Our proven approach prepares your organization for the FedRAMP process; rapidly onboards your system for fastest time to market; and provides managed services to maintain and optimize your FedRAMP boundary and documentation following receipt of ATO.

1. FedRAMP strategy development and preparation

As your partner for the entire FedRAMP journey, we start by helping you understand the FedRAMP and agency sponsorship process and define and develop a comprehensive business strategy. From overall strategy, competitive, and market analysis through to technical requirements, we ensure your organization is poised for FedRAMP success and maximized ROI from the very beginning.

2. Accelerated system onboarding

As a core component of FastRAMP 360, Coalfire’s ACE Launchpad solution deploys FedRAMP-compliant cloud architectures in just 10 days, enabling you to become audit-ready in as little as 60 days.

3. Ongoing management and optimization

Acting as an extension of your team, Coalfire’s cloud managed services (CMS) minimizes the operational burden to your team while drastically reducing your costs. CMS offloads the management of your FedRAMP environment from your team, reducing operating expenditures by 54% and improving your security and risk posture. As another core component of FastRAMP 360, CMS provides the peace of mind you need for continued FedRAMP success.

There are typically two phases that will determine how long it takes to get a FedRAMP certification. First, there is a prep and build phase, followed by the assessment phase.

When cloud service providers opt to handle the prep and build phase on their own, it likely takes up to 18 months. With Coalfire's unique FedRAMP approach, FastRAMP 360, CSPs can become audit-ready in as little as 60 days.

The assessment phase generally takes three to six months.

That said, CSPs that work with Coalfire can expect to complete the FedRAMP process in as little as 8 months, while CSPs that don't, will not complete the process for up to 24 months.
