FedRAMP High Support For Federal Workloads

FedRAMP High is the highest impact authorization level within the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). It is designed for cloud services that support federal systems where the loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability could have a significant impact.

The framework is based on NIST SP 800-53 Revision 5 and includes rigorous security controls, independent assessments, continuous monitoring, and an authorization process before cloud services can be used by federal agencies.

TeamSync is designed to support organizations that need to align document management, records governance, and security controls with FedRAMP High requirements.

What FedRAMP High Requires

• NIST 800-53 Rev 5 High baseline: 421 controls across 20 control families (AC, AT, AU, CA, CM, CP, IA, IR, MA, MP, PE, PL, PM, PS, PT, RA, SA, SC, SI, SR)

• Authorisation pathway: 3PAO assessment, followed by a System Security Plan (SSP), Security Assessment Report (SAR), Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M), and finally an Authority to Operate (ATO)

• Continuous monitoring: monthly vulnerability scanning, annual assessment of a subset of controls, and re-assessment after significant changes

• US-person personnel requirement: system administrators must hold US person status, with background investigations required per personnel category

How TeamSync Supports FedRAMP High Compliance

1. NIST 800-53 Rev 5 High baseline, implemented and 3PAO-assessed
All 421 controls are implemented, the 3PAO assessment is complete, and the SSP, SAR, and POA&M are actively maintained.

2. ATO inheritance
Agency authorising officials can inherit TeamSync's existing controls, narrowing the agency's own ATO scope to just the agency-controlled boundary.

3. HSPD-12 / FIPS 201 / PIV authentication
Federal credential authentication is supported through RBAC and Backup integration with PIV-issuing certificate authorities.

4. Continuous monitoring
Monthly vulnerability scans, annual assessments, and re-assessment after significant changes are built into ongoing operations.

5. CJIS / IL5 / DoD overlay readiness
Ready for the CJIS Security Policy v5.9+ overlay, with a path planned for IL5 / DoD CC SRG.

6. A single audit trail for agency-relevant events
Agency record events are anchored to a cryptographic audit ledger, with reports pre-formatted for IG, NARA, or Congressional inquiries.
