Readiness Gap Assessment
Identify existing gaps vs FedRAMP / NISTu2011800u201153 controls and map out required remediation through a detailed FedRAMP readiness assessment.
At SurkshaNow Partners, we help cloud service providers achieve FedRAMP authorization by aligning your systems and policies with NIST‑800‑53 controls—ensuring your environment is secure, compliant, and ready for federal contracts.
At SurkshaNow Partners, we simplify your FedRAMP assessment and Authorisation journey's aligning systems with NIST 800-53 controls, preparing FedRAMP system security plan (SSP) documentation, and guiding you through 3PAO assessments, FedRAMP audit, and ATO submissions to ensure your cloud environment is secure, compliant, and audit-ready.
Our team of compliance specialists has deep experience across FedRAMP security compliance, NIST 800-53, FISMA, and ISO 27001, ensuring your controls meet U.S. federal expectations.
From FedRAMP readiness assessment to achieving and maintaining Authorisation to Operate (ATO), we handle documentation, audit coordination, and continuous monitoring. We also prepare FedRAMP readiness assessment reports to identify and mitigate gaps efficiently.
We work directly with accredited Third-Party Assessment Organisations (3PAOs) to ensure seamless coordination, effective testing, and faster approval cycles. Our team supports the preparation of FedRAMP SAR and FedRAMP SAP packages for smooth submission to the FedRAMP AO or the FedRAMP JAB.
Every cloud system is unique. We design a customized roadmap that prioritises critical gaps, aligns with your cloud architecture, and accelerates your FedRAMP JAB P-ATO timeline.
Post-authorisation, we help you maintain continuous compliance with monthly scanning, POA&M updates, and annual assessments — ensuring sustained trust with federal agencies and facilitating FedRAMP cloud certification.
Whether pursuing a FedRAMP JAB authorisation or Agency ATO, SurkshaNow helps you navigate both pathways efficiently — with reusable FedRAMP SSP templates and audit-ready evidence.
We guide you through every stage of FedRAMP readiness and authorisation so you can confidently meet federal security requirements and maintain continuous compliance.
Identify existing gaps vs FedRAMP / NISTu2011800u201153 controls and map out required remediation through a detailed FedRAMP readiness assessment.
Create or refine FedRAMP system security plan (SSP), policies, procedures, and control evidence aligned with FedRAMP and NIST standards using FedRAMP SSP templates.
Coordinate with accredited Thirdu2011Party Assessment Organisations, perform penetration testing, vulnerability scans, interviews, and prepare FedRAMP SAR for auditors.
Compile all deliverables — SSP, FedRAMP SAR, FedRAMP SAP, POA&M, test evidence — ready for submission to Authorising Officials (FedRAMP AO) or the FedRAMP JAB.
Establish controls for ongoing risk evaluation, regular scanning, and re-assessment of significant changes to maintain Authorisation to Operate.
Help adopt the latest FedRAMP evolution for streamlined control baselines, automation, and more efficient authorisation cycles, supporting both FedRAMP JAB P-ATO and Agency ATO pathways.
Understanding FedRAMP impact levels and their security requirements
LOW IMPACT
Cloud service offerings in this category have limited adverse effects on agency operations, assets, or individuals in case of a breach.
MODERATE IMPACT
Moderate impact CSOs can lead to serious adverse effects on agency operations, assets, or individuals if confidentiality, integrity, and availability are compromised.
HIGH IMPACT
Breaches to high-impact data systems can have severe or catastrophic consequences.
