The federal government established the Federal Risk and Authorization Management
Program (FedRAMP®) over a decade ago due to increasing cybersecurity threats
globally and attacks on the U.S. government's infrastructure.
Seeking FedRAMP approval is an arduous undertaking, involving over 300
requirements as outlined in more than 1,200 documentation pages. The private vendor
must have a federal agency sponsor and undergo external third-party audits. There's
an extensive list of security protocols that must be completed, usually taking up to
two to four years to achieve.
FedRAMP is now a general requirement for most systems going forward. When individual agencies do business
with a FedRAMP authorized vendor, they no longer need to run their own security tests or duplicate the work of
checking the vendor … the sponsoring agency has already performed that audit.
For Department of Defense entities, FedRAMP has security tiers – low, moderate and high impact; Kahua holds the
Impact Level (IL) 4 with IL 5 soon. Because Kahua has also completed the Authority to Operate (ATO) process with
multiple federal agencies, it can shorten the individual ATO process for additional government clients.
After a lengthy approval process and the sponsorship of the General Services Administration (GSA), the Kahua
Federal Network became FedRAMP Authorized in 2022 for its construction project management information
system (PMIS). Kahua's experience in this landscape brings peace of mind to these clients while reducing risk,
increasing security and creating efficiencies.
FedRAMP
Why does
this matter?
Because
FedRAMP and
StateRAMP
increase:
Transparency between the government and its cloud services providers
Automation and near real-time monitoring
Adoption of secure cloud solutions through reuse of assessments and authorizations
Consistency and confidence in the purchasing agency when selecting a system that's gone
through rigorous vetting
Combined, these state and federal credentials further demonstrate Kahua's commitment of
delivering a highly secure and reliable PaaS solution to not only government agencies but all public
and private sector customers managing the nations critical infrastructure and building programs.
