eMASS is the DoD's web-based system of record for managing RMF packages, controls, POA&Ms, and authorizations.
What is eMASS?
It's mandatory in many DoD environments but is widely felt to be workflow-heavy. Teams often bolt on separate tools to manage the work around it.
Why It Matters
Because eMASS is the system of record, anything that touches DoD authorization has to work with it, not around it.
How Advisedly Helps
Advisedly augments eMASS — it reads eMASS and crosswalks systems, controls, and POA&Ms, and replaces the bolt-on workflow engine (e.g., ServiceNow). It never replaces eMASS; deeper write-back is on the roadmap. See the eMASS approach.
