Federal authorisation.
ATO achieved.
FedRAMP authorisation for cloud service providers targeting US federal agencies. We implement the controls, author the SSP, coordinate with your 3PAO, and manage the ATO process from readiness assessment through to continuous monitoring.
From readiness assessment through to ATO package submission and agency liaison. We manage the entire authorisation process, not just the documentation.
We implement the technical controls: encryption, IAM, logging, vulnerability management, and configuration hardening. You do not need a separate implementation team.
FedRAMP authorisation is ongoing. We design your continuous monitoring programme from the start so you are never caught out at annual assessment time.
Readiness to ATO and beyond.
FedRAMP Readiness Assessment
Readiness · Gap AnalysisA structured assessment of your cloud service offering against FedRAMP baseline controls (Low, Moderate, or High). We identify gaps, estimate remediation effort, and produce a board-ready readiness report.
- Control baseline selection (Low/Moderate/High)
- Gap analysis against NIST SP 800-53
- Readiness report
- Remediation effort estimation
- ATO pathway recommendation
System Security Plan Development
SSP · DocumentationThe System Security Plan is the cornerstone of your FedRAMP package. We author your SSP, document control implementations, and produce all required artefacts to the standard 3PAO and agency reviewers expect.
- SSP authoring and review
- Control implementation statements
- System boundary documentation
- Data flow and architecture diagrams
- Interconnection agreements
Technical Control Implementation
Engineering · ControlsWe implement the technical controls required by your FedRAMP baseline: encryption, access control, logging, monitoring, vulnerability management, and configuration hardening across your cloud environment.
- Encryption at rest and in transit
- IAM and access control configuration
- SIEM and logging setup
- Vulnerability scanning programme
- Configuration baseline hardening
3PAO Coordination and Audit Support
Audit · 3PAOWe coordinate with your Third Party Assessment Organisation, prepare your evidence pack, manage the assessment process, and remediate findings to keep your ATO timeline on track.
- 3PAO selection support
- Evidence pack preparation
- Assessment coordination
- Finding remediation
- Security Assessment Report (SAR) review
ATO Package Preparation
ATO · Agency LiaisonWe prepare your complete Authority to Operate package: SSP, SAR, Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M), and all supporting documentation required for agency review and authorisation.
- SSP finalisation
- POA&M development
- SAR review and response
- Agency liaison support
- ATO submission coordination
Continuous Monitoring (ConMon)
ConMon · OngoingFedRAMP authorisation requires ongoing continuous monitoring. We implement your ConMon programme: monthly vulnerability scanning, annual assessments, incident reporting, and POA&M management.
- Monthly vulnerability scanning
- Annual control assessments
- Incident reporting procedures
- POA&M management
- FedRAMP PMO reporting
Readiness. Implement. Assess. Authorise.
Readiness
We assess your cloud service against your target baseline and produce a gap analysis with a clear ATO pathway.
Implement
Our engineers implement the technical controls, author your SSP, and build the evidence repository.
Assess
We coordinate with your 3PAO, manage the assessment process, and remediate findings to keep your timeline on track.
Authorise and Monitor
You achieve ATO. We implement your ConMon programme and keep your authorisation current.
Often paired with FedRAMP.
