FedRAMP® Discovery Workshop

Fast-track your FedRAMP authorization with our expert-led cloud security workshop.

Looking to enter the federal cloud services market? FedRAMP requires cloud service providers (CSPs) to obtain an authorization to operate (ATO) a cloud service on behalf of a federal customer. Our comprehensive FedRAMP workshop delivers clarity on your path to cloud security authorization. During the workshop sessions, we will dive deep into your business context, technical systems, and security processes. Through presentations, discussions, and hands-on reviews, we will assess your readiness and map out steps for FedRAMP compliance. You’ll walk away with a gap analysis, roadmap, action plan, and all the information needed to move forward on your FedRamp journey.
