Achieving and Sustaining Your ATO Compliance

Compliance is not a one-time event but an ongoing commitment to maintaining a strong security posture. Once you achieve authorization, Dito’s team can remain by your side with continuous monitoring services, helping you adapt to new requirements, conduct regular assessments, and demonstrate ongoing compliance – or provide you with the tools and training to take this in-house. Either way, we want to ensure that your systems remain secure, compliant, and ready for federal scrutiny at any time.

Navigating the Compliance Journey

For organizations needing to meet the rigorous security and compliance standards (FedRAMP, DoD IL4+, CMMC, NIST, PCI-DSS, CSF 2.0), Dito’s Compliance FastTrack & ATO Services offer a range of tailored options designed to accelerate your path to authorization while enhancing your organization’s compliance posture. From initial discovery and expertise-on-demand, to full-scale documentation and continuous compliance monitoring, Dito’s ATO experts can support you through every phase of the journey, ensuring efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable compliance.

Achieving Authorization to Operate (ATO) is a comprehensive process that requires careful planning, coordination, and a structured approach to meet federal security standards. At Dito, we support your organization at every stage in the process, with services tailored to help you build the strong, compliant framework needed for a successful authorization.

Here’s what the roadmap to ATO typically looks like:

Launch Strategic Planning & Advisory

An ATO requires a well-defined compliance strategy. In this initial phase, we work closely with your team to develop a strategic plan that aligns with your business goals and federal requirements. This may include consulting on system architecture, data security, risk mitigation, and the creation of critical documentation like the System Security Plan (SSP), policies, and procedures.

ATO Readiness Assessment

A critical step to determine if your cloud environment is prepared for a full assessment, the readiness assessment is usually conducted by an accredited Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO). In this stage, Dito ensures your organization meets key readiness criteria and can proceed confidently to the full compliance assessment.

Gap Analysis & Pre-Assessment

Before a formal assessment, we perform a gap analysis to identify any areas requiring adjustment or enhancement. This pre-assessment offers a roadmap to compliance objectives, detailing tasks and actions needed to align with security baselines and setting the foundation for a successful final assessment.

Full Security Assessment

This phase includes a comprehensive security evaluation, encompassing vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and a review of your environment against the targeted security controls. Our team guides the documentation and compliance activities, ensuring the final Security Assessment Report (SAR) and supporting documents are prepared for submission to the authorizing federal agency.

Continuous Monitoring

Achieving an ATO is only the beginning. Ongoing compliance with established standards requires continuous monitoring to maintain your ATO status. We support your organization with monitoring tools, incident handling, and regular reviews to ensure your system remains secure and compliant, ready for periodic reassessments.
