What is the Difference Between a Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) and Consulting Partner?
When pursuing FedRAMP authorization, it’s important to understand the distinction between a Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) and a consulting partner, as each plays a unique role in achieving compliance. MegaplanIT can serve as either your 3PAO or your consulting partner to guide your FedRAMP journey, but cannot perform both roles for the same engagement:
Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO)
A Third-Party Assessment Organization performs formal assessments of your cloud systems, validates compliance with FedRAMP requirements, and issues official reports such as the Security Assessment Report (SAR). Working with a 3PAO is required for FedRAMP authorization, and its role is independent and objective.
Pre-Assessment Consulting Partner
A consulting partner that provides guidance, remediation planning, and expert advice to help prepare your organization for the assessment and maintain ongoing compliance. Working with a consulting partner is optional, and its role is advisory, not an official validator.

MegaplanIT: Your Ideal Partner for Smooth PCI Assessment
“When I joined my organization, there was a lack of insight and expertise into the PCI process, as the previous analyst had left. MegaplanIT was fantastic to work with through this process — they provided their security and compliance expertise to drill down into our scope, align our controls and evidence, get our documentation in order, and felt like a true partner in this process.”
