What is the ROI of my FedRAMP Project?
Going for FedRAMP authorization is a significant investment in time and money. The potential benefits are huge – opening the $83 billion U.S. Federal marketplace for your SaaS products and services. But the costs are also high and can vary widely from company to company, depending on your application’s existing security controls and processes.
FedRAMP Prep gives you an opportunity to make an early assessment of your FedRAMP project, helping to answer these key questions:
How long will the FedRAMP process take for my company?
How much will the overall FedRAMP authorization process cost?
What staffing and resources will we need to be successful?
What changes will be required to my application, environment, and processes?
With these answers in hand, you can make decisions, set realistic timelines, allocate resources, and plan your sales cycles to achieve maximum FedRAMP success.
