What's New in TECTIX™ 2.7: Local AI for RMF, With People in Control

Risk Management Framework (RMF) work runs on evidence. Every assessment decision, every finding, and every Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) has to trace back to something a reviewer can see and defend. 

TECTIX is Markon's proprietary solution for managing RMF assessments, evidence, and authorization workflows. Through automation that keeps evidence visible and people in control, TECTIX helps teams move through the RMF process with greater efficiency. Version 2.7 builds on that foundation with four major additions:

1. Local AI customized for RMF that inspects diagrams, images, and paperwork
2. Human-reviewed POA&M generation with signature tracking through the review chain
3. Customizable PowerPoint briefings built from live TECTIX data
4. Enterprise identity integration, including CAC authentication

Here's what's new and how it helps teams move from evidence to authorization with less manual effort while maintaining accountability.

AI That Shows Its Work

Automation helps RMF teams when they can trust the results. In TECTIX 2.7, every decision shows the data used to reach it, and a person can override any decision.

Reviewers can inspect supporting evidence, validate results, and change a pass or fail outcome when their judgment differs. Full logging maintains a chain of custody, ensuring every result, its reasoning, and any human changes remain traceable for later review.

Inspect More Than Documents

Evidence isn't limited to text. TECTIX 2.7 uses local AI to perform deep inspection of diagrams, images, and paperwork. Because the AI runs locally, it supports environments where sending evidence to an outside service isn't an option.

Performance has been verified against a broad testing set. Teams can choose between two validated configurations, AI High and AI Lite, to meet their needs.

From Findings to Reviewed Action

Writing POA&Ms is one of the most time-consuming parts of RMF. TECTIX 2.7 drafts them while keeping people in control of the review process.

For each finding, reviewers see recommended POA&M wording alongside alternatives and supporting context. They can accept the recommendation, choose an alternative, or reject the suggestion before applying any content.

Keep Follow-Up Work Moving

Remediation doesn't stop at the POA&M. Automated ticket generation provides editable AI-assisted drafts, allowing teams to open follow-up work quickly and adjust details before assignment.

Briefings Built From Live Data

Leadership needs visibility into RMF progress, and building briefings by hand takes time away from mission-critical work. The new slide customization menu in TECTIX 2.7 builds PowerPoint briefings directly from live TECTIX data.

Teams can choose a theme, customize titles and logos, and select and reorder the charts that matter most to their audience. A preview shows the design before export.

Connect to Your Enterprise

TECTIX 2.7 strengthens authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA), including support for Common Access Card (CAC) authentication. Integrations support Active Directory, Okta, LDAPS, and the most common identity providers, with an import system to bring existing users and roles into TECTIX.

Deploy With Confidence

A new advanced deployment wizard automates setup. Infrastructure hardening aligns with security best practices, and network segmentation strengthens separation between services. TECTIX 2.7 also introduces a polished, flat interface and updated Markon naming across the platform, with additional branding updates to follow.
