FAQ

+ How different is your solution from other industrial security ones? 

Unlike homegrown office automation solutions  or enterprise case management software or broad low-code / no-code solutions, Fresh Haystack is COTS platform that addresses all the key pressure points as they are felt and necessary of keeping the bad guys out and compliance levels high, while closing critical gaps in time to market.


+ When it is a good time to start preparing for Trusted Workforce 2.0?

Status quo is not an option. We already have deployed some of the TW2.0 capabilities to our customers and have built preconfigured and customizable workflows for new vetting scenarios.

+ Can we develop similar solution using LCAP/NCAP tools? 

Designed for modularity, so you can get what you need when you need it, Fresh Haystack modernizes risk management for the national security and has all pre-configured, benchmarked workflows.

+ Is Fresh Haystack cloud ready? 

Yes, Fresh Haystack is cloud ready and has been deployed to both AWS and Azure Gov Clouds. We achieved FedRAMP and FISMA High ATO and are ready for submission of all paperwork including SSP, PenTest, etc. We also have received independent 3rd party SOC2 approvals for last few years. 

+ Is Fresh Haystack mobile ready?

Fresh Haystack is mobile browser ready and could potentially be compiled as a native application for iOS/Android.

+ How easy is it to modify existing workflows?

Our screen and workflow designer allows to change workflows tasks/phase, SLAs, notifications / escalations as well as create new workflows.

 

 


+ How long does it takes to make Fresh Haystack operational?

Capability is preconfigured and packaged for accelerated delivery - a fraction of the time in most cases. Reliable and trustworthy automation frees our customers from time-consuming ‘build, deploy and manage’ tasks so they can focus on the next. 

 

 


+ How flexible are provided out-of-the-box risk models? 

Our flexible risk models enable our customers to change and fine-tune their risk models to their needs. Adjusting risk baseline vetting score or adding a new rule is a trivial configuration change.

 


+ How can our organization use data collected in Fresh Haystack for the whole enterprise?

Fresh Haystack data is stored in the MS SQL server database. We make most common data views available for enterprise customers and allow them to connect Power BI, Tableau, Qlik or any other business intelligence / analytical tools.
