Cloud Compliance, Quick Deadlines, and Upfront Challenges

BizFlow helps customers approach system modernization and digital transformation through a deliberate methodology that rapidly delivers cost-effective solutions. Creating and selling Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) products, BizFlow wanted to utilize Amazon Web Services (AWS) GovCloud and obtain their Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Authority To Operate (ATO) to sell their software to other U.S. agencies. To do this would require them to meet complex security requirements in a Rapid timeframe. BizFlow knew their technology but needed support in meeting the FedRAMP requirements. Without this key knowledge and expertise, meeting the deadline seemed impossible.

The Key Challenges They Faced

• Finding a skilled and dedicated partner to help with the ATO process
• Meeting the challenges of a Rapid turnaround
• Needing a fully dedicated FedRAMP and AWS partner for building and operational support
• Spending money on a long and drawn-out process
• Maintaining compliance after the ATO is achieved

A Synthesized Approach with InfusionPoints

BizFlow chose InfusionPoints to assist with their FedRAMP ATO journey because InfusionPoints offered the partnership they were looking for – not just a solution to figure out on their own. They also knew that InfusionPoints had a proven track record and strong expertise with FedRAMP requirements and AWS infrastructure. InfusionPoints was able to quickly meet with the SaaS provider to collaborate and determine the specific needs to obtain an FedRAMP ATO and launch this product into the FedRAMP marketplace for other agencies to utilize.
