FAQ
Q: Can any system get ATO in 30 days? A: No. The 30-day timeline requires executive sponsorship, 3-5 dedicated staff, stable architecture, implemented security controls, and engaged stakeholders. Use the readiness assessment to determine if you're prepared.
Q: Does this work for FedRAMP or just agency ATOs? A: The RMF framework applies to both. FedRAMP timelines are typically longer, but the acceleration techniques (inheritance, continuous authorization) are directly applicable.
Q: What if we're starting from scratch? A: The roadmap assumes controls are implemented. Budget 3-6 months for implementation before entering the 30-day authorization sprint. The control documentation framework will still accelerate your preparation phase.
