A third-party FedRAMP assessment can help Cloud Service Offering (CSO) seamlessly navigate through the FedRAMP authorization stages. This can help the organization gain a competitive edge in the federal marketplace and set the organization apart from competitors who are not yet FedRAMP Ready or have not achieved FedRAMP authorization.

Note: In the context of FedRAMP assessment, Cloud Service Provider (CSP) refers to a company or organization that provides cloud services to the US federal government agencies.

In recent years, the IT industry has witnessed a surge in demand for SaaS, cloud-based services, and digitization, resulting in the need for consistent security standards for CSPs that provide services to the US government agencies. Before FedRAMP, each government agency had its own unique security requirements, which made it difficult for CSPs to offer their services. With FedRAMP, CSPs can achieve a standardized security authorization that meets the requirements of multiple agencies, making it easier for them to do business with the Federal government of the United States.

Accuract can help the CSPs in their journey to achieve FedRAMP ready designation or FedRAMP ATO in the following ways:

• Conducting gap assessment based on FedRAMP baseline controls.
