Day 28: From Gaps to Gains—How POA&Ms Drive Real Cyber Progress

With 28 days left, it’s time to rethink POA&Ms—not as a formality, but as a strategic weapon in your compliance arsenal.

A well-built Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) does more than document gaps. It drives accountability, prioritizes fixes, and shows assessors you’re serious about cybersecurity maturity.

3 Ways POA&Ms Accelerate Progress:

• They turn vague risks into actionable tasks
• They align remediation with your SSP and SPRS score
• They help leadership track progress across departments

Pro Tip: Don’t wait for an audit to build your POA&M. Start now and update it weekly.

Valeo Networks enables defense contractors to create POA&Ms that are actively utilized, not simply archived.
