FedRAMP is the ticket to entry into the US public sector, unlocking access to $50B+ in annual federal IT spending. But it’s 325+ prescriptive controls can stall engineering velocity if treated like paperwork.
We took a different path. By embedding NIST 800-53 controls into infrastructure-as-code and automating continuous monitoring through CI/CD, we advanced from SOC 2 to FedRAMP efficiently. In this talk, we’ll share how DevOps practices turned compliance into code — accelerating delivery while meeting federal requirements.
