GovRAMP
GovRAMP (formerly StateRAMP) has quickly become the standard requirement for cloud vendors serving state and local government agencies. Much like FedRAMP, it assures vendors meet their minimum cybersecurity standards through independent assessments and continuous monitoring. However, the path to compliance can be complex, resource-intensive, and easy to get wrong without the right support.
Project Hosts simplifies the process. We provide a structured, turnkey approach to certification, eliminating the burden on your internal team. Whether you’re just beginning or ready to move full speed ahead, our tailored programs are designed to guide you through every stage of the process with confidence and clarity.

From FedRAMP to GovRAMP
Already FedRAMP Certified? You’re ahead of the game. GovRAMP recognizes FedRAMP-Certified products as a strong starting point.
Project Hosts helps you build on that foundation by mapping FedRAMP documentation to GovRAMP requirements, minimizing rework, and accelerating your path to the Authorized Product List. Our managed services, combined with the GSSOne, ensure you stay focused on your core mission while we manage the compliance work behind the scenes.
Once you’ve completed your security assessment, you can submit your documentation directly to GovRAMP without the need for a sponsor. Additionally, you do not need to wait for your FedRAMP Certification before submitting for a GovRAMP Certification. GovRAMP allows you to leverage your current documentation for an immediate review.
This approach enables you to initiate the GovRAMP Certification process promptly, accelerating your path to compliance and market readiness.
The Proof is in Our Partners
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.
The Project Hosts team went through a level of detail that definitely stood out. Which was helpful for us. From a business perspective, this was one thing that re-assured us that this was a good move.’
To maintain the environment at the level required, I would’ve had to hire six to seven people I didn’t have. Project Hosts was 30 to 40% less than what I could’ve done in-house.
Project Hosts accelerates the process and brings assurance of delivery. Improving the probability that were going to pass the audit on the first try.
You guys are teaming up with the service branch, speaking their lingo, running the RMF process, and directing the armed services to get our certification – I mean, that’s priceless. As we move through this process we are able to focus on our business.
