Getting a web-based SaaS to the U.S. Government—especially without being a Program of Record—can feel like an uphill battle through a maze of complete bureaucracy. Between FedRAMP, DISA, and the Lead ISSM at the department, conflicting requirements and unclear pathways are more common than clear answers.
Recently, our CTO John Casano had the opportunity to speak with several 3PAOs (Third-Party Assessment Organizations), and were was fortunate enough to connect with David Clevenger, who runs all audits at Fortreum.
David was the opposite of a typical salesperson (something we all appreciate). Instead of pushing an agenda, he took the time to truly understand what we were trying to achieve. Not only was David incredibly knowledgeable about the entire process, but he was also patient as we walked him through our specific challenges with the USMC. His deep expertise and personal connections within DISA and FedRAMP proved that he's been through this many times before and had a clear path to move forward.
If you're trying to cut through the bureaucratic red tape to bring solutions to the DoD, we highly recommend reaching out to David Clevenger (dclevenger@fortreum.com) at Forteum. His insight and connections made a world of difference for us, and we think he can do the same for you.
