FedRAMP Consulting Services
Most consultants advise. We've assessed. As former FedRAMP 3PAO Lead Assessors, our team has performed independent assessments of over 40 systems currently listed in the FedRAMP Marketplace. We've also consulted dozens of Cloud Service Providers, preparing their offerings for assessment and guiding them to successful FedRAMP authorization. This dual perspective, as both assessors and advisors, gives us insight that most firms simply can't offer.
The Challenge: A Two-Speed Compliance Landscape
The federal compliance landscape is undergoing its most significant transformation since FedRAMP's inception. The convergence of FedRAMP 20x and evolving agency requirements has created what we call "The Great Divide," a two-speed compliance environment where Cloud Service Providers must navigate both automation-centric mandates and legacy documentation requirements simultaneously.
The 20x Imperative
New CSPs face pressure to adopt machine-readable, automation-first authorization packages while agencies still require traditional documentation.
Rev 5 Reality
Existing authorized CSPs must maintain Rev 5 continuous monitoring while preparing for the inevitable transition to next-generation requirements.
Dual Maintenance Burden
Organizations are forced to run parallel compliance programs, duplicating effort and increasing operational costs by 40 to 60 percent.
Our Solution: Bridge the Divide
Traverge provides end-to-end FedRAMP consulting that addresses both current compliance requirements and future-state readiness. We don't just help you achieve authorization. We position you for long-term success in an evolving regulatory landscape.
Strategic Authorization Planning
We assess your current security posture, identify the optimal authorization pathway (Agency vs. JAB), and develop a realistic timeline that accounts for your technical architecture and business objectives.
Documentation and Engineering
Our team develops audit-ready System Security Plans (SSPs), policies, and procedures that satisfy both human reviewers and automated validation tools. We engineer controls that work in practice, not just on paper.
Assessment Preparation
With three former 3PAO Lead Assessors on staff, we know exactly what independent assessors look for. We conduct rigorous pre-assessment testing to eliminate surprises and accelerate your path to authorization.
Continuous Monitoring and ConMon
Authorization is just the beginning. We establish sustainable continuous monitoring programs that maintain your authorization while preparing your environment for 20x automation requirements.
Why Traverge for FedRAMP
Our team doesn't just advise on FedRAMP. We helped build the program and have led assessments from both sides of the table.
