FedRAMP 3PAO

Third Party Assessment Organization Services.

As one of the original FedRAMP-accredited 3PAOs since 2012, Earthling Security has played a pioneering role in shaping how cloud security is assessed & validated within the federal space.

Our engineering experience with the FedRAMP program—spanning numerous federal agencies & Cloud Service Providers (CSPs)—has positioned us as a trusted technical partner in navigating the complexities of federal cloud compliance.

Earthling's 3PAO services are grounded in a deep understanding of both the technical & policy-based requirements outlined in the NIST SP 800-53 security control framework, along with FedRAMP-specific control enhancements & baselines. Our certified assessors apply a rigorous conformity assessment process to evaluate whether cloud environments meet the security requirements necessary to support federal workloads. These assessments provide objective validation that a CSP's security posture aligns with the standards set by the General Services Administration (GSA) & the FedRAMP Program Management Office (PMO).
FedRAMP utilizes a conformity assessment process to evaluate whether cloud services offered by CSPs meet the prescribed security requirements. This assessment is conducted in alignment with the latest version of NIST SP 800-53 security control standards & additional FedRAMP controls issued by GSA.
Earthling Security guides clients through every stage of the 3PAO audit lifecycle, helping them understand & meet the expectations of both the FedRAMP Joint Authorization Board (JAB) & individual agency sponsors. Our typical 3PAO engagement includes:
