This final entry in our 3-part series shows how to maintain ongoing compliance through scalable DAST workflows. Passing the audit is just the beginning—true success lies in year-round readiness.
Key Principles:
- Consistency: Monthly or quarterly scans with tracked outcomes
- Coverage: Ensure all in-scope apps and APIs are included
- Documentation: Keep evidence centralized, organized, and versioned
- Integration: Link DAST to ticketing, asset management, and reporting tools
Workflow Recommendations:
- Schedule recurring scans with pre-defined scope
- Automate token refresh and scan result archiving
- Export findings directly to POA&M management systems
- Flag regressions by comparing scan deltas over time
Metrics to Monitor:
- Time-to-remediation
- Number of assets scanned vs. in inventory
- Scan success rate (auth/auth failures)
- Coverage change over time
Final Takeaway:
FedRAMP and StateRAMP compliance is a moving target. But with the right DAST strategy, you can move from reactive reporting to confident, continuous compliance.
