Assessed by an Accredited 3PAO
Named assessors, evidence requests scoped to your architecture, and a team that stays on the line after the SAR lands. Initial assessments, annual assessments, VER and VDR, significant change, and continuous monitoring.
FedRAMP 3PAO Assessment
RISCPoint is an accredited FedRAMP and GovRAMP third party assessment organization. We run the assessment, write the Security Assessment Report, and stay on the line with your agency sponsor and the FedRAMP PMO until the package clears.
Most authorization delays are assessor problems rather than control problems. Rotating staff, template evidence requests, and a report that lands with no explanation behind it. That is what this engagement is built to avoid.
Scoping and the SAP
We start with an architecture walkthrough and confirm the authorization boundary before anything gets tested. From there we write test cases against your implemented controls, agree the sampling approach, scope penetration testing, and hand your team an evidence request list built for your system rather than pulled from a template.
You leave this phase with a fixed schedule, named assessors, and a Security Assessment Plan your sponsor can actually read.
Testing and the SAR
Control testing, interviews, configuration review, and penetration testing run by our own team under the FedRAMP penetration test guidance. Findings are raised as they surface rather than held back for the report.
We walk every finding with your team before the SAR is final, document residual risk, and stay available through FedRAMP PMO and agency sponsor review. Independence stays intact. Going quiet is not part of it.
Continuous Monitoring
Authorization is the start of the work rather than the end of it. Monthly ConMon review, significant change assessments, and the annual assessment are handled by the team that already knows your boundary.
No re-explaining your architecture every year, and no gap between the firm that assessed you and the firm that keeps you authorized.

Bring us the boundary
A scoping call runs about thirty minutes with an assessor who will be on your engagement. Tell us what the system is, where the boundary sits, and whether you have a sponsor. You leave with a scope, a timeline, and a straight answer on whether your package is ready to be tested.
