FedRAMP and cybersecurity advisory
Cybermatiq helps cloud providers and federal contractors meet FedRAMP 20x and Rev 5 requirements, prepare for assessment, and build security programs that hold up. We start with a clear picture of where you stand, then guide your team through what comes next.
Who we work with
Whether you are preparing a first authorization or maintaining one, we help teams show their security work to federal customers and assessors.
Companies bringing a cloud service to federal agencies for the first time, or maintaining an authorization that is already in place.
Teams that need NIST 800-53 or CMMC readiness to win work and keep it.
Teams that need training, program structure, or a second set of experienced eyes on their evidence.
Services
Each engagement is scoped to your environment, your target framework, and your timeline.
Guidance from readiness through certification preparation for cloud service providers pursuing 20x.
Ongoing support for cloud providers that hold a FedRAMP Rev 5 authorization and need to keep their package accurate and current.
Preparation for independent assessment, followed by recurring advisory support as the authorization matures.
Guidance on what your trust center contains, who can access it, and how certification data is shared.
Readiness and implementation advisory for the frameworks federal customers and contracts call for.
Policies, procedures, and governance that fit how your organization operates.
Training and CPE
Classes for compliance, security, and engineering teams working under FedRAMP, RMF, and CMMC. Each runs one to five days, in person or virtually, and offers CPE credit.
How governance, risk, and compliance fit together: policies, risk decisions, controls, and evidence. A good starting point for new team members.
How cloud providers approach FedRAMP today: the 20x rules, Key Security Indicators, certification classes, and what changes for an existing Rev 5 authorization.
Level 1 and Level 2 requirements, how to scope the environment that handles controlled unclassified information (CUI), and how to organize evidence for assessment.
Designing measures and evidence for FedRAMP and RMF continuous monitoring: sources, collection cadence, review workflows, and reporting that holds up at assessment.
A hands-on course for practitioners preparing categorization, control selection, and authorization packages under NIST SP 800-37 and NIST SP 800-53.
Tailored to your frameworks, systems, and staff. Any class above can be adapted, or we can build a new one, in person or virtually.

Confirm the boundary and target class, review your current environment, and identify readiness items with owners and priorities.
Typically 2 to 3 weeksA prioritized plan showing what we advise on, what your engineers build, and the effort each item requires.
Delivered with discoveryMonthly guidance on documents, evidence, and procedures, with progress reports and the decisions your team needs to make.
Monthly, approved in advanceAssessor coordination, evidence indexes, responses to findings, and optional ongoing support after assessment.
As the authorization requiresEngagements
Every engagement states what is included and what it will cost before work begins.
A defined readiness assessment with written deliverables.
A set monthly allowance of consulting hours for an initial three-month term.
Scheduled advisory hours after your authorization is in place.
FAQ
If your question is not here, email us and we will reply.
No. We advise and prepare your team. Independent assessment is performed by a FedRAMP-recognized assessor you contract separately, and certification decisions rest with the government.
Yes. For a Rev 5 authorization, we review your System Security Plan against your impact level, help write control implementation statements, track POA&M items, prepare monthly continuous monitoring deliverables, draft significant change requests, and help you get ready for your annual 3PAO assessment. When you are ready to plan a move, we can compare the paths with you.
No. Many teams start with little or no documentation, and some are new to FedRAMP entirely. We begin with a readiness assessment, explain what applies to you, and build the plan from there.
Each class lists its CPE hours, based on 8 hours of instruction per day. Check your certifying body's rules to confirm how a class counts toward your requirement.
Advisory work is performed remotely during mutually agreed business hours. Training is offered both in person and virtually.
Discovery is a fixed fee. Implementation advisory is a monthly capped allowance. Contact us for a scoping conversation and a written proposal.
