ConMon is a monthly deadline, not an annual project.
The FedRAMP Moderate baseline, a POA&M register, scanner findings deduplicated into one queue, and boundary changes approved on the record — the operating rhythm that keeps an ATO alive.
Sound familiar?
Authorization was the easy part. ConMon is the part that never stops, and it is monthly.
Scan output arrives as raw scanner exports that nobody has time to reconcile against the POA&M.
A missed monthly submission is not a quality problem — it is a visible lapse in front of your authorizing official.
Significant change requests get raised late because nobody noticed the change qualified as significant.
Every deliverable is rebuilt from scratch each month because last month's package lives in someone's folder.
What continuous monitoring actually demands
FedRAMP authorization is not an event you finish. Once a package is authorized, the provider owes a continuous stream of evidence: monthly vulnerability scan results, monthly POA&M updates, annual assessment by a Third Party Assessment Organization, and a significant change request before — not after — meaningful changes to the boundary.
The operational burden after authorization is routinely larger than the effort to achieve it, and it is a different kind of work. Authorization is a project with an end date. ConMon is an operating rhythm, and the failure mode is not a bad control but a missed occurrence.
That is why ConMon tooling is a distinct problem from FedRAMP readiness tooling. Readiness asks whether the controls are designed. ConMon asks whether last month's deliverable went out on time, whether the scan findings reconcile to the POA&M, and whether the remediation dates you committed to are still the dates you are working to.

Governance, Risk & Compliance
Compliance
The full FedRAMP Moderate baseline — 20 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 control families — with the POA&M Register and ATO readiness trend on the FedRAMP dashboard.
Explore ComplianceGovernance
Boundary changes routed through the Change Advisory Board with the approval trail on the record, so a significant change is decided before it happens.
Explore GovernanceRisk
Scanner findings land in the vulnerability register via the scanner connector, deduplicated into one row per issue and tracked to verified closure rather than a status change.
Explore RiskWhat you'll be able to say.
What changes when Talarity is the system of record for the program — not the spreadsheets surrounding it.
Control weaknesses live in a POA&M register rather than a side spreadsheet
Scan findings reconcile into one deduplicated register instead of per-scan exports
Boundary changes carry an approval trail before they happen
Remediation cannot close without verification
ATO readiness is a trend you can show, not a number you rebuild

- Compliance·9 min readSave a security package once, send it on demandA prospect's security team asks for your SOC 2, your pen test, and your current security policies — again. Package Templates save that set as a reusable definition of pinned items plus rules like 'every current SOC 2 report', resolve it fresh each time you send, and hand it over as a redacted, watermarked, time-limited copy with a record of who received what.
- Compliance·6 min readSystem Configuration — turn a completed assessment into enforceable, drift-tracked baselinesEvery safeguard you scored in an assessment becomes an enforceable expected value. Talarity re-checks the observed state, flags drift, opens remediation automatically, and lets you attach evidence per control — so your controls stay implemented, not just documented once.
- Governance·6 min readExport and verify your audit trail for SOC 2Pull your full audit trail as a SOC 2 evidence file in any format, then prove it wasn't altered with a one-click tamper-evidence check — backed by a per-row hash chain and a Merkle root your auditor can re-verify offline.
- Compliance·8 min readPackage your audit evidence once — for the auditor, regulator, or customerAn auditor asks for your evidence and it's scattered across framework reports, vendor attestations, policy sign-offs, and resilience tests. Evidence Distribution Packages assemble the signed artifacts you already produced into one immutable package, then hand it to each audience as a redacted, watermarked, time-limited copy — with a record of who received what.
