Problem

SIMM 5300 runs on disconnected workflows

Implementing SIMM 5300 is difficult when control assessments, POA&M trackers, and certification evidence live in separate spreadsheets and shared drives. By the time your team assembles a SIMM 5330-B submission, the underlying data might be weeks old.

Solution

One platform for SIMM 5300 assessments, POA&Ms, and CDT certification

Isora GRC structures the workflows SIMM 5300 requires — control assessments mapped to NIST SP 800-53 and SIMM 5300-C, risk tracking and POA&M management, asset and vendor inventories, and certification reporting — in one connected workspace. Assessment findings flow into the risk register and POA&M tracker. Inventory records link to assessments and risks. Reports pull from live data and align to SIMM 5330-B submission requirements. The compliance record stays current because the work and the documentation happen in the same system.

Assessment Management

Run SIMM 5300-C maturity assessments mapped to NIST 800-53

Launch control assessments using prebuilt questionnaires aligned to SIMM 5300-C maturity levels and NIST SP 800-53 control families. Target agency departments, systems, and data repositories, and collect policies, configuration records, and access reviews inline so responses and proof stay connected. Recurring cycles show continuous improvement rather than annual sprints.

Inventory Management

Maintain connected asset, application, and vendor inventories

Every system, application, and vendor record links to its assessments, risks, POA&Ms, and documentation, with system ownership, data classifications, and vendor relationships tracked in one workspace. When scoping a SIMM 5305 assessment or preparing a SIMM 5330-B submission, the inventory is already current because maintaining it is part of the assessment workflow.

Risk Management

Turn assessment findings into tracked POA&Ms

Publish a control gap to the risk register and POA&M tracker as soon as an assessment identifies it. Every finding carries lineage back to the NIST 800-53 control it maps to, the SIMM 5300-C assessment that surfaced it, and the system it applies to. Assign owners, set remediation milestones, and track progress while an append-only audit log documents every action for CDT and OIS review.

Reports & Scorecards

Produce SIMM 5330-B certification packages from live data

Generate reports and certification evidence that pull from live assessment scores, POA&M status, risk register entries, and inventory records. Produce SIMM 5330-B annual certification packages for CDT and OIS without weeks of manual assembly, and drill into any metric to reach the assessment response and evidence behind it.

What does SIMM 5300 require from California state agencies?

The SIMM 5300 series requires agencies to align with SAM 5300 policy, implement security controls based on NIST SP 800-53, complete SIMM 5300-C maturity assessments, maintain Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms), and certify compliance annually through SIMM 5330-B. The California Department of Technology (CDT) and Office of Information Security (OIS) provide oversight. Isora GRC provides the assessment, risk tracking, POA&M management, and reporting workflows to operationalize these requirements.

How does Isora align with SIMM 5300-C maturity assessments?

Isora includes prebuilt questionnaires mapped to SIMM 5300-C maturity levels and NIST SP 800-53 control families. Agencies can launch maturity assessments immediately without building templates from scratch. Assessment scores track progress over time, giving agencies and CDT a clear view of maturity improvement across assessment cycles.

How does Isora handle POA&M management for SIMM 5300?

When assessments identify control gaps, findings publish directly to the POA&M tracker with full lineage — the control, the assessment, the system, and the responsible owner. Agencies track remediation milestones, update status, and document completion evidence in the same workspace. CDT and OIS can see current POA&M status without requesting a separate report.

How does SIMM 5300 relate to NIST SP 800-53?

SIMM 5300 builds on NIST SP 800-53 as its control foundation, adding California-specific parameters, oversight processes, and reporting requirements (SIMM 5300-C, SIMM 5305, SIMM 5330-B). Isora supports both the NIST 800-53 control assessments and the California-specific maturity and certification workflows in one connected platform.

Can Isora support SIMM 5330-B annual certification?

Yes. Isora generates certification packages from live assessment and risk data. Agencies produce SIMM 5330-B submissions with current control maturity scores, POA&M status, risk ratings, and remediation evidence — without manual compilation. Reports are always based on current data, not quarterly snapshots assembled after the fact.
