Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) interested in serving federal organizations must meet rigorous government-mandated security requirements as part of the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP).
To ensure CSPs meet these standards, they must be audited by a Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) before they can receive a provisional Authorization to Operate (ATO) and start providing cloud services to federal customers. Over 300 security controls, thousands of pages of documentation, and a rigorous assessment make up the challenging path to a cloud service authorization.
Selecting an experienced and proven 3PAO is critical to gaining an ATO in an efficient and timely manner. That is why so many CSPs turn to Kratos to assist in preparing for FedRAMP or to conduct a formal 3PAO audit. Kratos is an accredited FedRAMP 3PAO certified by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to perform security assessments of CSPs. We have performed extensive information security work with industry-leading CSPs. View our FedRAMP assessor page for more information.
Kratos provides FedRAMP advisory and assessment services for public, private, community, and hybrid cloud service offerings, including: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). We work with CSPs to ensure their readiness to proceed with the 3PAO assessment process, as well as to conduct the actual assessments to secure the cloud with confidence.
