FedRAMP

FedRAMP Authorization

The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program is the gold standard for cloud security in the federal government. Our team has guided dozens of cloud service providers through the FedRAMP authorization process — from initial readiness assessments to achieving and maintaining their Authority to Operate.

  • Readiness assessments and gap analysis
  • System Security Plan (SSP) development
  • Security control implementation guidance
  • 3PAO assessment preparation and coordination
  • Agency sponsorship strategy
  • Continuous monitoring program design

FedRAMP Impact Levels

Low

For systems handling low-impact data where loss would have limited adverse effect.

Moderate

The most common baseline, covering systems where loss could have serious adverse effects.

High

For the most sensitive unclassified data where loss could have severe or catastrophic effects.

ATO & RMF

Authority to Operate & Risk Management Framework

The NIST Risk Management Framework provides the foundation for federal cybersecurity. We guide organizations through every step of the RMF process, from system categorization through authorization and continuous monitoring — ensuring your system earns and maintains its Authority to Operate.

  • NIST 800-53 control selection and tailoring
  • Security documentation (SSP, SAR, POA&M)
  • Security control assessment preparation
  • Authorizing Official briefing support
  • POA&M management and remediation tracking
  • Ongoing authorization support
DoD Impact Levels

DoD Cloud Security: IL4, IL5 & IL6

Department of Defense workloads require the highest levels of cloud security. Our team specializes in helping cloud service providers achieve and maintain compliance at DoD Impact Levels 4, 5, and 6 — enabling them to host Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), National Security Systems, and classified information in the cloud.

  • DoD Cloud Computing SRG compliance
  • IL4/IL5/IL6 gap analysis and remediation
  • DISA provisional authorization support
  • STIG implementation and hardening
  • Cross-domain solution assessment
  • Mission owner ATO coordination
IL4

Impact Level 4

Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in a non-national security system context. Requires enhanced security controls beyond FedRAMP Moderate.

IL5

Impact Level 5

Higher sensitivity CUI and National Security Systems. Requires dedicated infrastructure within the United States with US person access restrictions.

IL6

Impact Level 6

Classified information up to SECRET. Requires isolated, dedicated infrastructure with the most stringent security controls and personnel requirements.
