Navigate FedRAMP authorization through structured guidance that streamlines compliance while strengthening your security posture.
Navigate the path to federal cloud service authorization
For technology providers seeking to serve federal government clients, FedRAMP authorization is both a requirement and a significant competitive advantage. BPM guides cloud service providers through the complex FedRAMP authorization process, helping you achieve compliance efficiently while strengthening your overall security posture.
Strategic FedRAMP guidance
Our approach streamlines your path to FedRAMP authorization:
Readiness assessment: We conduct comprehensive gap analyses comparing your current security controls, documentation and processes against FedRAMP requirements. This assessment identifies key areas for improvement and creates a prioritized roadmap toward compliance.
Authorization strategy: We help you determine the most appropriate authorization path based on your business objectives, target federal agencies and system risk level. Whether pursuing Joint Authorization Board (JAB) provisional authorization or agency authorization, we guide you toward the most efficient approach.
Control implementation: We assist in designing and implementing the technical, operational and management controls required by FedRAMP, ensuring they satisfy requirements while remaining practical for your operational environment.
Documentation development: We help create the extensive documentation required for FedRAMP authorization, including System Security Plans (SSP), security policies and procedures that meet federal standards. This represents the lion’s share of the documentation, often requiring hundreds or thousands of pages.
