Compliance Framework
GovRAMP (StateRAMP)
Standardized cloud security authorization for state, local, and education government - formerly StateRAMP.
GovRAMP - the program formerly known as StateRAMP - gives state, local, tribal, territorial, and education (SLED) governments a standardized way to verify the security of the cloud products they buy. Modeled on FedRAMP and built on NIST SP 800-53 controls, it provides a common authorization that a provider can earn once and reuse across participating jurisdictions, replacing the patchwork of agency-by-agency security reviews.
HanaByte helps cloud service providers scope their offering, close control gaps, build the required documentation, and stand up the continuous monitoring needed to reach and maintain a GovRAMP Ready or Authorized status.
