How Do You Design a FedRAMP Compliant Platform Without Impeding Business?
Smart use of strategic partner services
Modern cloud computing offers unprecedented digital scalability, but not all cloud solutions achieve secure, cost-effective scale potential within FedRAMP requirements.
Choosing the right IaaS platform to leverage your business' strengths is a key foundational decision, as are the partnerships available within the FedRAMP ecosystem to minimize non-value-add costs, reduce product sprawl, and consolidate the focus of your team.

What pitfalls and challenges can you expect?
Technical requirements for FedRAMP compliant design can be frustrating for architects and engineers, as the requirements can be vague, challengingly restrictive, or difficult to quantify if a proposed solution is, in fact, compliant.
The design process involves multiple functional teams to communicate and understand risk decisions.

BENEFITS OF VANAHEIM SECURITY
Often, the challenges and pain points of a poorly designed accreditation boundary are only discovered years afterward, when the offering is in full operation. Addressing pain points at that juncture, however, is a difficult juggling act taking an average of one year of enterprise effort, and an additional $500,000+ in capital expenditures.
Utilizing the expertise of a trusted advisor with proven FedRAMP experience and relationships can create colossal savings over time.
