What is FedRAMP?

FedRAMP is a program that enables cloud services providers (CSPs) to meet the security requirements embedded with FISMA and the NIST publications so that an agency may outsource with the confidence that its cloud provider partner is meeting those requirements.

What to expect for your FedRAMP Assessment

We begin each project with your end goals in mind and to provide preparation for future key project activities. Effective communication and timely coordination of project planning activities are central to our methodology with our clients.
