WPF (Workflow Process Framework)

The Workflow Process Framework (WPF) is a governance and process-automation platform used to standardize, enforce, and track cybersecurity and compliance-related workflows required for NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 and CMMC Level 2.

WPF provides structured, auditable workflows to ensure that required security and compliance activities are performed consistently, documented, approved, and retained.

Core Capabilities

• Workflow automation for security and compliance processes (e.g., access requests, account provisioning/deprovisioning, incident handling, change management, risk acceptance)
• Role-based approvals and segregation of duties
• Task assignment, status tracking, and escalation
• Evidence generation and retention tied to specific CMMC practices
• Time-stamped audit trails demonstrating execution of required procedures
• Integration with compliance documentation and monitoring tools

WPF supports CMMC Level 2 by providing objective evidence that required processes are:

• Defined (documented procedures)
• Implemented (executed workflows)
• Managed (tracked, reviewed, and approved)
• Auditable (verifiable records and logs)

WPF is commonly used to support practices across multiple domains, including:

• Access Control (AC) – account requests, approvals, removals
• Incident Response (IR) – incident intake, triage, response tracking
• Configuration Management (CM) – change requests and approvals
• Risk Management (RM) – risk identification, acceptance, and remediation workflows
• Personnel Security (PS) – onboarding and offboarding processes

Assessment Value

WPF helps organizations demonstrate process maturity and repeatability, reducing reliance on informal or
