Workflow
From paperwork wall to assessor-ready in three steps.
A walkthrough of the Plainscope workflow.
Tell us how your organization operates.
Plainscope walks you through eight intake sections covering assessment scope, identity and access, endpoint management, logging and monitoring, incident response and training, physical security, personnel, and supply chain. Each section takes 3–5 minutes. Save and resume any time.
Plainscope drafts every control narrative.
Using your intake, Plainscope generates a 150–300 word implementation narrative for each of the 110 NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 controls. Every draft cites the specific intake answers it draws from. Where intake evidence is insufficient, Plainscope flags the gap and proposes follow-up questions instead of fabricating compliance.
Review, edit, attest, export.
Every drafted narrative is editable in a rich-text editor with full version history. Mark controls Implemented, Partially Implemented, Not Implemented, or Not Applicable. POA&M items auto-populate from any gaps. Export the SSP as Word and POA&M as Excel — both formatted for C3PAO assessor expectations.
