VER and VDR Work That Moves at Deadline Speed
Vulnerability Exploitability Reviews and Vulnerability Deviation Requests scoped, tested, and documented by an accredited FedRAMP and GovRAMP 3PAO. Narrow scope, short turnaround, evidence your sponsor and the PMO can act on.
VER and VDR Assessments
This is narrow, deadline driven work. A scan flags something, your continuous monitoring clock is running, and you need an independent assessor to say whether the finding is a false positive, a risk that can be adjusted, or an operational requirement you have to carry.
RISCPoint is an accredited FedRAMP and GovRAMP 3PAO. We scope these quickly, test what is actually running in your boundary, and write it up so your agency sponsor can act on it rather than send it back.
Scoping the request
We start with the finding itself. What the scanner reported, what that component actually does inside your boundary, and which deviation path fits: false positive, risk adjustment, or operational requirement.
Choosing the wrong path is the most common reason a submission comes back. You get a straight answer on whether the deviation is defensible before anyone writes it up.
Review and evidence
Our assessors test the condition rather than taking scanner output at face value. Exploitability is evaluated against your actual configuration, compensating controls, and network position.
What comes out is evidence a reviewer can follow: what was tested, what was observed, and why the residual risk sits where we say it sits.
Submission and defense
The written review goes to your team in the form your sponsor and the FedRAMP PMO expect, and we stay available for the questions that come back.
If a deviation is not going to hold, we say so early, so you can spend the time remediating instead of spending a review cycle finding out.

Send us the finding
Tell us what the scan flagged, what the component does, and when the submission is due. We will tell you on the first call which deviation path fits, whether it is defensible, and how fast we can turn it around.
