Home / Practices / Federal Compliance

Federal compliance designed by practitioners who have sat both sides of the assessment table.

Navigate FedRAMP Rev5 and 20x, DoD CC SRG (IL-2 through IL-6), CMMC 2.0, and NIST RMF with advisors who have served as 3PAO lead assessors, agency ISSOs, and CSP program managers.

Assessor-Side Insight

Knowing where an auditor pushes comes from real industry experience. Since 2011 Traverge practitioners have assessed over sixty FedRAMP systems as 3PAO lead assessors, building control implementation statements and evidence packages that pass review on the first attempt.

Dual-Track FedRAMP Navigation

Maintaining a Rev5 baseline under CR26 mandates and adopting FedRAMP 20x require distinct operational approaches. We evaluate your current architecture to help you select the path that protects existing agency revenue while opening new opportunities.

One Baseline, Multiple Frameworks

Cloud service providers face fragmented demands across FedRAMP, CMMC 2.0, and DoD Impact Levels. We harmonize compliance requirements across all federal baselines to provide a clear roadmap for federal market expansion.

Programs

Four frameworks, one underlying control set.

Most organizations arrive needing two or three of these at once. Sequencing them correctly is usually worth more than accelerating any one of them.

FedRAMP

Rev5, 20x, or both

  • Path selection between Rev5 and 20x based on your architecture and your agency customers
  • CR26 and KSI gap analysis, with OSCAL conversion for machine-readable submission
  • SSP, policies and control implementation statements written to assessor expectations
  • Continuous monitoring built to hold the certification, not just to win it
Scope FedRAMP

DoD Impact Levels

IL-2 through IL-6

  • CC SRG requirements at the level your mission owner actually needs
  • Hands-on DISA STIG implementation rather than a compliance matrix
  • Architecture decisions made early, when they still determine whether the level is reachable
  • Navigation across DISA, the sponsoring mission owner and the commands involved
Scope DoD IL

CMMC 2.0

Defense industrial base

  • Level 1, 2 and 3 scoping against what you actually handle, FCI or CUI
  • SPRS scores that are accurate and defensible, because False Claims Act exposure is real
  • Readiness measured against C3PAO assessment methodology, not against self-assessment optimism
  • Unified with FedRAMP or DoD work where you are pursuing both
Scope CMMC

NIST RMF

Agencies and their systems

  • All seven steps, from Prepare through Monitor
  • Baseline selection and control tailoring out of SP 800-53 Rev 5 and its overlays
  • SSP, SAR and POA and M artifacts built to survive an independent review
  • Continuous ATO on telemetry, rather than authorization by document cycle
Scope RMF

Impact levels

DoD is not FedRAMP with a few extras.

Each level adds infrastructure, personnel and residency requirements that architecture decisions either accommodate early or cannot accommodate later.

LevelDataWhat it demands beyond the baseline
IL-2Non-CUI, publicly releasableAligns broadly with a FedRAMP Moderate baseline. The entry point, and rarely the destination.
IL-4CUI and National Security System dataBuildable from a Moderate (Class C) or High (Class D) baseline. Which one you start from changes the delta controls and the overlays that apply. The level most defense contractor deployments actually need.
IL-5Higher sensitivity CUI, mission criticalDedicated infrastructure physically separated from commercial tenants, US person access restrictions, and CONUS data residency.
IL-6Classified to SECRETAir gapped or government controlled infrastructure, cleared personnel, and the most restrictive control set in the DoD cloud ecosystem.
