Helping CSP’s obtain and maintain FedRAMP Authorization
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. The goals of FedRAMP are to:
Ensure use of cloud services adequately protects and secures federal information
Enable cloud services’ reuse across the federal government wherever possible to save money and time.
FedRAMP is mandatory for Federal Agency cloud deployments and service models at the low, moderate, and high risk impact levels. For Cloud Service Providers (CSP’s), obtaining FedRAMP can help better evidence the ability to sell to Federal Government through been validated by a third party assessor as well as the FedRAMP Program Management Office.
How Secliance can help you:
Our certified cybersecurity and compliance professionals will guide you each step of the way:
Document
Documentation is foundational to FedRAMP Compliance. We help CSP’s categorize their information system, select appropriate security controls, and document the security controls and implementations in the System Security Plan (SSP) and supporting documents. At Secliance, our focused strategic execution will save you time and resources; getting it done right the first time.
Assess
We assess the current processes and practices to ensure they are functioning as intended. A self-assessment will help you identify and remediate deficiencies prior to engaging a 3PAO to validate the security implementation. Our controls experts are specialized in NIST requirements and will provide pragmatic solutions to help you implement, document, and evidence the foundational security requirements for FedRAMP.
Monitor
Once the system is authorized, we will help you establish and run a continuous monitoring program that determines whether the set of deployed security controls in the information system remain effective in light of planned and unplanned changes that occur in the system and its environment, over time. This is performed at various intervals.
Project basis: When making major changes to the information system and its environment.
Periodic basis: Regular monthly, quarterly, or annual based on frequency of control operation.
Continuous basis: Real-time monitoring for threats and vulnerabilities.
