RMF Output Validation & Security Disclaimer

Effective: August 31, 2026 · Last reviewed: August 31, 2026 · Calculated Ventures, LLC

Analyst validation is required. Do not treat generated results, mappings, scripts, or exports as an authorization decision or as automatically correct.

1. Decision-Support Tool

CalculatedIT RMF Accelerator produces analyst workpapers, mappings, suggested remediation information, scripts, and exports intended to accelerate cybersecurity and RMF-related workflows. It is not an Authorizing Official, assessor, auditor, government agency, or final source of compliance authority.

2. Independent Validation Required

Before remediation, POA&M/eMASS entry, audit use, assessment use, or authorization use, a qualified analyst must validate the underlying scan data, findings, STIG/control identifiers, severity, remediation guidance, script behavior, POA&M fields, dates, ownership, milestones, status, and export formatting against current authoritative requirements and the actual system environment.

3. Outputs May Be Incomplete or Incorrect

Scanner plugins, STIGs, controls, agency requirements, software versions, mappings, and system conditions change. Automated mapping can be incomplete, outdated, ambiguous, or incorrect. The absence of a finding does not establish compliance or the absence of risk.

4. No Compliance, Certification, or ATO Guarantee

The Service does not guarantee eMASS acceptance, an ATO, CMMC certification, NIST/DoD/agency compliance, audit success, vulnerability elimination, or acceptance by an Authorizing Official, Security Control Assessor, contracting officer, customer, or other reviewer. NIST's RMF places authorization decisions with authorized organizational officials, not with automated tools.

5. No Government Endorsement

CalculatedIT RMF Accelerator is a commercial product of Calculated Ventures, LLC. Unless expressly stated otherwise, it is not endorsed, sponsored, certified, or approved by NIST, DoD, DISA, eMASS, CMMC authorities, or any government agency. References to government frameworks, standards, systems, or acronyms are descriptive only.

6. Data Restrictions

Do not upload classified information, CUI, export-controlled technical data, credentials, private keys, PHI, payment-card data, malware samples, or other prohibited/high-risk information unless Calculated Ventures has expressly authorized that data type in writing for the specific service environment.

7. Remediation and Script Safety

Generated commands or scripts may change registry settings, services, permissions, configuration, network behavior, or other system state and may cause downtime or unintended effects. Do not execute them in production without qualified review, testing in an appropriate environment, backups, approved change control, and a rollback plan. High-impact, safety-critical, operational-technology, industrial-control, medical, life-safety, weapons, or similar environments require system-specific engineering review and authorization before any automated remediation is used.

8. Authoritative Sources

Use current authoritative requirements for final decisions, including applicable NIST publications, DISA STIG content, agency/contract requirements, system security plans, approved policies, and direction from responsible officials. If the Service conflicts with an authoritative requirement, the authoritative requirement controls.

9. Language, Translation, and Terminology

If the Service provides translated or localized explanatory text, the translation is provided for convenience and workflow support. Unless the applicable authority expressly provides otherwise, current authoritative NIST, DISA, DoD, agency, contract, scanner, and system documentation controls. Official control identifiers, STIG identifiers, plugin identifiers, field names, and other authoritative references should be preserved accurately even when explanatory text is translated.

10. Third-Party Standards and Content

References to NIST publications, DISA STIGs, scanner plugins, government systems, third-party software, standards, trademarks, or identifiers do not transfer ownership of those materials to Calculated Ventures and do not imply sponsorship or endorsement. Third-party materials remain subject to their applicable terms, licenses, and authoritative publication sources.

11. Customer Responsibility

You are responsible for determining whether outputs are suitable for your environment and for all decisions, changes, submissions, and representations made using Service outputs.
