FedRAMP Compliance Services by BD Emerson & Paramify

What is FedRAMP?

FedRAMP is a mandatory government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud service providers (CSPs) working with federal agencies. It ensures that cloud solutions meet strict federal security requirements—protecting government data through a risk-based, cost-efficient framework.

With FedRAMP authorization, CSPs demonstrate their ability to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of federal information at the highest levels of security.

Categorizing Cloud Services: Low, Moderate, or High Impact

As part of the FedRAMP authorization process, CSPs must evaluate the impact levels of their Cloud Service Offerings (CSOs) across three core security objectives: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Each CSO is classified as Low, Moderate, or High impact based on the potential consequences of a security breach—ranging from limited disruptions to severe risks affecting public safety, legal compliance, or national security. This categorization ensures that a CSP’s cloud environment meets federal security standards and support agencies in selecting trusted, compliant providers.

Low Potential Impact

This level applies to CSOs where a compromised system would result in limited adverse effects to an agency’s operations, such as when the information compromised is publicly available.

Moderate Potential Impact

This category accounts for approximately 80% of CSP applications that receive FedRAMP authorization and applies to more sensitive but generally unclassified information. At this level, a breach could cause a serious disruption and adverse effects to operations, assets, or individuals.

High Potential Impact

Loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability of information in this category could have severe or catastrophic adverse effects for the government agency or nation at large. This type of data is usually found in agencies within law enforcement, emergency service systems, financial systems, health, etc.

This baseline accounts for the government’s most sensitive, unclassified data in cloud computing environments.

BD Emerson’s FedRAMP Technical Control Implementation Services

BD Emerson isn’t a FedRAMP compliance company, but something better–‍a team of cybersecurity and compliance experts who understand the complexities of building a security infrastructure that aligns with multiple security frameworks and regulations, beyond just FedRAMP. Our specialized FedRAMP consultants are knowledgeable advisors that will assist your team in creating and implementing the necessary controls to achieve FedRAMP compliance.

‍Comprehensive Gap Assessment‍

Our expert consultants will conduct a comprehensive gap assessment of your organization’s cloud-based products and services—evaluating controls across encryption protocols, identity and access management (IAM), incident response capabilities, and enterprise risk management frameworks. This comprehensive assessment benchmarks your current security posture against FedRAMP’s stringent baseline requirements. Upon identifying control deficiencies or misalignments, our FedRAMP compliance services deliver tailored remediation roadmaps that prioritize risk reduction, streamlines authorization readiness.

‍Precision-Controlled FedRAMP Implementation

Achieving FedRAMP authorization requires more than checking boxes—it demands precise alignment with complex, evolving control requirements. BD Emerson’s FedRAMP advisory services include technical, hands-on expertise to support the design, engineering, and implementation of security controls based on your system’s impact level.

FedRAMP leverages the NIST 800-53 Rev. 5 control baseline, encompassing 20 distinct control families that cover system, operational, and management security requirements. However, control applicability is highly dependent on your designated impact level—Low, Moderate, or High:

• Baseline Controls: Required across all impact levels
• Impact-Specific Controls: Additional controls for Moderate and High systems
• Control Enhancements: Technical and procedural requirements that scale in complexity by impact level

This variability creates significant implementation challenges, particularly for organizations with hybrid, complex, or cloud-native environments. BD Emerson’s FedRAMP compliance solutions account for this variability and meet organizations where they are at.

FedRAMP Control Engineering—Tailored for Your System

BD Emerson’s FedRAMP consultants provide specialized expertise to:

✔️ Perform control gap assessments aligned to your target impact level

✔️ Engineer technical and procedural controls to satisfy NIST 800-53 requirements
✔️ Implement control enhancements efficiently, avoiding over-engineering
✔️ Map security architecture and processes to FedRAMP deliverables
✔️ Navigate control inheritance, shared responsibility models, and CSP-specific nuances

Our approach integrates FedRAMP requirements directly into your unique technical environment, ensuring compliance without compromising operational efficiency.

‍FedRAMP requires precision. BD Emerson provides the expertise to implement controls with clarity, efficiency, and technical rigor—tailored to your authorization path.
