Scottsdale, Arizona, November 15, 2021 (Continuumgrc.com) – Continuum GRC, Inc. has been granted its FedRAMP Authorization by the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) program.

“I’d like to personally thank the SBA’s Branch Chief for Security Policy & Compliance and Office of the Chief Information Officer, and those members of the FedRAMP PMO who supported our interesting use case. It has been our mission to help the small business community that is America's economic engine, and we are looking forward to doing great things together.” said Michael Peters, CEO of Continuum GRC.
