To achieve the goal of security assessment automation, reference data from various security frameworks must be converted into a standardized, machine-readable format to ensure interoperability among tools and to support data portability. The NIST Cybersecurity and Privacy Reference Tool (CPRT) contributes to this effort by providing reference data in a structured JSON format. CAPORDINO, a tool developed to complete the conversion process to OSCAL, builds on this foundation. This workshop will demonstrate how CAPORDINO ingests a selected framework from CPRT, maps its JSON data objects to OSCAL catalog structures, and generates a well-structured, valid OSCAL catalog.
