Issues and Remediation Activities – Paramify

Issues and Remediations are crucial in Paramify. They help you track, manage, and resolve problems efficiently. Think of Issues as your to-do list of problems, and Remediation Activities as the action steps to fix them. This keeps your compliance process smooth, organized, and ensures nothing slips through the cracks. Issues are how POAM items are managed within Paramify.

They can now be managed and configured on the Workspace and Program level.

Imagine you have multiple Programs in your Workspace. You now have the option to view all of the Issues and Remediation Activities associated to your entire Workspace, or for a specific Program within your Workspace.

Introduction

Assigning Multiple Issues to a Program

You can also assign multiple Issues at once to be associated to more Programs.

1. Select Controls: Select the Controls you want to migrate to a different Program.

2. Click the "Actions" menu to access available options for program management.

3. Click "Assign Program" to initiate the process of linking a program to your configuration.

4. Selecting Programs: Click the Program you want to migrate the Issues to.

**You are only able to assign multiple Issues to a single Program at a time.

You can customize which columns you want to be displayed for the Issues by clicking the square on the right side of the Issues page. These columns provide information of the Issues.

If you select "Program", you can see the Programs Associated to the Issues.

You can do this in the Program level as well.

Remediation Activities

ID Prefixes

In the Workspace level settings, you can customize the ID prefixes for Evidence, Issues, and Remediations. The Evidence ID is universal to all Programs in the Workspace, so this will have the same prefix for all Evidence in all of the Programs.

To change the Issues and Remediation prefixes, you will first have to select the Program you want to configure. Once that is selected, then you can customize the prefix IDs.

(Example)

If I want to customize the prefix IDs for one of my Programs named "FedRAMP", I will select that as my Program. Then, I can make the prefix for Issues as "FED" and the prefix for Remediations as "FED-REM".

1. Navigate to the Workspace settings --> General, and scroll to the ID Prefixes section.

2. Select the Program for which you want to customize the prefix IDs.

Once you selected it, you can set the prefix for Issues and Remediations for that Program.

When you make a new Issue or Remediation in a Program, it will be named with the prefix ID following a "-" then a number incrementally. Using the example above, if you currently have 1000 Issues in a Program named "FedRAMP", the next new Issue will be named "FED-1001". The same goes for Remediations. If you currently have 1000 Remediations in the Program named "FedRAMP", the next new Remediation will be named "FED-REM-1001".

One thing worth noticing is that if you delete all of the 1000 Issues or Remediations and then make a new one, that new Issue or Remediation's ID will still use the incremented number. So the new Issue created after deleting the 1000 Issues will be named FED-1001, and so forth.

Remediation Toggle View

In the Remediation page within a Program, you can view all of the Remediations associated with the Program. From that same page, you can also view all of the Remediations associated with the whole Workspace. This can be done by turning on the "Show Workspace Remediation" toggle. This is helpful when you want to access, view, and configure the Remediations that are associated with other Programs without moving to the Workspace level page.

Below are the instructions on how to turn on the toggle.

1. Navigate to the Remediation page within your Program.
