The Inner Workings of FedRAMP Certification With Maria Horton at EmeSec
The protection and storage of government data is not a matter that is taken lightly. That’s why there’s FedRAMP, the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, which enables government agencies to move from outdated systems to secure, cloud-based IT through certified Cloud Serice Provider partners.
On this episode of Government Enabled, host Gil Tillman interviews Maria Horton, the Founder and CEO at EmeSec, a federal contractor that offers cloud security, compliance and engineering as well as assistance in the FedRAMP application process.
The process is more of a marathon than a sprint, says Maria, who has years of experience in the FedRAMP system. Her company is a FedRAMP Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO), which means they are accredited to advise Cloud Service Providers (CSP) on the design and preparation of their application.
Despite the long and complex process, Maria says it’s worth the time and cost.
“To me, FedRAMP is a strategy into the marketplace. It is an ongoing process. You can't just get in, get certified and drop it. You actually have to be thinking FedRAMP while you're managing and operating your cloud solution,” she says.
