Cyber threats are evolving at machine speed. Manual compliance can't keep up. CATOA is your air-gapped AI analyst — deployed inside your enclave to perform continuous RMF assessment, narrative generation, and POA&M triage with zero cloud dependencies.
Adversaries are using AI to discover vulnerabilities, generate exploits, and move through networks faster than any human team can respond. Meanwhile, your ISSOs are still writing control narratives by hand.
Nation-state actors and advanced threat groups are deploying AI to automate reconnaissance, craft targeted exploits, and evade detection at scale. The threat clock runs in milliseconds.
Your cybersecurity team is assessing 400+ controls with spreadsheets and copy-paste narratives. Assessments that should take hours take months. Compliance drift goes undetected between cycles.
Every day the gap between threat speed and defense speed grows. You're not falling behind because your team isn't good enough — you're falling behind because the threat is automated and your defense isn't.
CATOA is a Continuous ATO Agent — purpose-built AI that ingests your eMASS data, maps controls to CCIs, and performs intelligent assessment against NIST 800-53 Rev 5. It thinks like your best ISSO, works around the clock, and never leaves the enclave.
Identifies missing or miscategorized controls, weak narratives, inconsistent implementation statuses, and control inheritance gaps across your entire authorization boundary — continuously.
Creates system-specific implementation statements that reference your actual architecture — not generic boilerplate. Every narrative is SSP-ready and grounded in your data.
Flags overdue items, scores closability based on existing evidence, suggests remediation actions, and prioritizes by operational risk — not just CVSS score.
Native ingestion of eMASS exports. CATOA generates assessment packages your analysts review and approve, then exports back to eMASS-formatted deliverables ready for AO submission.
CATOA runs entirely inside your enclave. Local LLMs. Local vector search. Local data. No data ever leaves your authorization boundary. Your AI defender stays where the mission lives.
eMASS exports, CKL/XCCDF parsers, STIG checklists, artifact repository
Local LLMs via Ollama, RAG with NIST/CNSSI corpus, prompt-engineered assessment chains
Review, accept, edit AI outputs. Human-in-the-loop validation. Nothing ships without analyst approval.
eMASS-formatted Excel, PDF reports, assessment packages ready for AO submission
CATOA turns your ISSOs into force multipliers — reviewing AI-generated assessments instead of writing from scratch, triaging flagged gaps instead of hunting through spreadsheets.
Multiple enclaves, minimal staff. CATOA handles the repetitive cross-referencing across authorization boundaries. Your analysts handle judgment calls.
Continuous, not periodic. Stop treating ATO as a one-time event. CATOA monitors your control posture and flags drift in real time — matching the pace of evolving threats.
Defensible to your AO. Every AI-generated output includes traceability to source evidence and NIST control language. Full audit trail, full accountability.
Deployed, not sold. CATOA is a managed capability — appliance plus engineering services. We configure, tune, and validate alongside your team.
Adaptt's founding team brings deep operational experience across Space Force, DoD cybersecurity, and RMF authorization at the program level.
Whether you need RMF services today or want to deploy CATOA in your enclave, we're ready to talk.
