Challenges & Needs

• Antiquated Information Security policies and procedures: Information security policies and procedures existed, yet they were old and had not been updated in years, and were not written to the specific NIST SP 800-53 requirements, thus, essentially rendered meaningless when it came to FedRAMP.
• Unclear Roadmap and Where to Even Begin: While the client did perform a FedRAMP readiness - and actually remediated security control deficiencies - they had no security policies in place and no strategy on how to even begin writing the SSP.

Our Solution

• Defined project scope, including roles and responsibilities for all internal personnel at the client.
• Identified gaps and deficiencies within the client’s control environment, offering expert recommendations on remediation and next-steps.
• Identified all missing FedRAMP specific security policies, procedures, programs, and plans.

Challenges Solved

• Developed all required information security policy documentation for all FedRAMP HIGH requirements.
• Established and put into operation all required FedRAMP programs, such as incident response, contingency planning, and more.
• Authored System Security Plan (SSP) for FedRAMP HIGH designation.
• Implementation of a true compliance framework in accordance with FedRAMP reporting.

Value Created

• Put in place a corporate culture that now understands, respects, and truly values the concept of information security.
• Developed and implemented a highly respected regulatory compliance framework with formalized and well-documented internal controls.
• Successfully met the rigorous compliance requirements of FedRAMP.
