State, local, and education (SLED) is a highly regulated, multibillion-dollar cloud services market,
and the Government Risk and Authorization Management Program (GovRAMP) is your access pass.
38North Security’s deep technical expertise and proven experience pave the way so you can compete.
Since the launch of GovRAMP, our security experts have supported numerous organizations on their journey to authorization.
From readiness and gap analysis, to documentation, remediation, and hands-on engineering support, we guide you through every step of the process.
GovRAMP sets the standard for security compliance across state and local agencies. Achieving authorization allows your organization to:
Clarify scope, timelines, and your best path to authorization.
Identify missing controls and implement the required security, policy, and architectural updates before assessment.
Prepare a compliant, audit-ready package designed for first-pass success.
Maintain your authorization year over year.
Our low-friction process eliminates confusion and minimizes rework, helping you get it right the first time and move through GovRAMP with confidence.
Every phase is led by our in-house GovRAMP team: no handoffs, no external consultant delays, just a disciplined process designed for accuracy and momentum.
Our guidance is never outsourced. You work directly with certified, U.S.-based specialists who have walked hundreds of companies through authorization.
Get immediate answers from experts who know your system.
Faster reviews, fewer revisions, smoother coordination.
One accountable team from start to finish.
No hidden consultant markups: predictable, value-based costs.
GovRAMP and FedRAMP are two separate authorization programs that both draw from the NIST 800-53 Rev 5 control baseline. However, they serve different buyers and have different review processes.
If you already have a Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) ATO, you may have a head start on certain security controls, but there is no automatic inheritance path.
GovRAMP has its own requirements, its own package expectations, and its own review workflow through the state and local Program Management Office.
Where FedRAMP focuses on federal agencies, GovRAMP opens the door to state, local, and education markets, including some of the largest public-sector economies in the country.
For organizations considering both, our team can help you understand:
We stay current on every update to GovRAMP, FedRAMP, and FedRAMP 20x, and we’ll tell you plainly what matters for your authorization path, and what doesn’t.
Before you start your 3PAO engagement, know exactly where you stand.
Our GovRAMP Gap Analysis gives you:
You’ll walk away knowing what’s done, what’s missing, and what it’ll take to get to “Authorized.”
Simplify compliance. Streamline authorization. Strengthen trust.
Partner with 38North and unlock a new wave of government opportunity.
