FedRAMP

FedRAMP is the most demanding authorization in compliance — and the gateway to federal revenue. Agency's U.S.-based forward-deployed engineers + AI operate your program end-to-end, from SSP through 3PAO and continuous monitoring, without adding headcount.

Where pure automation breaks down, Agency operates.

Overview

The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is the U.S. government's standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services used by federal agencies. FedRAMP authorization is required for any cloud service provider (CSP) that wants to sell to the federal government.

The framework is based on NIST SP 800-53 controls and involves a rigorous assessment process conducted by a Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO).

FedRAMP authorization is one of the most demanding compliance certifications in existence — and one of the most valuable for unlocking federal revenue.

At ~325 controls, FedRAMP is where pure automation breaks down — it can flag findings but can't write your SSP or carry your 3PAO assessment. Agency's U.S.-based, forward-deployed engineers operate the entire program for you.

Who Needs FedRAMP

Any cloud service provider seeking to serve U.S. federal agencies must achieve FedRAMP authorization. Organizations selling to state and local governments increasingly accept FedRAMP as well.

Technology & SoftwareSaaS, PaaS, and IaaS providers pursuing federal contracts must achieve FedRAMP authorization at the appropriate impact level (Low, Moderate, or High).

GovernmentGovernment technology contractors and integrators providing cloud-based services to federal agencies.

Aerospace & AviationDefense technology companies and aerospace contractors providing cloud services to DoD and civilian agencies.

Critical InfrastructureProviders of cloud-based infrastructure management, monitoring, and security tools serving federal networks.

Health & Life SciencesHealthtech companies serving federal healthcare agencies (VA, HHS, DoD health systems) that require FedRAMP-authorized cloud services.

Financial ServicesFintech companies serving Treasury, IRS, or other federal financial agencies.

Key Challenges

Six places FedRAMP programs stall

Audited Compliance FedRAMP Moderate requires approximately 325 controls with extensive documentation, including a System Security Plan (SSP), Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M), and continuous monitoring deliverables. Manual documentation and evidence management at this scale is prohibitive.

Cross-Framework Complexity FedRAMP's NIST 800-53 controls overlap with SOC 2, ISO 27001, CMMC, and HIPAA. Organizations pursuing multiple federal and commercial certifications face massive duplication without cross-mapping.

Fragmented Governance FedRAMP touches every layer of the organization: infrastructure, application, identity, physical security, personnel, and incident response. Coordinating governance across all of these domains requires centralized oversight.

Vendor Risk FedRAMP requires that all third-party services used by the CSP also meet FedRAMP or equivalent security requirements. Supply chain risk management is a critical control area.

Remote Workers Federal systems require strict access controls and monitoring for remote access, including multi-factor authentication, encrypted connections, and session management.
