PathfindingĀ
Crafting a profitable, sustainable business case
Where to begin your FedRAMP journey?
Success depends on having a clear, calculated strategy
Whether your company is choosing to enter the public sector market as a growth strategy or has a storied presence in the federal market space, an innovative startup, or a trusted brand, it is crucial for your team to be able to have sustained support and shared common vision of desired outcomes.
End-to-end from concept to FedRAMP authorization, the process is highly likely to take longer than one fiscal year. Efficient strategy execution will require commitment, flexibility, and a dependable plan to staff resources, plan cost, engage regulators efficiently, and communicate expectations.
What pitfalls and challenges can you expect?
Planning an authorization strategy involve a number of factors to determineĀ your best path forward.
Some common pitalls include:
- failing to plan for all requirements of multiple compliance accreditations
- failing to plan for sustained human capital resourcing over the duration of the design/build phase
- expecting an existing product platform can be converted, or otherwise meet FedRAMP requirements while still serving the larger business
