Tactical Automation Layer

ACCIDENT

Automated Cybersecurity Compliance and Incident Response Tool

ACCIDENT — Automated Cybersecurity Compliance and Incident Response Tool — is PD INC's proprietary tactical automation layer built into the ClearSpring platform. It turns engineering activity into RMF evidence, incident-response actions, and DevSecOps project management visibility automatically, as a byproduct of the work already happening.

RMF evidence should not be an after-the-fact scramble. ACCIDENT is designed so SSP fragments, POA&M entries, test outputs, incident-response records, task status, and eMASS-ready artifacts are generated continuously — not assembled manually at authorization time.

Three Capabilities

More Than an RMF Tool.

ACCIDENT operates across three distinct domains simultaneously — compliance evidence, incident response, and project management. Each domain feeds the others, creating a continuous operational picture of security posture, delivery status, and authorization readiness.

RMF Evidence Automation

Compliance traceability and audit defensibility produced as a byproduct of engineering work — not assembled after the fact.

SSP fragment generation
POA&M entry automation
eMASS-ready artifact formatting
Control traceability mapping
Test output capture and tagging
Continuous evidence pipeline
Incident-Response Automation

Automated detection, response actions, and record-keeping for security events — reducing manual response burden and improving audit defensibility.

Automated response playbooks
Incident record generation
Event correlation and triage
Response timeline documentation
Integration with ESS and ACAS
After-action evidence capture
DevSecOps Project Management

Operational visibility into evidence status, remediation work, delivery progress, and authorization readiness — in a single tactical view.

Concept Overview

ACCIDENT Platform Architecture

ACCIDENT ingests data from disparate DoW systems — CMIS, eMASS, ACAS, IAVM, DITPR, JIRA/OP and more — normalizes and correlates it through a unified platform, and delivers actionable compliance, security, and mission-readiness outcomes.

How ACCIDENT Works

Engineering Work Becomes RMF Evidence.

ACCIDENT instruments the ClearSpring platform — intercepting pipeline events, security scan outputs, deployment actions, and incident signals — and transforms them into structured compliance artifacts and project management records automatically.

01
Instrument

ACCIDENT instruments the ClearSpring SaaS layers — CI/CD pipeline, security scanners, ICAM, ESS, ACAS, and infrastructure events are all captured.

02
Classify

Events are classified against RMF control families, POA&M categories, and incident-response playbooks automatically — no manual tagging required.

03
Generate

SSP fragments, POA&M entries, eMASS-ready artifacts, and incident records are generated in real time as engineering work proceeds.

04
Surface

Authorization readiness scores, remediation task queues, delivery milestones, and evidence completeness are surfaced in a unified tactical dashboard.

Compliance Value

Authorization Readiness, Continuously.

Traditional RMF processes treat evidence collection as a phase that happens before authorization. ACCIDENT inverts this — evidence is a continuous output of the engineering process, so authorization readiness is a live state, not a sprint.

SSP Fragments

System Security Plan fragments generated per control family as engineering work maps to controls.

POA&M Automation

Plan of Action and Milestones entries created automatically from scan findings, with remediation tracking built in.

eMASS-Ready Artifacts

Evidence formatted for direct eMASS submission — reducing manual reformatting and submission preparation time.

Audit Defensibility

Complete chain of custody from engineering event to compliance artifact — every record timestamped, attributed, and traceable.

Platform Context

ACCIDENT in the Product Equation.

ACCIDENT is the tactical automation layer that connects the ClearSpring platform to the DISA Capability Factory's authorization posture. It is not a standalone product — it is the mechanism by which engineering work inside DCF produces continuous RMF evidence and operational visibility.

The Platform
ClearSpring

GovCloud-like SaaS platform for DoW RDT&E. ACCIDENT instruments ClearSpring's SaaS layers to capture engineering events.
