Consulting for Government: FedRAMP, CMMC, and Mission Data
.avif)




We prepare cloud vendors for FedRAMP along both working paths, agency sponsorship or a FedStart-style hosted enclave, and take defense contractors through CMMC scoping and NIST SP 800-171 implementation. The certified assessor who examines you is someone else entirely, which means our only job is getting you ready.
FedRAMP Moderate and High baselines now require red team exercises under CA-8(2), on top of the six mandatory penetration test attack vectors. We perform both, and we write the RTTP and RTTR so a 3PAO can attest to them. Findings come ranked by exploitability, with the evidence trail an authorizing official expects.
Compliance is half the work. The other half is the mission data itself: we build data platforms that put governed, queryable data in front of analysts and program staff, on Palantir Foundry and open stacks. For vendors selling to states, StateRAMP's fast track gives real credit for the FedRAMP evidence you already hold.
The EPA has always been at the forefront of environmental protection and conservation. With a mission to protect and ensure a cleaner, healthier environment for all, the agency recognized the potential of digital platforms to support and enhance its operations, outreach, and impact. Embracing the digital age, the EPA embarked on a journey of digital transformation.
Government agencies often face unique challenges when it comes to digital transformation. For the EPA, it was essential to integrate digital solutions that would streamline operations, enhance data collection and analysis, and improve public engagement, all while ensuring they maintain the highest standards of data security and regulatory compliance.
BD Emerson, with its expertise in digital solutions and cybersecurity services for government agencies, partnered with the EPA. The collaboration involved a thorough assessment of the EPA's existing cybersecurity processes, infrastructure, and objectives. Based on this analysis, the security teams at BD Emerson designed a comprehensive digital transformation and cybersecurity strategy tailored to the EPA's needs.
Key initiatives included:
The digital transformation initiative revolutionized the EPA's operations. With access to enhanced data capabilities, the agency could make more informed decisions. Improved access to public engagement platforms ensured that the community was more involved and informed. Overall, the digital transformation process not only optimized the EPA's operations but also amplified its impact on environmental protection.
