Problem

Disconnected tools make SIMM 5300 compliance unmanageable

California’s SIMM 5300 requires agencies to align with SAM 5300 policy, implement NIST SP 800-53 controls, complete SIMM 5300-C maturity assessments, and maintain POA&Ms. Most teams still track these requirements with spreadsheets, PDFs, and email threads.

This manual approach creates fragmented oversight because control assessments, inventories, and risk registers live in separate files, making certifications like SIMM 5330-B difficult to prepare. Evidence is often out of date by the time it reaches CDT or OIS. Adoption is low because ad hoc processes frustrate staff, leaving compliance gaps that surface only at audit time.

Agencies are left scrambling to pull everything together instead of managing compliance as a continuous program.

Solution

A GRC platform built for public sector security risk management operations

Isora GRC helps California agencies translate SIMM 5300 requirements into operational workflows. Instead of juggling spreadsheets and siloed tools, teams get a centralized system to run control assessments, maintain risk registers and POA&Ms, and generate audit-ready reports across departments. Designed to align with SAM 5300 policy, NIST SP 800-53 controls, and California’s SIMM standards (5300-C, 5305, 5330-B), Isora supports real-time oversight, audit readiness, and consistent reporting to CDT and OIS. Every workflow is structured, collaborative, and built to scale with your agency’s security responsibilities.

What software features are most important for SIMM 5300 compliance?

California SIMM 5300 Compliance Software is a purpose-built GRC platform that operationalizes the requirements of the State Administrative Manual (SAM 5300), Government Code §§11545-11549.4, and the Statewide Information Management Manual (SIMM 5300 series).

How can California agencies replace SIMM 5300 spreadsheets with automated workflows?

Manual tracking through spreadsheets makes SIMM 5300 compliance error-prone and time-consuming. Software automates repetitive tasks like distributing assessments, collecting evidence, tracking remediation, and generating reports. Instead of chasing updates across files, CIOs and ISOs gain one connected workspace where every SIMM requirement is organized, collaborative, and tied to a live risk program.

How does SIMM 5300 compliance software improve audit readiness for SIMM 5330-B reporting?

SIMM 5330-B requires agencies to certify their information security and privacy program annually with CDT and OIS. Compliance software helps by maintaining a live record of assessments, POA&Ms, and risks throughout the year. Reports and scorecards can be exported directly into evidence packages, ensuring submissions are accurate, consistent, and supported by real-time data rather than last-minute document collection.

Why is SIMM 5300 compliance different from other frameworks like NIST CSF or NIST 800-53?

While SIMM 5300 is built on federal standards like NIST SP 800-53 and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, it applies California-specific parameters and oversight processes. Agencies must not only implement the controls but also complete SIMM-specific forms, assessments, and POA&Ms, and certify compliance through SIMM 5330-B. Compliance software built for SIMM ensures these state-level requirements are addressed in addition to broader NIST alignment.
