A FedRAMP Moderate baseline, now classified as Class C under the updated FedRAMP 20x framework, requires documentation and validation of over 300 controls–not an insignificant number, regardless of the enterprise.

Modern IT, however, rests on a network of digital infrastructure and vendor-supplied applications. If your app runs on a FedRAMP-authorized infrastructure provider, you benefit from the fact that those providers have already invested years and tens of millions of dollars in proving the security of systems to a Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO).

By maximizing your Customer Responsibility Matrix (CRM) and building an inheritance-first architecture, organizations can offload their documentation and assessment burden to their underlying provider, reducing total time-to-ATO by 30% or more.
