The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services.
For CSPs supporting the government, the question becomes: what is the most effective method to address the government’s FedRAMP requirements within a specific timeframe using existing resources and without breaking the budget? This is the challenge, and Lunarline can provide the path towards success.
Government agencies interested in hosting or processing information in the cloud are required to select vendors that have completed FedRAMP. Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) not in the FedRAMP repository are at a major disadvantage.
Lunarline can assist
Developing the necessary artifacts and evidence of FedRAMP compliance can be overwhelming. At the same time, authorization via FedRAMP is critical for CSPs interested in doing business with the Federal Government. Lunarline has the experience and expertise to assist.
Our staff has the knowledge to address the 300+ security controls, seemingly countless pages of security documentation and artifacts, and prepare CSPs to complete the detailed security controls assessment (SCA) required for government agencies to make risk-based decisions to move government workloads to the cloud.
Lunarline is also experienced in assisting CSPs in determining the most effective path towards meeting the FedRAMP guidelines. The decision to work towards a FedRAMP Joint Advisory Board (JAB) Provisional Authorization to Operate (P-ATO), Agency ATO, CSP Supplied submission, or FedRAMP Readiness can be confusing. Each FedRAMP option has benefits and challenges. Lunarline can address the differences in the paths in order for the CSP to most effectively allocate time and resources to meet corporate objectives.

Leveraging our expertise as a 3PAO for numerous Agency and commercial organizations, we are the best to position you to successfully navigate the FedRAMP authorization process.
FedRAMP Training: We provide FedRAMP and security compliance training, tailored to your organization’s unique requirements and technology. We’ll focus on cloud security issues, and security concepts for the three types of cloud computing and explain what cloud service providers and agencies must do to perform the activities necessary to meet the requirements for the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). We’ll teach you how to tailor controls, prepare documentation, identify and fix problems, and survive an assessment.
FedRAMP Products: The Lunarline FedRAMP Team works with the Lunarline Product Development Team to identify opportunities for automation where a technological solution can greatly improve efficiency, thus reducing costs for CSPs. For example, we have developed a proprietary tool that converts scan results from popular scanning tools such as Tenable Nessus, AppDetectivePRO, and HP WebInspect into an Excel document for easier analysis.
