# Cybersecurity Risk Assessment with AI

Government cybersecurity operates within a dense framework of requirements: NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, FISMA, CMMC, state-specific standards, and sector-specific regulations for systems handling law enforcement, health, or financial data. Risk assessment is the foundation of all of these frameworks, and it is overwhelmingly a documentation challenge.

The Documentation Burden

A typical government risk assessment involves: - Cataloging all systems and data flows - Identifying threats relevant to each system - Evaluating existing controls against a control catalog (often 300+ controls) - Documenting gaps and residual risks - Creating Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms) for unaddressed risks - Writing risk acceptance memos for risks leadership chooses to accept

This documentation takes hundreds of hours. AI cannot do the assessment for you — it cannot scan your network or test your controls — but it can dramatically reduce the writing time.
