Civilian Agency FAQs
How much does control inheritance reduce our workload?
By deploying on our FedRAMP High infrastructure, you inherit over 300 of the 421 High baseline controls. This typically reduces your documentation burden by 70% and your assessment scope proportionally. Your SSP focuses on application-specific controls rather than infrastructure.
Do you have experience with HHS FISMA requirements?
Yes, we've helped multiple HHS component agencies (CMS, HRSA, OS/ASA) achieve Low, Moderate, and High ATOs. We achieved HHS High ATO in a record 4-month timeline and understand HHS-specific FISMA policies and authorization processes.
What contract vehicles can we use for procurement?
We're available through GSA IT Schedule 70 (MAS), NASA SEWP V, NITAAC CIO-CS, HHS NGITS, and several agency-specific vehicles. We can help identify the most efficient procurement path for your agency's acquisition requirements.
How do you handle system migrations?
We provide comprehensive migration support including architecture design, runbook development, test planning, and cutover coordination. Our team maintains security control continuity throughout to protect your existing ATO status during transition.
