About ATO Evidence

An Authorization to Operate is a decision backed by paperwork. That paperwork confuses good teams every day. ATO Evidence walks through the package, the assessment, and the approval in the order they actually happen.

We write for system owners and engineers who need the ATO, not for auditors who already have one.

PolicyCortex is a cloud governance and compliance automation platform. It uses 33 collectors that read live Azure configuration. It connects to Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services. It reads live settings such as conditional access, diagnostic settings, Defender posture, backup, and firewall configuration. It checks those settings against NIST 800-53 and NIST 800-171 controls. It turns that evidence into SSP, SAR, and POA&M documents. It re-checks controls after you fix them. It is strongest in commercial Azure.
