If your agency processes, stores, or transmits federal data through a cloud service provider — yes, FedRAMP authorization is required under OMB Memorandum M-23-22. The threshold is lower than most procurement officers expect: even SaaS tools used for citizen-facing workflows may qualify. Unauthorized cloud services discovered during an audit create material findings that delay funding cycles.

FedRAMP equivalency mapped, vendor gap analysis completed, procurement re-scoped before contract signature — avoided a $2.1M re-procurement.

The answer is strangler-fig architecture: you wrap the legacy system in modern APIs and migrate functionality incrementally, not all at once. COBOL mainframes running benefits disbursement or permit processing can run in parallel with a modern data layer for 12–18 months. The citizen never experiences downtime; the agency accretes capability. The critical variable is dependency mapping before the first sprint, not after.

Parallel-run migration to cloud-native platform. Zero service interruptions. 99.97% uptime maintained throughout. Legacy decommissioned on fiscal year deadline.

CMMC 2.0 replaces the self-attestation model with third-party assessments for Level 2 and Level 3 contractors. If your agency holds DoD contracts — or your vendors do — the 110 controls in NIST SP 800-171 are now enforceable with contract penalties. The assessment cycle runs 6–12 months. Agencies that started in Q1 2025 are already ahead of the wave; agencies starting now are in the critical window.

An audit finding triggers a Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) — a structured remediation schedule with defined timelines and responsible parties. High-severity findings require a response within 30 days; moderate within 90. The risk is not the finding itself but the gap between finding date and documented response. Agencies that receive findings without a formalized POA&M process compound the risk at every subsequent audit.
