FedRAMP Readiness Assessment & Gap Analysis
ControlSolid helps Cloud Service Providers (CSPs), SaaS companies, and technology vendors prepare to sell to or support U.S. federal agencies. The engagement connects cloud architecture and security operations to the applicable FedRAMP path, identifies gaps, and builds a practical evidence and remediation roadmap before independent assessment or government review.
Scope is confirmed against current official requirements. Rev. 5 and the evolving FedRAMP 20x context can create different documentation, evidence, and assessment expectations; they are not treated as interchangeable paths.

Independence limitation
ControlSolid provides advisory readiness and gap-assessment consulting only. It does not act as a 3PAO, perform the independent assessment it helps prepare, issue FedRAMP authorization, or guarantee an Authorization to Operate.
This information does not claim FedRAMP recognition, marketplace approval, or government endorsement of ControlSolid.
- Cloud Service Providers preparing a federal offering or expanding an existing authorization boundary
- SaaS companies pursuing agency sponsorship or preparing for a FedRAMP assessment path
- Technology vendors whose products or services will process, store, or transmit federal information
- Engineering and security leaders who need a defensible scope, gap register, and remediation plan before engaging a 3PAO
- System boundary, components, interconnections, and federal data flows
- Cloud architecture, trust boundaries, and inherited or shared controls
- Identity, privileged access, authentication, and account lifecycle controls
- Logging, vulnerability management, secure configuration, and continuous monitoring readiness
- Data protection, incident response, resilience, and operational security processes
- Applicable NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 baseline control gaps, implementation status, and evidence
The assessment is tailored to the selected FedRAMP path, target baseline, system architecture, agency context, and current official requirements agreed during scoping.
- Align engineering, security, and leadership on the actual authorization boundary
- Expose technical and evidence gaps before independent assessment
- Separate inherited, shared, customer, and CSP responsibilities
- Prioritize remediation around risk, dependencies, and the selected FedRAMP path
- System boundary and data-flow scoping record
- NIST SP 800-53 control gap analysis with evidence observations
- SSP and supporting evidence roadmap
- Prioritized remediation plan and POA&M support
- Incident response and continuous monitoring readiness findings
- Independent 3PAO and government-stakeholder handoff checklist
Four steps from scope to action
- 01
Define the scope
Confirm the FedRAMP path, target baseline, stakeholders, and authorization boundary.
- 02
Assess the environment
Review cloud architecture, operations, controls, documentation, and evidence.
- 03
Prioritize the findings
Rank technical and evidence gaps by risk, dependency, and assessment impact.
- 04
Deliver the action plan
Provide the SSP, POA&M, remediation, evidence, and independent-handoff roadmap.
What is outside scope
- A formal independent assessment, Readiness Assessment Report, Security Assessment Report, penetration test, or other 3PAO deliverable
- FedRAMP authorization, marketplace status, agency sponsorship, an agency ATO, or any government approval decision
- Licensing, tooling, cloud-platform changes, control implementation, and remediation work unless separately scoped
- Fees and costs charged by a 3PAO, agency, program, certification body, technology provider, or other third party
If ControlSolid helps prepare a system, the independent assessment is performed by a separate FedRAMP-recognized 3PAO. That boundary protects assessor independence and keeps authorization decisions with the appropriate government authority.
