Key Components

• Control Selection and Tailoring: Centris works with organizations to determine the specific set of FedRAMP security controls applicable to their cloud service offering. Control selection is based on the impact level of the system (Low, Moderate, or High) and the nature of the data being handled.
• Control Implementation Planning: We develop a detailed plan for the implementation of each selected security control. This plan includes assigning responsibilities, setting deadlines, and specifying the technical and procedural measures required for compliance.
• Access Control Configuration: Centris assists in configuring access control measures such as identity and access management (IAM) systems. This includes defining user roles and permissions, authentication mechanisms, and user provisioning processes.
• Data Encryption and Protection: For systems handling sensitive data, Centris guides organizations in implementing encryption mechanisms to protect data at rest and in transit. We ensure that encryption protocols and key management practices align with FedRAMP requirements.
• Vulnerability Management: Centris helps organizations establish vulnerability management processes, including vulnerability scanning and patch management. We assist in configuring and scheduling regular vulnerability assessments to identify and remediate security weaknesses.
• Logging and Monitoring Setup: Proper logging and monitoring are critical for detecting and responding to security incidents. Centris assists in configuring logging solutions and security information and event management (SIEM) systems.
• Incident Response Preparedness: We guide organizations in developing and implementing incident response procedures and workflows. This includes defining roles and responsibilities for incident handling and communication protocols.
• Physical Security Controls: For systems with physical components, Centris helps implement appropriate physical security controls. This may include access controls for data centers and facilities housing infrastructure.
• Network Security Measures: Centris provides guidance on configuring firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and network segmentation to protect against unauthorized access and threats.
• Security Awareness Training: We assist organizations in establishing security awareness training programs for staff and personnel. Training covers security policies, best practices, and incident reporting procedures.
• Documentation of Control Implementation: As controls are implemented, Centris ensures that detailed documentation is maintained. This documentation serves as evidence of control implementation during FedRAMP assessments.

Benefits

• Customized Implementation: Centris tailors the implementation of security controls to the specific needs of the organization and its cloud service offering.
