Case Study: ID Security Software Firm reduces FedRAMP time and costs with Coalfire and AWS ACE

a id security software firm reduces FedRAMP ATO time to under 90 days with Coalfire

An identity security software firm needed to achieve FedRAMP Authority to Operate (ATO) to comply with government security requirements but lacked the internal expertise and time to navigate the complex process. They partnered with vendor Coalfire and utilized its Accelerated Cloud Engineering (ACE) solution to design and build a secure, audit-ready cloud environment on AWS.

Coalfire implemented its ACE solution, providing a structured approach that included gap analysis, environment design, and compliance testing. This enabled the firm to complete the FedRAMP authorization process in less than 90 days, a fraction of the typical 12-18 month timeline. The solution resulted in a 47% reduction in engineering costs and provided a reusable framework for future compliance efforts.
