What is FedRAMP?
FedRAMP, the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, provides a standardized approach for secure cloud services across federal departments and agencies.
Who needs FedRAMP?
FedRAMP is mandatory for cloud service providers (CSPs) that process, store, or collect federal information.
Consulting & program assistance
Our independent team of FedRAMP advisors helps your organization prepare for your upcoming FedRAMP assessment and authorization. We assist with implementing appropriate controls, documenting control implementation within the SSP package, and consulting assistance throughout the FedRAMP process.
Readiness Assessment
We review your environment and determine if it is technically capable of meeting FedRAMP requirements resulting in a FedRAMP Readiness Assessment Report (RAR). This assessment can be used to understand technical gaps, be submitted to FedRAMP to achieve the FedRAMP “Ready” designation on the Marketplace or used to apply for JAB Sponsorship.
Security assessment
We ensure you have the proper controls in place and assess them to ensure you meet FedRAMP requirements by using Federal Information Process Standard (FIPS) Models for low, moderate, or high-impact organizations.
Annual assessments
We provide manual assessments that include penetration testing, select control assessments, systems scanning, and more to ensure your organization has maintained compliance with FedRAMP requirements.
Significant change request assessments
We review and assess any significant changes that may impact your compliance to FedRAMP requirements for FedRAMP authorized systems through SCR assessments as needed.
