Our Approach
Navigating compliance frameworks, such as FedRAMP, DoW IL4 or IL5, GovRAMP, and HITRUST, isn’t just difficult — it’s resource-intensive, time-consuming, and easy to get wrong. Project Hosts simplifies the journey. We provide fully managed cloud compliance services that reduce your lift, accelerate certification, and keep you secure long after you’re listed.
Your Business Problems, Solved
No matter your needs, we’re here to help. With 20+ years of experience, we’ve seen the most common roadblocks and built a model to help you overcome them.
Market Access
Speed to ATO
You need certification quickly, without getting buried in documents or delays.
Resource Constraints
Cost Barriers
Risk Mitigation
Getting certified is just the start. You need to build a secure environment and ensure you stay compliant.
Agency Sponsorship
We don’t just advise — we execute. From kickoff to certification and on to continuous monitoring, our team carries the compliance burden so yours doesn’t have to.
Compliance-as-a-Service
Project Hosts delivers turnkey compliance through a proven process to remove complexity from your hands and places it in ours. Here’s what that looks like:
Inherit up to 75% of required controls
through our FedRAMP, DoW, and HITRUST-certified GSSOne solution, built on Azure and AWS.
Focus on your core business
while we write your SSP, collect evidence, and fully manage audit coordination, preparation and documentation.
Stay on a fast track
with a dedicated Customer Success Lead and direct access to our compliance and engineering teams.
Maintain continuous compliance
after certification with ongoing monitoring, patching, scanning, and incident response — fully managed by us.
Choose the path that fits your business case
with flexible pacing, modular support, and the ability to transition operations in-house when ready.
You don’t force us into your platform or make us use tool sets that aren’t in our native architecture. That flexibility was extremely attractive to us.
The Project Hosts environment allowed us to snap in our application into their existing environment, which is accelerating our time to market, reduce costs and control staffing.
