A compliance lead at an organization that carries CJIS, IRS 1075, and NIST SP 800-171 has the same underlying requirement three times over: cryptography must be FIPS 140-3 validated. Proving it three separate ways, in three separate tools, with three separate evidence trails, is how compliance programs drown. The obligation is a combination, and the tool should treat it as one.
Capture once, satisfy each framework
| Where the FIPS 140 control appears | How Lavawall® handles it |
|---|---|
| CJIS SC-13, IRS 1075, 800-171, CMMC, FISMA | One piece of evidence, that cryptography runs through FIPS 140-3 validated modules, is mapped to the matching control in every framework you carry. |
| Continuous, not a snapshot | The control's posture is tracked continuously, so a lapse shows up before an auditor finds it. |
| The console under FIPS | The GRC console itself operates in FIPS mode and can require FIPS 140-3 validated login keys, so the system of record meets the bar it enforces. |
| Every framework included | Lavawall's Complete tier carries the whole framework catalogue, so adding the next regulated obligation does not add a per-framework fee. |
Why a combination platform wins here
Single-framework tools make you re-prove the same control every time a new obligation lands. Lavawall® is built for the buyer whose obligations do not fit inside one framework, which is exactly the buyer who has a FIPS 140-3 requirement in the first place. See Lavawall GRC for the engine, and the framework catalogue for what is covered.

Frequently asked
- Do I have to prove FIPS 140-3 separately for each framework?
- No. Lavawall captures the control once, that cryptography runs through FIPS 140-3 validated modules, and maps that single evidence item to the matching control in CJIS, IRS 1075, 800-171, CMMC, and FISMA.
- Is the GRC console itself FIPS compliant?
- In FIPS mode the console's cryptography runs through FIPS 140-3 validated modules, and it can require FIPS 140-3 validated login keys, so the system of record meets the same standard it tracks.
