FedRAMP Assessment

Take control of business information systems in the cloud by bringing your cloud security program in line with FedRAMP requirements.

FedRAMP Overview

All Cloud Service Providers who serve the federal government are required to obtain FedRAMP authorization. There are two paths available for authorization: Joint Authorization Board (JAB) and Agency. For companies with a broad demand for their services, a JAB Provisional Authority to Operate (P-ATO) is the best path for FedRAMP authorization. Companies with a niche market that is targeted at a specific Agency within the federal government should select an Agency Authority to Operate. Companies with multiple cloud offerings may find that one path is better suited for a JAB P-ATO while another is more aligned with the Agency ATO path. Let MegaplanIT help you determine if one or both paths to authorization would best meet the needs of your business. 

Key Benefits:

Receive expert advice and guidance on cloud security

Ensure cloud assets are secured in line with FedRAMP requirements.

Protect your cloud environment from sophisticated cyber threats

Become and remain FedRAMP compliant, year after year

Our Approach To FedRAMP Assessments

Holistic Security

MegaplanIT conducts the assessment with a Holistic approach to security providing guidance on the System Security Plan and testing implementations submitted to FedRAMP.  

Ensure Complete Endorsement

We ensure that all aspects of your cloud environment and function are appropriately identified and addressed to ensure complete endorsement to FedRAMP standards.

Non-Disruptive Testing

Low impact testing and validation of security controls as required by FedRAMP allows your business to continue to function normally during the audit process.   

Expert Guidance

Guidance is provided every step of the way from conception to completion, documentation of policies, procedures, test plans, and results will aid in remediation

FedRAMP Overview

Recognizing the benefits of cloud computing and the need to reduce federal IT spending, the federal government introduced the “Cloud First” policy with a primary focus for federal agencies to migrate to commercial cloud technologies where practical. With the migration to cloud services, a process for federal agencies to manage risk in the commercial cloud service provider (CSP) environments was needed. As a result, the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, or FedRAMP, was developed.

Why Consider FedRAMP Assessments?

  • Fedramp harmonizes FISMA and NIST requirements for agency cloud-based IT products and services.  
  • FedRAMP provides a standardized risk-based approach for the Federal Government to leverage cloud servicesFedRAMP ensures the use of cloud services adequately protects and secures federal information. 
  • Documentation: System Security Plan (SSP) as accepted by JAB.
  • Assessment: Security Assessment Plan (SAP) is the testing of security controls and effectiveness within the environment as per the 3PAO.
  • Authorization: Security Assessment Report (SAR) is derived when the submission of evidence to FedRAMP.
  • Monitoring: The continuous efforts to monitor and alter security controls within the cloud environment to maintain effectiveness

MegaplanIT FedRAMP Assessment Services

Our team has developed a five-phase process (complimentary to the FedRAMP process) that best enables CSPs to prepare for their pursuit of a FedRAMP Authorization to Operate (ATO):

Pre-Assessment

During this phase, MegaplanIT will:

  • Help validate system inventory and boundary,
  • Perform a detailed review of all controls,
  • Begin conducting any penetration testing, and

Readiness Assessment

During the initial phase, MegaplanIT will conduct the necessary Readiness Assessment to determine your cloud’s readiness for the full FedRAMP assessment and ensure that the CSP meets the minimum requirements to achieve a FedRAMP ATO.

FedRAMP 3PAO Compliance Assessment 

During this phase, MegaplanIT will develop the following required FedRAMP documentation:

  • Security Assessment Plan (SAP)
  • Security Requirements Traceability Matrix (SRTM) to document assessment results
