FedRAMP, demystified.
FedRAMP is a multi-year, multi-million-dollar program. We help cloud-service providers scope realistically, achieve readiness, and survive 3PAO assessment without the consultancy bloat.

What's included
Authorization path strategy
Agency sponsor vs. JAB. Realistic timeline. Cost envelope. The strategy call most engagements skip.
Boundary definition
Authorization boundary defined and documented to satisfy 3PAO scrutiny — a common cause of failed assessments.
Control implementation
NIST 800-53 baseline implementation. Most CSPs need significant engineering work here.
SSP and supporting documentation
System Security Plan and all supporting artifacts — the audit deliverable.
Continuous monitoring program
ConMon program built to satisfy post-authorization requirements.
3PAO support
Pre-assessment readiness review and through-assessment support.
Engagement lifecycle
- 01Phase 1
Strategy + boundary
Authorization path, sponsor strategy, boundary definition.
- 02Phase 2
Control implementation
Engineering and process work to meet baseline controls.
- 03Phase 3
Documentation
SSP and supporting artifacts to 3PAO-acceptable standard.
- 04Phase 4
Assess + authorize
3PAO assessment, P-ATO/ATO issuance, ConMon launch.
What you walk away with
- P-ATO or ATO at the targeted baseline
- Defensible authorization boundary
- Continuous monitoring program operating
- Federal sales eligibility
- Audit-evidence reusable for adjacent frameworks (NIST 800-53)
