The Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL) allows security professionals to express control-related information in machine-readable formats.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has collaborated with NIST and the FedRAMP program to advance the adoption of OSCAL in the United States.
In Canada, the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS) has undertaken a project to encode relevant information in OSCAL to express cybersecurity requirements.
CCCS has created OSCAL profiles that assess the security of cloud services and has published OSCAL files on GitHub to support the Canadian security community.
