Consulting for Government: FedRAMP, CMMC, and Mission Data

FedRAMP and CMMC programs, penetration testing across the six mandatory attack vectors and red team exercises that satisfy CA-8(2), and the data platform work that turns mission data into decisions people act on.

Overview

How we help

Most of our federal work starts with a contract on the line: a cloud vendor that needs FedRAMP to close an agency sale, or a defense supplier facing CMMC flow-downs from its primes.

We scope CUI, implement the controls, and build the evidence an authorizing official will accept. We are not a C3PAO or 3PAO; a separate certified assessor conducts the assessment itself.

Experience

We have taken vendors from first gap assessment through FedRAMP authorization and CMMC Level 2 readiness.

Expertise

We write SSPs, run CA-8(2) red team exercises, and build POA&Ms agencies accept.

The Team

Compliance leads and penetration testers work the same engagement, so documented controls match the systems as deployed.

If a federal contract depends on FedRAMP or CMMC, start with a gap assessment that tells you the real distance to authorization.

Why BD Emerson

01

FedRAMP and CMMC readiness

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.

02

Red team exercises and penetration testing

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.

03

Mission data platforms

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.

Certificates

Our accreditations

At BD Emerson, we believe that our team's extensive certifications not only set us apart but also ensure that we provide the highest level of service to our clients.
