Overview
Guiding You Through Every Step of the FedRAMP® Authorization Process
If you’re a Cloud Service Provider (CSP) currently conducting or positioning to do business with the U.S. Federal Government, the pursuit of FedRAMP® authorization is a key step towards entering the federal marketplace. Further, if you're a CSP supporting the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), also known as Defense Contractors, 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 public sector business landscape and give you a cost-effective competitive advantage as you pursue a FedRAMP Authorization to Operate (ATO).
Experience is a valuable asset in this space. That’s why Aprio leverages a seasoned senior assessment team to partner with you, either as an assessor or to provide advisory services in preparation for your FedRAMP 3PAO assessment. Our FedRAMP readiness assessors were implementers first, an experience which gave them the practical insight to evaluate and continuously monitor cybersecurity controls with precision, relevance, and real-world context. As your advisor, we'll take the pressure and time commitment off your stakeholders’ plates, leaving them free to focus on business operations. As your FedRAMP® assessor, we'll provide an efficient and effective audit so you can get back to your day job.
