Government: Your FedRAMP and CMMC Compliance Team, Without the Headcount

Government technology contractors, systems integrators, and cloud service providers serve the most compliance-intensive buyer in the world. For technology companies selling into government, compliance isn't a differentiator — it's the minimum requirement to compete. Agency's U.S.-based forward-deployed engineers and proprietary AI operate your full federal compliance program — FedRAMP, CMMC, FISMA, continuous monitoring — from readiness through ATO, so you compete without standing up a compliance department.

Regulatory Landscape

FedRAMP — any cloud service provider selling to federal agencies must achieve FedRAMP authorization. The framework requires approximately 325 NIST 800-53 controls (at Moderate impact level), continuous monitoring, and 3PAO assessment — one of the most demanding certifications in existence.

FISMA — federal agencies and the contractors operating information systems on their behalf must comply with the Federal Information Security Modernization Act, which mandates a risk-based security program built on NIST 800-53 controls, system categorization under FIPS 199, an Authorization to Operate (ATO), and continuous monitoring with annual reporting to OMB and Congress.

CMMC 2.0 — government technology contractors and systems integrators providing IT services, cloud infrastructure, or software to DoD must achieve CMMC certification at the appropriate level to handle CUI and FCI.

ISO 27001 — government contractors pursuing international public-sector work and NATO-aligned contracts need ISO 27001 certification to meet procurement requirements outside the U.S.

SOC 2 — government technology companies also selling into commercial enterprise need SOC 2 Type II alongside their federal certifications.

ISO 42001 — government agencies and contractors deploying AI systems face increasing requirements around AI ethics, bias mitigation, and accountability under emerging federal AI governance mandates.

How Agency Operates Government Compliance

Agency embeds U.S.-based forward-deployed engineers, supercharged by proprietary AI, into your security and compliance infrastructure, operating your entire federal compliance program — from initial readiness through authorization, certification, and continuous monitoring — so your team focuses on delivering for the government while Agency handles the compliance mission.

Federal Multi-Framework Orchestration — Armada PSCO maps controls across FedRAMP (NIST 800-53), CMMC (NIST 800-171), ISO 27001, and SOC 2 in a unified ontology. Implement controls once and satisfy every federal and commercial requirement. Verse C2 orchestrates enforcement across your entire technology stack.

Authorization Package Management — M79 generates and maintains System Security Plans, POA&Ms, authorization packages, and continuous monitoring deliverables formatted to FedRAMP PMO and C3PAO expectations. Every artifact is audit-grade and always current.

Continuous Monitoring Operations — Agency operates your continuous monitoring program: monthly vulnerability scan management, POA&M tracking, annual assessment preparation, incident reporting, and real-time control validation across every environment.

Supply Chain Compliance — Agency assesses and monitors every third-party service in your FedRAMP boundary and CMMC scope, ensuring supply chain controls meet federal requirements and documenting vendor compliance continuously.

Assessment Readiness — Agency prepares your organization for 3PAO (FedRAMP) and C3PAO (CMMC) assessments with validated controls, complete evidence packages, and real-time assessment monitoring through Ringwraith. Storm Shadow validates every artifact before assessor review.

Managed Detection and Response — Agency MDR provides fully managed detection, response, and incident documentation across every endpoint, container, and cloud workload — with compliance-grade evidence and incident reporting meeting FedRAMP continuous monitoring and CMMC requirements.

Critical Challenges

Audited Compliance — FedRAMP's 325 controls require extensive documentation: System Security Plans, POA&Ms, continuous monitoring deliverables, and authorization packages. Combined with CMMC's 110 NIST 800-171 controls, the documentation burden is extraordinary.

Cross-Framework Complexity — FedRAMP (NIST 800-53), CMMC (NIST 800-171), ISO 27001 (Annex A), and SOC 2 (Trust Services Criteria) all overlap significantly. Without cross-mapping, organizations implement the same security controls multiple times for different assessors.

Fragmented Governance — federal compliance touches infrastructure, application security, identity management, physical security, personnel, incident response, and continuous monitoring. Coordinating governance across all domains requires centralized oversight.

Risk Visibility — FedRAMP requires continuous monitoring with monthly vulnerability scans, annual assessments, and real-time incident reporting. CMMC requires continuous risk assessment across CUI boundaries. Static, periodic reviews don't satisfy federal expectations.

Vendor Risk — FedRAMP requires all third-party services to meet FedRAMP or equivalent security requirements. CMMC requirements flow down to every subcontractor. Supply chain compliance is a critical control area.

Remote Workers — federal systems require strict access controls for remote access, including multi-factor authentication, encrypted connections, session management, and continuous monitoring of remote sessions.
