Advisory Service Components

For organizations with internal engineering capability that need FedRAMP expertise to guide the journey

Most firms hand you templates and expect your team to figure it out. We build the entire authorization package, SSP, policies, procedures, plans, diagrams, while your engineers focus on implementation. From initial assessment through ATO, we own the documentation so you can own the remediation.

  • Gap Assessment For organizations evaluating the FedRAMP journey. A technical deep-dive into the controls that matter—the ones that stop authorizations cold, the ones 3PAOs dig into hardest, and the ones that reveal architectural decisions you'll wish you'd made differently. You get a comprehensive roadmap that tells you exactly what it takes to get authorized.
  • Phase 0: Discovery Fast Track For organizations committed to the full journey. Accelerated discovery that bypasses the standalone report and flows directly into Advisory. No gap assessment gathering dust—we produce foundational artifacts (ABD, Control Ownership Matrix, Remediation Roadmap) and immediately start building.
  • Advisory The heavy lift. We create your complete authorization package, SSP with implementation-level detail, boundary diagrams that answer assessor questions before they're asked, and cloud-native documentation that reflects how your infrastructure actually operates. We don't disappear after delivery. We embed with your engineering team, work through implementation challenges together, and get hands-on when guidance isn't enough. Machine-readable when you need it. Built for Rev 5 and 20x.
  • Bastion: Assessment Support We stay until you're authorized. Evidence coordination, interview preparation, real-time finding response, and agency communication from 3PAO kickoff through ATO. The engagement ends when you have your authorization, not when our hours run out.

Every deliverable is custom-written for your architecture. Zero templates. Zero generic language. Documentation your engineers can actually use, for operations, onboarding, and audits. When assessors review our packages, evidence traces cleanly, narratives match reality, and interviews don't surface surprises.
