FedRAMP for startups. Scoped on a call.

Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) unlocks federal agency deals. A FedRAMP authorization readiness package is issued by a Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) and a sponsoring agency, never by us. We build the program, the policies and the evidence behind it.

What you get for FedRAMP.

The same platform every framework runs on, pointed at this one: your answers, your evidence, your documents.

Baseline and boundaryWe pin the impact level, usually Moderate, draw the authorization boundary, and map the NIST 800-53 controls in that baseline to what you actually run.
System Security PlanThe document every assessor and agency reviewer reads first. Ours is drafted from your answers and kept current as controls close.
Evidence for the 20x pathMachine-readable evidence organized for the FedRAMP 20x path, so an assessor can verify key controls continuously instead of reading a binder once a year.

How FedRAMP runs here.

Four steps, in this order, with the handoff at the end.

  1. Step 1

    Scoping call first

    FedRAMP is a multi-quarter program, so it starts with a call: which agency, which impact level, and whether you have a sponsor. Nothing is billed before that.

  2. Step 2

    Intake and deterministic gap analysis

    Once scoped, the intake questionnaire feeds a gap analysis against the full NIST 800-53 baseline for your impact level, ordered by what an assessor tests first.

  3. Step 3

    Policies, SSP, and evidence binder

    Policies and the System Security Plan are drafted from your answers. Evidence is filed control by control, in the shape an assessor expects for the assessment.

  4. Step 4

    3PAO assessment and agency sponsorship

    A Third Party Assessment Organization arranged through partner firms runs the assessment, and your sponsoring agency grants the authorization. Polara does neither.

What FedRAMP costs.

Published where it can be published, and arranged with the firm that signs it where it cannot.

A FedRAMP authorization is a multi-quarter program with a sponsoring agency, so there is no start price to publish. We scope it on a call and tell you what the work actually is before anyone signs anything.

A FedRAMP authorization readiness package is arranged with a Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) and a sponsoring agency and quoted before it begins.

A FedRAMP authorization is a six-figure, multi-quarter program that depends on a Third Party Assessment Organization and an agency sponsor. It is scoped on a call and no start price is published.

Polara Labs is not an accredited assessor. Assessments are performed by the independent assessor the framework requires.

FedRAMP questions.

What buyers ask, and what the work actually involves.

Because a FedRAMP authorization is a six-figure, multi-quarter program whose cost depends on impact level, boundary size, and sponsor. We scope it on a call and put the number in writing before anything begins.
Not to start readiness, but you need one to get authorized. Most startups begin building the System Security Plan while working a federal deal that can become the sponsor.
FedRAMP 20x is the program's move toward machine-readable, continuously verified evidence for key security indicators instead of a document-heavy annual review. We build evidence that fits it from day one.
Neither replaces FedRAMP for a federal agency, though both reuse much of the same evidence. If your buyer is a state or local agency, GovRAMP or TX-RAMP may be the right program instead.

Unblock the deal.

Tell us where you are with FedRAMP and we will tell you what is left.
