RA5olver

NIST SP 800-53 · RA-5 Vulnerability Monitoring and Scanning

Governed AI for federal vulnerability management.

RA5olver places verification between AI and the analyst, so every recommendation on an RA-5 vulnerability decision arrives with its evidence status. Analysts rely on what the record supports and question what it does not.

The problem

Findings arrive faster than evidence can be checked.

Scanners find vulnerabilities faster than analysts can adjudicate them. AI assistance promises relief, but fluent output with no link to the authoritative record leaves the analyst guessing at the moment of decision, and errors pass through as easily as good answers.

How RA5olver works

The evidence speaks before the analyst decides.

Verified before it is shown

Each AI output is checked against the authoritative evidence record before it reaches the analyst.

Status at the point of decision

The analyst sees whether the record supports an output, contradicts it, or holds nothing on it.

Honest about gaps

When an output cannot be verified, RA5olver says so plainly rather than filling the gap.

Portrait of Dr. Ian Rivera, founder of RA5olver

RA5olver grows out of doctoral research on governed communication and appropriate reliance in NIST SP 800-53 RA-5 vulnerability management, and out of nine years as a contractor supporting vulnerability remediation, assessment and authorization, and continuous monitoring for the U.S. Department of the Interior.
