# OSCAL Content Registry

## Welcome to the OSCAL Content Registry!

The team at [OSCAL.io](https://oscal.io/) believes open collaboration is key for the OSCAL community and as a result, has developed and published a public ***OSCAL Content Registry***. The *Registry* is a centralized platform dedicated to the storage, management, and dissemination of Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL) models. This content registry will serve as a crucial resource for organizations looking to implement, automate, maintain, and demonstrate compliance with various security standards and frameworks.

The *Registry* contains a partial implementation of the [draft proposal](https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EasyDynamics/oscal-rest/develop/viewer/index.html) by [Easy Dynamics](https://www.easydynamics.com/) of a REST API specification for interacting with [OSCAL models](https://pages.nist.gov/OSCAL/).

The *Registry* is available at [registry.oscal.io](https://registry.oscal.io/) and supports all seven OSCAL model types:

- [Catalogs](https://pages.nist.gov/OSCAL/learn/concepts/layer/control/catalog/)
- [Profiles](https://pages.nist.gov/OSCAL/learn/concepts/layer/control/profile/)
- [Component Definitions](https://pages.nist.gov/OSCAL/learn/concepts/layer/implementation/component-definition/)
- [SSPs](https://pages.nist.gov/OSCAL/learn/concepts/layer/implementation/ssp/)
- [Assessment Plans](https://pages.nist.gov/OSCAL/learn/concepts/layer/assessment/assessment-plan/)
- [Assessment Results](https://pages.nist.gov/OSCAL/learn/concepts/layer/assessment/assessment-results/)
- [POA&Ms](https://pages.nist.gov/OSCAL/learn/concepts/layer/assessment/poam/)
