Accreditations and Authorizations

Formally Accredited. Independently Authorized.

Your authorization is only as credible as the firm that assessed you. Fortreum holds formal accreditation and authorizations from the governing bodies that oversee the frameworks you need. The assessments we conduct carry the weight of official authorization, not advisory opinion.

GovRAMP Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO)
Authorized by GovRAMP

GovRAMP is the state and local government equivalent of FedRAMP. Like FedRAMP, only formally authorized 3PAOs can conduct official assessments for cloud providers seeking state government authorization. Fortreum’s GovRAMP 3PAO authorization is grounded in the same American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) accreditation that underpins our FedRAMP 3PAO status, giving cloud service providers a direct path to state and local government markets without engaging a separate assessor.
