By industry · FedRAMP Continuous Monitoring

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.

What you're up against

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.

The reality

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.

How each capability fits

The capabilities, in your context.

The core — included with your package

Governance, Risk & Compliance

Included
Prove and audit

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 Compliance
Define, own, and validate

Governance

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 Governance
Analyze and quantify

Risk

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.

Outcomes

What 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
