Assess Once, Comply to Many
Build Federal Trust
FedRAMP provides a standardized approach for assessing the security of cloud services used by federal agencies. Independent assessment gives agencies confidence that security controls have been thoroughly evaluated using a consistent methodology.
Expand Federal Market Access
A FedRAMP authorization package can be leveraged by multiple federal agencies, reducing duplicative security reviews and helping accelerate adoption across government.
Support Agency ATO Decisions
FedRAMP provides agencies with a common framework for evaluating cloud security risk and issuing Authority to Operate (ATO) decisions.
Enable Long-Term Federal Growth
Whether you are pursuing your first federal customer, expanding a SBIR-funded solution, or growing across multiple agencies, FedRAMP helps establish the security foundation needed to support government adoption.
What is FedRAMP?
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is the U.S. government's standardized approach to the security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring of cloud services used by federal agencies.
Built on NIST security standards and guidance, FedRAMP provides a common framework for evaluating cloud security risk. Cloud Service Providers seeking authorization undergo an independent assessment performed by an accredited Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO).
The Cloud Service Provider defines the Cloud Service Offering (CSO), establishes the authorization boundary, documents security controls, and demonstrates how federal information is protected. The 3PAO independently validates those controls through documentation review, technical testing, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing.
The resulting security package helps federal agencies evaluate risk and make informed authorization decisions.
FEDRAMP FOR CLOUD PROVIDERS, CONTRACTORS, AND SBIR COMPANIES
Organizations entering the federal marketplace often discover that security authorization becomes a critical requirement as adoption grows.
If your cloud service stores, processes, or transmits federal information, agencies may require evidence that your environment meets federal security requirements before granting an Authority to Operate (ATO).
This is especially relevant for:
- Cloud Service Providers pursuing federal opportunities
- Government technology and SaaS providers
- Federal prime contractors and subcontractors
- SBIR and Phase II award recipients preparing for operational deployments
- Commercial organizations expanding into the federal market
ControlCase helps organizations understand FedRAMP requirements, assess readiness, and prepare for the assessment activities that support federal authorization.

FedRAMP Authorization Paths
FedRAMP provides several pathways that support federal authorization. Each path has different
requirements, timelines, and levels of review
Agency Authorization (ATO)
The primary path used today. A federal agency reviews the security package and grants an Authority to Operate. This is the most common path and requires a direct relationship with a sponsoring agency. Once authorized, other agencies can reuse the authorization package.
FedRAMP Modernization Initiatives (FedRAMP 20x)
FedRAMP is introducing new authorization approaches including the 20x. These are designed to streamline assessments, increase authorization reuse, and reduce barriers for cloud providers entering the federal market.
FedRAMP Ready
Conditions on uses and disclosures of PHI without patient authorization. Security Rule Rule 3 A readiness assessment conducted by an accredited 3PAO that demonstrates preparedness for authorization activities. This is the first step toward full authorization and signals to agencies that the CSP is prepared for the authorization process.
