Case Study: U.S. Federal Government Agency achieves continuous FISMA compliance and scalable automation with Resolver’s RiskVision platform

How a U.S. Government Agency achieves continuous compliance with FISMA requirements

A large U.S. federal agency responsible for over 20 million confidential records was failing to meet FISMA requirements because its home‑grown and commercial tools couldn’t scale. Manual Assessment & Authorization (A&A) processes generated millions of control results that were slow to analyze, error‑prone and effectively unusable, leading to data inaccuracy, missed audit deadlines and an inability to demonstrate continuous compliance.

The agency deployed Resolver’s IT Risk & Compliance (formerly RiskVision) platform to automate control mapping, real‑time detection and closed‑loop remediation. Within six months it reduced noisy data collection, focused on high‑risk issues, and automated reporting and POA&M workflows. The program now manages 1M+ network assets and 67M control checks, delivers audit‑ready reports on demand, and restored timely, accurate continuous compliance across FISMA, NIST SP 800‑53 and internal frameworks.
