FedRAMP is complex—but Aprio helps you Account for Anything™

If you’re a Cloud Service Provider (CSP) conducting or positioning to do business with the U.S. Federal Government, pursuing FedRAMP® authorization is a key step towards entering the federal marketplace. Further, if you’re a CSP supporting the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), then achieving FedRAMP® Moderate Equivalency is either required now or will open new markets as a differentiator.

As one of only twelve firms credentialed as both FedRAMP®-accredited Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) and an authorized CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) C3PAO, Aprio can help you navigate the landscape and provide a cost-effective competitive advantage as you pursue a FedRAMP Authorization to Operate (ATO). Our FedRAMP assessors were implementers first, an experience which gave them the practical insight to evaluate and monitor cybersecurity controls with precision, relevance, and real-world context. Whether we’re serving as your advisors or your FedRAMP® assessors, we’ll take the pressure and time commitment off you and your stakeholders—so you can get back to your day jobs.

Whether you’re exploring readiness, pursuing authorization, or scaling post-authorization, our guidance is grounded in what’s best for your business.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does FedRAMP® stand for?

FedRAMP® stands for Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, a government-wide program that standardizes the process of assessing, authorizing, and monitoring any cloud products and services used by the federal government.

Why is FedRAMP® authorization important?

In order for a cloud service provider (CSP) to contract with the federal government, they must first obtain FedRAMP® assessment services from an accredited provider. This assessment process helps assure that any cloud services utilized by government agencies are consistent, secure, and reliable.

What is the difference between FedRAMP® 3PAO and CMMC C3PAO?

Both FedRAMP® 3PAO and CMMC C3PAOs are third party assessment organizations that conduct cybersecurity assessments, but they utilize different verification frameworks. FedRAMP® 3PAOs typically assess cloud service providers specifically for federal agencies, while CMMC C3PAOs assess Department of Defense (DOD) contractors.

As both a FedRAMP® 3PAO and a CMMC C3PAO, Aprio has the experience to help your CSP enter the federal marketplace. Contact us today to learn more about our assessment services.
