Cloud service providers (CSPs) seeking to enter the federal cloud services market must receive an authorization to operate (ATO) a cloud service on behalf of a federal customer under FedRAMP. The path to achieving a FedRAMP ATO is long, arduous, and not always right for every CSP exploring how to unlock the federal cloud services market.

Prepare for FedRAMP authorization

As the leading FedRAMP Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO), Coalfire is uniquely positioned to provide guidance and insights gleaned from years of interaction with FedRAMP and CSPs who have undergone the FedRAMP ATO process. Our suite of FedRAMP services guide you from initial exploration of the federal cloud services market to a FedRAMP ATO. Before committing to any FedRAMP initiative, you should participate in a Coalfire-led FedRAMP workshop as an initial first step.

OUR APPROACH

The FedRAMP workshop is a guided onsite discussion led by Coalfire principals and FedRAMP experts. During the workshop, we interface and build consensus among your key stakeholders, assist in articulating the business case for FedRAMP, and clarify the costs you can expect to encounter during the FedRAMP ATO process. Our experts ensure that all participants leave the discussion with a clear understanding of how FedRAMP works and the key requirements.

DELIVERABLES

After the FedRAMP workshop, we will prepare a report that details workshop discussion points, high-level findings and outcomes, and any architecture and design considerations that should be accounted for within your environment to address the technical implementation of FedRAMP security controls. The report also includes anticipated next steps tailored to your business, current technical capabilities, and a timeline to meet FedRAMP.
