Our services are organized into four key categories, each designed to address specific aspects of the FedRAMP journey for organizations like yours.
-
Before embarking on the FedRAMP and StateRAMP certification process, creating compliant documentation and controls is essential. Illumen offers comprehensive consulting services throughout the entire process. We assist in the creation of critical security artifacts, including Security Assessment Plans (SAP), System Security Plans (SSP), Security Assessment Reports (SAR), and Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&M). This prepares you thoroughly for your upcoming FedRAMP and StateRAMP assessment and authorization.
-
For a smooth start to the authorization process, we conduct a thorough review of your environment and a technical capability assessment. This assessment results in a FedRAMP Readiness Assessment Report (RAR). Achieving the FedRAMP Ready designation for your Cloud Service Offering (CSO) is crucial to kick off the authorization with your Authorizing Official (AO).
-
To maintain your organization's Authorization to Operate (ATO), we provide continuous support. We help you evaluate and manage risks through the following key aspects:
Change Control: Our change control processes ensure the maintenance of a secure baseline configuration of your CSP's architecture.
POA&M Management: The Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) is crucial for tracking risk mitigation activities. We help you manage this process efficiently, including addressing security findings from periodic assessments and ongoing continuous monitoring activities. Our experienced team has a track record of supporting POA&Ms, from Li-SaaS to DoD IL4, saving you valuable time and effort.
-
In addition to the core services, we offer further expertise to enhance your FedRAMP journey:
Risk Categorization: We assist you in determining the proper Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)-199 categorization of your cloud solution's risk level.
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing: Security is paramount, and we conduct thorough assessments to identify and address potential vulnerabilities in your systems.
Security Controls Evaluation and Enhancement: Our gap analysis ensures that your organization's security controls meet FedRAMP requirements. We also review and enhance processes such as your Incident Response Plan (IRP), Processes, and Procedures to ensure they align with FedRAMP requirements.
Illumen is your dedicated partner in achieving FedRAMP and StateRAMP authorization, tailored to the specific needs of start-ups and small companies. Our seasoned consultants bring years of in-depth experience to guide you through the entire process. Let us help you succeed in the world of federal business.
