Compliance Roadmaps

Built by the Team That Runs the Assessments.

Compliance Roadmaps

Most compliance roadmaps are written by consultants who advise on assessments. Fortreum’s are built by the team that conducts them.

Fedramp

The FedRAMP Authorization Roadmap Every CSP Should Read First.

Built by Fortreum’s Top 5 FedRAMP 3PAO team. Updated to reflect FedRAMP Rev. 5 and FedRAMP 20x.

Readiness

Before pursuing formal FedRAMP authorization, your organization needs a clear picture of your current control posture against FedRAMP baseline requirements. A gap assessment identifies every control deficiency, validates your system boundary, and produces the remediation roadmap your team needs before authorization work begins.

Authorization

Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) authorization requires a formal assessment by an accredited Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) and submission of a complete authorization package to your sponsoring agency or the FedRAMP Program Management Office (PMO). Fortreum’s assessment team guides your organization through System Security Plan (SSP) development, control testing, and authorization package preparation to the standard your reviewing body requires.

ATO

Your Authority to Operate (ATO) is issued by your sponsoring agency after review of your authorization package. The ATO process requires active coordination between your organization, Fortreum, and your agency stakeholder. Organizations that complete thorough readiness and authorization phases reach ATO faster and with fewer findings.

Continuous Monitoring

FedRAMP authorization does not end at ATO. Continuous monitoring obligations — monthly vulnerability scans, annual assessments, significant change reporting, and Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) management — run throughout the life of your authorization. A Continuous Monitoring (ConMon) program built during authorization rather than after ATO keeps your posture current from day one.

Gap Assessment

Before pursuing Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 certification, your organization needs a clear picture of your current control posture against the 110 National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication (NIST SP) 800-171 practices. A gap assessment defines your Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) boundary, identifies every control deficiency, and produces a prioritized remediation roadmap before program development begins.

Program Development

Before pursuing Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 certification, your organization needs a clear picture of your current control posture against the 110 National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication (NIST SP) 800-171 practices. A gap assessment defines your Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) boundary, identifies every control deficiency, and produces a prioritized remediation roadmap before program development begins.

C3PAO Assessment

CMMC Level 2 certification requires a formal assessment by a Cyber-AB authorized C3PAO. Fortreum conducts your assessment, validates your controls against all 110 practices, and produces the certification your DoD contracting officer requires. Organizations that complete thorough program development reach certification faster and with fewer findings.

Ongoing Compliance

CMMC certification is valid for three years and requires an annual affirmation of continued compliance between assessments. Continuous monitoring, change tracking, and program maintenance throughout your certification cycle protect your posture and prevent findings at your next triennial assessment.

Identify Your Market

Federal civilian agencies, Department of Defense environments, and state and local government buyers each have distinct authorization requirements. Before pursuing any compliance program, identify which markets your business is targeting and which buyer types you need to satisfy. The wrong authorization for your target market costs time and budget you cannot recover.

Choose Your Authorization Path

Each government market has a defined authorization path. Federal civilian agency sales require FedRAMP. Defense contracts involving CUI require CMMC. State and local government cloud sales require GovRAMP or StateRAMP. System Integrators (SIs) operating federal systems require Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) compliance. Your authorization path follows your market — not your preference.

Plan Your Entry Strategy

Government market entry requires sequencing your compliance programs in the right order. A Cloud Service Provider (CSP) pursuing both FedRAMP and GovRAMP should achieve FedRAMP first — GovRAMP builds on FedRAMP foundations. A defense contractor pursuing both CMMC and FedRAMP should map shared controls before starting either assessment. A multi-program strategy planned before your first assessment begins saves significant time and budget.
