Frameworks We Build Against

Federal, higher education, life sciences, and commercial control sets, implemented in AWS and backed by evidence your assessor can work from.

One Environment, Several Control Sets

Most organizations answer to more than one framework, and the controls overlap heavily. Implemented separately, the same work gets done several times.

We build the environment once against everything you are held to, then produce the evidence each framework expects from the same source. You hold the certification; your assessor forms the opinion.

How the Work Runs

Control Mapping

Your environment read against every framework you answer to, with the overlap identified so shared controls get implemented once.

Guardrail Implementation

Preventive controls through Service Control Policies and detective controls through AWS Config conformance packs, Security Hub standards, and GuardDuty.

Evidence Automation

Configuration state, change history, and access reviews collected continuously into a form each framework expects, from one underlying source.

Assessment Support

We produce evidence, answer technical questions about the environment, and close findings that belong to the infrastructure layer, working alongside your assessor.

Framework Coverage

What each standard is, and what we do against it.

Federal & Defense

FedRAMP (Low / Moderate / High)

The federal authorization programme for cloud services, built on the NIST SP 800-53 baselines.

Environment design against the baseline, control implementation, and the evidence package your 3PAO and agency sponsor review.

FedRAMP 20x

The automation-first authorization path introduced in 2025, using machine-readable Key Security Indicators and continuous validation in place of point-in-time control review. Classes A, B, and C are available now; Class D for high-impact services is expected in FY27.

KSI instrumentation, continuous validation pipelines, and the automated evidence generation the model depends on.

NIST SP 800-53

The control catalogue underneath FedRAMP and most federal system authorizations.

Control family implementation in AWS, mapped account by account, with technical controls enforced rather than described.

NIST SP 800-171 (Rev 3)

Protection requirements for Controlled Unclassified Information held in nonfederal systems, and the basis for CMMC Level 2.

Gap assessment against the requirement families, remediation, and the System Security Plan evidence supporting your SPRS score.

CMMC Level 1 & 2

The Department of Defense certification programme for contractors handling FCI and CUI, now phasing into solicitations following the final rule.

Environment readiness for a Level 2 assessment, covering the practices that live in your AWS configuration.

DFARS 252.204-7012

The contract clause requiring adequate security and 72-hour incident reporting for covered defense information.

Safeguarding controls, incident detection, and the reporting path the clause obligates.

ITAR & Export-Controlled Workloads

Export control obligations covering defense articles and technical data.

AWS GovCloud (US) environments with the access restrictions and data residency those obligations require.

Higher Education

HECVAT

The vendor assessment toolkit institutions send before purchasing, maintained by EDUCAUSE. A questionnaire rather than a certification, and the gate most edtech deals actually pass through.

We complete the infrastructure, hosting, and security sections with evidence from your live environment, which is where most of the questions land.

FERPA

Federal protection for student education records, binding on institutions and on the vendors handling records on their behalf.

Access control, audit logging, retention and deletion, and data residency built to support your school official designation.

GLBA Safeguards Rule

Information security requirements reaching institutions through federal financial aid data, and examined during Department of Education audits.

Safeguards implementation, access control, and the monitoring evidence an audit asks for.

Research Security (CUI)

Federally funded research increasingly carries Controlled Unclassified Information, bringing NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS flow-downs onto campus through subawards.

Segregated research enclaves built to the same standard as our federal work, so a CUI award does not require re-architecting the institution.

TX-RAMP & StateRAMP

State authorization programmes modelled on FedRAMP. TX-RAMP is a condition of sale for Texas public institutions, including higher education.

The same environment and evidence work as FedRAMP, mapped to the relevant state baseline.

Life Sciences

FDA 21 CFR Part 11

Requirements for electronic records and electronic signatures in FDA-regulated systems.

Audit trail integrity, access control, and record retention built into the environment.

EU GMP Annex 11

European requirements for computerised systems used in GMP-regulated activities.

Qualified infrastructure, change control, and the evidence your quality organization relies on.

GAMP 5 (2nd Edition)

The ISPE risk-based framework for validating computerised systems.

Infrastructure qualification aligned to your validation approach, with automated IQ evidence.

Computer Software Assurance

Final FDA guidance favouring critical thinking and risk-based testing over documentation volume.

Automated qualification evidence supporting a CSA approach in place of manual screenshot packs.

Commercial & Healthcare

SOC 2 (Type I & Type II)

AICPA Trust Services Criteria, the common assurance report for SaaS and service organizations.

Control implementation across Security, Availability, and Confidentiality, with the continuous evidence a Type II observation period needs.

ISO/IEC 27001:2022

The international standard for information security management systems.

Annex A controls implemented in AWS, with technical evidence for your certification body.

PCI DSS v4.0

Security requirements for environments that store, process, or transmit cardholder data.

Segmentation to keep the in-scope estate small, with logging and controls implemented where the assessment reaches.

HITRUST CSF

A certifiable framework mapping HIPAA and other requirements into assessable controls, common among health plans and their vendors.

Control implementation in AWS and the technical evidence your assessor reviews.

HIPAA & HITECH

United States requirements for protecting electronic protected health information.

Environment design for PHI workloads: encryption, access control, and audit logging under your AWS Business Associate Addendum.

What You End Up With

Shared controls built once

Overlapping requirements implemented a single time and evidenced separately for each framework.

Evidence that stays current

Collected as the environment runs, so preparation is a review of what exists.

A clear line of ownership

We own the environment and the evidence. Your assessor owns the opinion, and you hold the certification.
