Take your cloud service to federal agencies — with an architecture-led FedRAMP program
Cybersecurity & Technology Architecture leads your authorization from boundary design through 3PAO assessment and continuous monitoring, so your engineering team ships product while the package gets built right the first time.

Cloud service providers pursuing FedRAMP Li-SaaS, Low or Moderate authorization (or StateRAMP / DoD IL2–IL4 alignment) who need a program owner and a reference architecture — not a template pack and a wish.
- SaaS and PaaS vendors with a federal pipeline or an agency asking for a package
- Teams whose authorization boundary is still undefined or sprawling
- Companies that have tried a DIY SSP and stalled
- Vendors that need a 3PAO-ready architecture and evidence set
What the program delivers
- Authorization strategy: impact level, Agency vs. Program path, and sponsor approach
- Authorization boundary and reference architecture: system diagrams, data flows, interconnections and inheritance from your IaaS provider
- NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 baseline selection and control-responsibility matrix
- System Security Plan (SSP), policies and procedures drafted and maintained
- Readiness gap assessment with a prioritized remediation register
- 3PAO selection and coordination for the Readiness Assessment Report and Security Assessment
- POA&M management and monthly continuous-monitoring deliverables (scans, inventory, deviation requests)
- Agency sponsor and FedRAMP PMO liaison support

Cybersecurity & Technology Architecture is an independent advisory firm. We prepare, implement and manage; we do not issue certifications, authorizations or accreditations, and no outcome is guaranteed. Pricing is fixed as shown; scope beyond it is quoted in writing before any work begins. Authorization is granted only by the sponsoring agency or the FedRAMP PMO. 3PAO assessment fees are billed by the 3PAO and are not included.

Questions
What does the $12,500 + $4,500/mo cover?
Program setup and the ongoing managed advisory, documentation and continuous-monitoring work. It does not include 3PAO fees or the full authorization package build, which is quoted separately from $50,000.
How long does FedRAMP take?
Plan on 12–18 months from kickoff to authorization for Moderate; Li-SaaS and Low are typically shorter. Sponsor availability is the biggest variable.
Do you guarantee authorization?
No one can. Authorization is decided by the sponsoring agency or the FedRAMP PMO. We build the strongest package and architecture we can and support you through findings.
Can we cancel the monthly program?
12-month minimum term to cover the authorization cycle, then month-to-month with 30 days notice.
We already have a partial SSP. Does that help?
Yes. We assess what exists during setup and reuse everything that holds up; the gap register tells you exactly what remains.
