Client Success Story
"I worked with Lori Crooks to develop our System Security Plan for FedRAMP at Alation over the course of about 8 weeks. Not only was she extremely pleasant to work with and showed up to every call with positive energy– but she proved to be a deep expert in translating NIST control language into plain English so that our team could scope our follow-up tasks to close gaps. Lori’s efficiency and expertise made a very heavy lift into a pleasure, and I would gladly work with her again."

Why Most Companies Struggle With FedRAMP
Getting FedRAMP Authorized can unlock major government contracts—but it’s not easy. Most teams hit the same roadblocks:
They don’t know how to find an agency sponsor (or even where to start)
The documentation is dense, technical, and constantly changing
Limited resources make it hard to juggle business needs and compliance work
One mistake can cause delays, rework, or worse—derail the whole process
No jargon. No pressure. Just expert guidance from a team that’s been there.

Success Story
“We undertook the FedRAMP certification process for the first time knowing we had a steep learning curve ahead of us. Lori and her team at Cadra flattened that curve substantially, both streamlining the document production process and providing expert guidance on how to adopt our policies and procedures to meet or exceed the standards on which we would be audited. When we delivered our SSP to our sponsor and our 3PAO, both commented that we were one of the most prepared CSPs they had seen in some time. I believe much of our success is due to Lori’s contribution to our submission.”
