• Interested sources should submit capability statements demonstrating experience in Compliance Automation, particularly for the Department of War.

• Capability statements should include recent contracts (last 3 years) with details on contract number, dollar value, period of performance, and scope of work.

• Vendors must address specific questions regarding their willingness to quote, solution overview, technical architecture, maturity, capabilities alignment, technical details (hosting, security, integration), implementation timeline, training/support, and Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) pricing.

• Responses should not exceed five pages.
