Cloud Migration under Risk Management Framework

Compliance-aligned cloud migration meeting Risk Management Framework requirements

Overview

JaMaxwell migrates federal workloads to AWS GovCloud and Azure Government with FedRAMP-aligned architecture, automated provisioning through Infrastructure as Code, and continuous compliance monitoring. Migrations follow a phased approach: discovery and dependency mapping, landing zone build-out with security baselines, workload migration using rehost, replatform, or refactor strategies, and post-migration optimization. Every environment is provisioned with boundary protections, encrypted data stores, centralized logging, and identity federation through agency PIV/CAC infrastructure.

Risk Management Framework Requirements

The NIST Risk Management Framework (SP 800-37 Rev 2) provides a disciplined process for managing security and privacy risk: Prepare, Categorize, Select, Implement, Assess, Authorize, and Monitor. JaMaxwell executes all seven RMF steps for federal information systems. We categorize systems against FIPS 199, select and tailor control baselines, implement controls with technical and procedural measures, conduct independent assessments, prepare authorization packages for AOs, and operate continuous monitoring programs.
