Agency ATO Path

Federal agencies can pursue their own ATO using Passcore's full documentation package. We provide SSP, SAR templates, POA&M, and evidence artifacts.

What's included in the documentation package

Every organization pursuing an ATO with Passcore Defense receives:

  • System Security Plan (SSP), pre-populated with Passcore control implementations
  • NIST 800-53 Rev5 control mapping for your selected baseline (Low, Moderate, or High)
  • Security Assessment Report (SAR) template
  • Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) template
  • Evidence artifacts for all implemented controls
  • Penetration testing coordination and results
  • Continuous monitoring plan

The path to authorization

The FedRAMP authorization process typically takes 6–18 months depending on the pathway chosen and agency resources. Passcore's compliance team has supported multiple federal ATO engagements and can accelerate your timeline by providing pre-packaged documentation.

Supported deployment models

For FedRAMP-covered workloads, Passcore Defense can be deployed in AWS GovCloud (US), which provides FedRAMP High-authorized underlying infrastructure. Dedicated government cloud environments are also available for larger agencies.
