Blackfyre maps findings to the 298 NIST 800-53 controls it tracks · one of 9 frameworks in the platform.
How it works
From scan to audit-ready evidence.
The same pipeline that scores your NIST 800-53 posture also produces the artifacts an auditor asks for — no spreadsheet reconciliation. Blackfyre assesses and evidences posture; it never claims a certification on your behalf.
01 · Scan
55 auditors enumerate real resources across AWS, Azure, GCP and on-prem — plus Prowler and Checkov / Semgrep / Bandit as containerised scanners.
02 · Map
Every finding maps to the 298 NIST 800-53 controls it affects. A single misconfiguration can touch several controls at once — the mapping records each one.
03 · Score
Weighted per-framework scoring rolls findings into a posture score you track as your team ships fixes — no spreadsheet reconciliation.
04 · Evidence
Each result is written to a tamper-evident vault — SHA-256 integrity hash, S3 Object Lock, versioning — ready to hand to an auditor.
