FedRAMP ATO Accelerator

Principal workflows

• Connect: The Accelerator connects read-only to your cloud accounts, infrastructure-as-code repositories, identity provider and security tools, and builds an inventory of the components inside the authorization boundary.
• Draft: For each control in the baseline, the Accelerator matches configuration settings and tool outputs to the control's requirements and drafts an implementation statement that cites the evidence it used.
• Assemble: Approved statements, the boundary inventory and evidence are assembled into the System Security Plan and its attachments, in OSCAL and in document form, for your assessor and authorizing official.
• Monitor: After authorization, the Accelerator keeps checking the configuration. When something changes, it shows which controls, statements and evidence are affected, and tracks scan findings and POA&M items for continuous monitoring.

Who uses it

• Software and cloud service providers pursuing FedRAMP authorization
• Agency system owners and ISSOs preparing an agency authorization to operate
• Compliance and GRC teams who write and maintain the security package
• Cloud and platform engineers who are asked to explain how controls are implemented
• Independent assessors and agency reviewers who need traceable evidence

Reporting

• Control status against the selected baseline
• Evidence coverage and evidence age
• Configuration drift since the last approved package
• POA&M items by severity, owner and milestone
• Monthly continuous monitoring deliverables
• Package version history and approvals

Features

• Configuration-based drafting: Implementation statements are drafted from the settings the Accelerator reads, and each one cites the configuration and tool outputs it relied on.
• Boundary inventory: Components discovered from your cloud accounts and repositories, with a person confirming what sits inside the authorization boundary.
• Control baselines: FedRAMP Low, Moderate and High baselines and NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 controls, with parameters and customer responsibilities recorded per control.
• Inherited and shared controls: Controls inherited from your infrastructure provider recorded with the source, so the plan shows what you implement and what you rely on.
• Evidence library: Evidence collected automatically where a connection allows, or uploaded by control owners, dated and linked to the controls it supports.
• Drift detection: Changes in configuration compared with the approved package, with the affected controls and statements flagged for review.
• Review and approval: Every drafted statement is reviewed by its control owner and approved by the compliance lead; nothing enters the package without a person's approval.
• OSCAL output: The SSP and related content produced in NIST's Open Security Controls Assessment Language as well as document form.
• POA&M tracking: Weaknesses from scans and assessments tracked as POA&M items with owners, milestones and status.
• Continuous monitoring: Scan results imported on your schedule and monthly deliverables assembled for the compliance lead to check and send.
• Package versions: Each approved package version kept, with a comparison of what changed between versions and who approved it.
• Assessor access: Read-only, time-limited access for assessors and agency reviewers to the package and evidence within the scope you grant.

Integrations

• Cloud provider accounts: Read-only connections to AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud accounts to read resource configuration, identity settings, logging and encryption settings.
• Infrastructure as code: Terraform and other infrastructure-as-code repositories read from your source control, so statements can cite the code that defines a setting.
• Identity provider: Your identity provider's settings for multi-factor authentication, session limits and group membership, used as evidence for access control statements.
• Vulnerability scanners: Scan results from the infrastructure, container and web application scanners you already use, imported for continuous monitoring and POA&M tracking.
• Ticketing systems: POA&M items and drift alerts can create tickets in Jira or ServiceNow, and ticket status is shown on the item.
• OSCAL export: SSP, POA&M and component content exported in OSCAL for your assessor, agency or FedRAMP submission.
• Single sign-on: Staff sign in through your identity provider (SAML or OpenID Connect).
• Software bill of materials: Component inventories from Moraph's Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) Watchtower or your own SBOM tooling, used for supply chain and configuration management controls.

Deployment

• Moraph cloud, United States: Hosted in the United States region, with package content and evidence kept in the US.
• Dedicated environment: A single-tenant environment for organizations that require isolation, scoped in the proposal.
• With a managed service: Optionally run alongside Moraph's FedRAMP High Managed Landing Zone or another Moraph managed service for platform and continuous monitoring support.

Security and privacy

• Read-only connections: Connections to your cloud accounts and repositories use read-only permissions; the Accelerator does not change your systems.
• Records kept in the United States: Package content and evidence for US government work are hosted in the United States region.
• Cleared support lane: Support tickets from federal clients are routed only to US citizens with active security clearances.
• Encryption under controlled keys: Client data is encrypted with keys Moraph staff cannot access without explicit, time-bound authorization.
• Complete audit trail: Every draft, edit, approval, export and access grant is recorded with the user and time, and cannot be edited.
• Independent audits: Moraph's controls are covered by its SOC 2 Type II report and ISO/IEC 27001 certification, available through the Trust Center.

Limitations

• The Accelerator does not grant or guarantee authorization. Authorization decisions are made by the authorizing official, and FedRAMP and agency review timelines are outside Moraph's control.
• Moraph holds no FedRAMP authorization for this product. We provide control documentation to support your own authorization decision about using it.
• It is not a third-party assessment organization and does not perform the independent assessment your authorization requires.
• Drafted statements are only as complete as the configuration it can read. Procedural, personnel and physical controls need people to write them and supply evidence.
• Every drafted statement must be reviewed by a person who knows the system; the Accelerator can misread intent from configuration alone.
• It reads configuration but does not change it, and does not remediate findings.
• It is not a vulnerability scanner. It imports results from the scanners you already use.
• It is designed for FedRAMP and NIST SP 800-53 based authorizations. Other frameworks are not included unless scoped separately.
