Case Study: FedRAMP achieves rapid compliance and avoids penalties with Harness IDP Scorecards

How an AI Data Management company used IDP Scorecards to rapidly achieve FIPS 140-2 and FedRAMP compliance

FedRAMP, an AI data management company, faced a high-stakes compliance deadline with the risk of major financial penalties if it could not quickly prove FIPS 140-2 and FedRAMP compliance across its software services. The company turned to Harness and its Internal Developer Portal, specifically IDP Scorecards, to gain visibility into compliance status and identify problem areas fast.

Using Harness IDP, FedRAMP prioritized remediation efforts, determined when to fix issues versus buy compliant base images, and continuously monitored new services for compliance. Harness helped the company achieve FIPS compliance within a very tight timeframe, avoid significant penalties, and justify spending on ChainGuard images costing $35,000 per image per year.
