CobbleStone Software Achieves FedRAMP Ready Status

CobbleStone Software has recently announced a significant milestone in its journey towards enhancing security measures for its flagship product, CobbleStone Contract Insight®. By achieving the FedRAMP Ready status, the company is paving the way for better compliance and security in federal operations, marking a noteworthy step in its authorization efforts.

What is FedRAMP Ready Status?

FedRAMP, which stands for the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, is a U.S. government program that standardizes the approach to security assessments, authorization, and continuous monitoring of cloud services used by federal agencies. The FedRAMP Ready designation is a preliminary acknowledgment that a service provider has met the initial security documentation and system readiness criteria that make their product suitable for federal adoption.

The rigorous assessment process involves an independent review conducted by a FedRAMP-accredited Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO). CobbleStone successfully partnered with A‑LIGN for its evaluation, which validated the company’s commitment to stringent security practices aligned with federal cybersecurity expectations.

Implications of FedRAMP Ready Status for CobbleStone Software

Achieving this designation not only provides an important validation of CobbleStone Software’s security controls but it also means that the team is ready to move further along the authorization path. The organization is actively seeking a federal agency sponsor to facilitate the formal review and authorization process, which is crucial to gain full FedRAMP authorization.

Once authorized, CobbleStone Contract Insight will offer a robust cloud-based solution specifically tailored for contract lifecycle management (CLM) and eProcurement. This capability will empower federal agencies to handle mission-critical processes securely and efficiently, thereby boosting transparency, compliance, and efficiency in contract and procurement operations.

CEO and Founder Mark Nastasi expressed his enthusiasm regarding this development, stating, "FedRAMP Ready status is a major milestone for CobbleStone Software and a testament to our commitment to meeting the rigorous security standards required by the federal government. This achievement positions us to take the next step toward full authorization and expand secure access to our platform across the federal marketplace."

The Path Forward

To realize full FedRAMP authorization, CobbleStone Software must complete the remaining requirements and navigate through a formal authorization process with its agency sponsor. Federal agencies interested in sponsoring CobbleStone Software are encouraged to reach out with relevant details, including agency name and a primary contact.

As the technology landscape continues to evolve, the push for security compliance is more crucial than ever, and CobbleStone Software’s proactive steps toward FedRAMP readiness reflect a strong commitment to providing secure, compliant solutions for federal operations.
