Governance, Risk, and Compliance

FedRAMP Compliance

If your cloud service or product is ready to support U.S. government agencies, Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) compliance is your ticket in. We help you meet strict security requirements so you can focus on growth while we handle the complexities of compliance.

What is FEDRAMP Compliance?

FedRAMP sets the security standards for cloud services used by federal agencies. Established in 2011, it ensures sensitive government data is protected from cyber threats. Any business offering cloud solutions to federal agencies must be FedRAMP compliant.

With R3 as your compliance partner, you’ll navigate the process smoothly and efficiently.

FedRAMP Authorization Levels

FedRAMP categorizes cloud services based on the sensitivity of the data they handle.
Each level requires specific security controls:

Low Impact

Moderate Impact

HIGH IMPACT

Low Impact

For cloud services handling publicly accessible or nonsensitive information.

Moderate Impact

For services handling sensitive but unclassified data, including PII and financial information.

HIGH IMPACT

For services managing classified or highly sensitive data where a breach could have catastrophic consequences.

The Authorization
Process

Cloud service providers (CSPs) must meet the appropriate security controls for their selected impact level. The process involves a comprehensive security assessment by a third-party assessment organization (3PAO). Successful compliance results in either a Provisional Authority to Operate (P-ATO) from the Joint Authorization Board (JAB) or an Authorization to Operate (ATO) from a federal agency.
