Trusted Expertise from the GovRAMP PMO

As the founding GovRAMP PMO, RAMPQuest administers the verification process, from intake and independent review through ongoing continuous monitoring, including Fast Track submissions.

Our Consulting & Advisory team can help you evaluate and prepare your FedRAMP package, while the PMO independently reviews Fast Track submissions against GovRAMP requirements.

Why Fast Track Matters for Business

GovRAMP timelines affect revenue, procurement cycles, and when you can enter new markets. Fast Track helps turn the FedRAMP work you’ve already done into opportunity.

Faster Entry into SLED Markets

Your FedRAMP work already demonstrates strong security. Fast Track puts it to work in state, local, and education markets, so you can compete sooner.

Lower Compliance Costs

You've already invested in the hard part. Get more value from your FedRAMP investment by reducing duplicate work and unnecessary spend.

Better Use of Internal Resources

The heavy lifting is already done. Reuse your FedRAMP materials, so your team can stay focused on growth and customers instead of repeat paperwork.

Less Rework and Fewer Delays

Well-aligned materials mean fewer follow-up requests and less back-and-forth during review, so you can reach revenue-generating opportunities sooner.

The Path to GovRAMP Verification Through Fast Track

Many organizations already have security controls in place. The challenge is bringing people, processes, and documentation together in a way that supports a successful assessment.

Step 1: Submit a Security Review Request

Start by letting the PMO know you’re pursuing GovRAMP through Fast Track. Sharing your product details and current FedRAMP status upfront helps the PMO confirm Fast Track is the right path and sets clear expectations for what comes next.

Step 2: Provide Your FedRAMP Materials

Submit your FedRAMP security package and applicable 3PAO results, such as your SAR or RAR. The PMO confirms everything is complete before review begins, so missing or outdated materials can slow your start. Organizing your package now saves time later.

Step 3: PMO Review

The PMO reviews your materials against GovRAMP requirements and determines how they apply to the status you’re pursuing. If anything additional is needed, you’ll know exactly what to address. With a complete package, most PMO security reviews take four to six weeks.

Step 4: Maintain Your Status

Verification is an ongoing commitment. You’ll maintain your status through continuous monitoring and annual reassessment, the same as the standard path. Aligning your GovRAMP and FedRAMP monitoring activities can help you avoid duplicate effort year after year.

Move Faster Without Compromising Security

Fast Track can reduce the time and effort required to achieve GovRAMP Verification, but only when your documentation, assessment results, and submission are properly aligned.

Let's discuss whether Fast Track is the right path for your organization and how RAMPQuest can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GovRAMP Fast Track Program?

The GovRAMP Fast Track Program allows service providers to submit an existing FedRAMP-aligned security package, along with an approved 3PAO assessment, directly to the GovRAMP PMO. Instead of rebuilding documentation or repeating assessments, organizations can reuse completed federal security work to move faster toward GovRAMP verification.

Does GovRAMP Fast Track replace the standard GovRAMP process?

No. Fast Track does not replace the standard GovRAMP process.

All GovRAMP security requirements still apply. Fast Track improves coordination and allows eligible organizations to reuse existing FedRAMP materials to reduce duplication and delays.

What Existing Security Work Can You Reuse?

One of the biggest advantages of Fast Track is the ability to leverage security work your organization has already completed.

Depending on your current federal security status and the applicability of the documentation, existing materials may include:

Security Assessment Reports (SARs)
Readiness Assessment Reports (RARs)
Continuous monitoring documentation
System Security Plans and supporting security documentation
Other applicable 3PAO assessment documentation

The GovRAMP PMO determines how submitted materials align with applicable GovRAMP requirements. Organizations should not assume that every existing artifact will transfer directly or eliminate all additional review or assessment requirements.

Do I need a 3PAO audit for GovRAMP Fast Track?

Yes. A 3PAO assessment is still required.

However, if you already have FedRAMP 3PAO results, those may be reused where applicable.

What does GovRAMP Fast Track cost?

GovRAMP Fast Track follows the same pricing structure as the standard GovRAMP verification process. Specific pricing varies by verification status.

Maintaining status also requires adherence to ongoing continuous monitoring requirements.
