Run your entire security program in one system
Risk, controls, policies, and assessments in one place, with SAM & SIMM reporting that comes straight out of your data.
A Program Spread Across a Dozen Spreadsheets
Risk lives in one workbook, controls in another, policies on a shared drive, incidents in a ticket queue. Security teams spend 20-30% of their time keeping those copies in sync. When leadership asks why one gap was funded ahead of another, answering means assembling records from several separate systems.
One Program, Organized Around Risk
Cytarian holds the whole program in one place: risk, controls, policies, incidents, assessments, and evidence. Risk is scored by likelihood and impact, so priorities are ranked rather than argued. What you can't remediate gets accepted on the record, with a named executive and a date. Reporting is generated from the same data.
The Whole Program, in One Place
Risk scoring sits at the center. Controls, policy, incidents, assessments, and reporting all run off the same data, so the program remains consistent without manual reconciliation.
Quantified Risk Register
Every risk is scored by likelihood and impact and ranked against the rest of the register, a defensible basis for what gets fixed first.
Risk Acceptance & Sign-Off
Record what you're not remediating and why, with the named executive, date, and rationale retained. The decision holds up long after the person who made it has moved on.
Unified Control Framework
Map controls once across SAM & SIMM, NIST 800-53, CSF 2.0 and more. Update in one place, reflect everywhere.
Evidence Collection
Gather and organize evidence against the controls it supports, reducing the manual effort required to respond to an assessor's request.
Policy & Procedure Library
Version control, with a clear view of which policies are current and where gaps exist.
Incident Tracking
Capture incidents, track response, and keep the records assessors expect. Incidents feed the risk register instead of living in a separate queue.
Assessments & Surveys
Deploy questionnaires to departments or control owners, then roll the responses up into the same register the rest of the program runs on.
Document Generation
Produce SSPs, POAMs, policies, and SAM & SIMM reporting on demand, pulled from your live control implementations rather than retyped each cycle.
Executive Dashboards
Program status, top risks, and open exceptions in a single view, suitable for a director briefing or a budget hearing, with no rebuilding required.
Built for California State Entities
California State Agencies
Cytarian is shaped around how a California information security program actually runs: the control set you're held to, the decisions you have to defend, and the reporting you owe.
- SAM & SIMM control mapping maintained alongside NIST 800-53
- Risk acceptance recorded with executive sign-off and retained rationale
- Documentation prepared for independent security assessments
- Emerging California mandates tracked, including GenAI governance
Federal Contractors
FedRAMP and CMMC authorization and continuous monitoring, with SSPs, POAMs, and deliverables managed alongside the risk they trace back to.
Healthcare Organizations
HIPAA, HITECH, and CMS safeguards tracked as controls, with risk assessments and policy management running on the same register.
Regulated Enterprises
NIST CSF, FedRAMP, and industry-specific requirements consolidated into one program instead of one workbook per framework.
Why Agencies Choose Cytarian
Sized for a State Security Budget
Deployed in weeks, without a dedicated implementation consultant or complex overhead. The capability you'd expect from a full program platform, at a number that survives the approval process.
Built by Practitioners
Designed by people who have run security programs, not modeled by people who have only sold to them. Cytarian follows how the work is actually sequenced: risk first, then controls, then the paperwork.
California from the Start
Cytarian is built around SAM and SIMM requirements, developed with an understanding of state procurement, and meets the security standards your agency is required to hold vendors to.
