FedRAMP® By The Numbers
Only ~400 companies are listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace - and they're capturing a $12 billion federal cloud market. This free infographic shows you exactly who's winning, which agencies are sponsoring listings, and how commercial software teams are getting authorized in as little as 90 days.

FedRAMP - the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program - is the U.S. government's standardized framework for authorizing cloud service providers (CSPs) to operate within federal civilian agencies. Built on NIST's Risk Management Framework (RMF) and the security control catalog in NIST SP 800-53, FedRAMP exists for one reason: to eliminate the costly, duplicative security reviews that agencies used to conduct independently for every new software vendor. Instead of every agency starting from scratch, FedRAMP creates a reusable authorization that commercial software companies can leverage across multiple federal buyers. If your software processes, stores, or transmits federal data, FedRAMP authorization isn't optional - it's the entry point to the federal civilian market.
| FEDRAMP | DoW ATO | |
|---|---|---|
| Serves | Federal civilian agencies (VA, EPA, SSA, etc.) | Department of War (DoW) / defense agencies |
| Based on | NIST RMF + SP 800-53 | NIST RMF + DoW-specific impact levels (IL2–IL6) |
| Authorization Body | FedRAMP PMO | Authorizing Official (AO) within each DoW component |
| Marketplace | fedramp.gov (~400 listed CSPs) | No single marketplace - authorization is mission-specific |
| Key Benefit | Reusable across civilian agencies | Can serve as strategic bridge for DoW reciprocity |
FedRAMP Low - Systems with minimal risk; limited adverse impact if compromised
FedRAMP Moderate - Most common level for CSPs; protects moderate-sensitivity data
FedRAMP High - Highest security tier for unclassified data; covers systems where a breach could cause severe impact (e.g., emergency services, health, financial)
The FedRAMP Marketplace at fedramp.gov lists the cloud service providers (CSPs) that are either fully authorized or currently in process. Understanding who's in - and more importantly who isn't - is the first strategic move for any commercial software team eyeing the federal civilian market.
That represents a small fraction of the commercial software market - the barrier to entry is high, but so is the reward.
One of the largest technology buyer markets in the world, with procurement growing year over year.
The compliance gauntlet is real. Most commercial teams underestimate the effort - and pay for it.
Knowing which agencies are most active as sponsors shapes your go-to-market strategy.

The FedRAMP authorization process isn't a simple certification. It's a risk-management journey with multiple phases, multiple stakeholders, and no single approval event. Companies that treat it as a documentation exercise - rather than a security and compliance discipline - consistently hit the same walls.
Without a pre-authorized platform, the typical path to FedRAMP authorization takes 18–24 months. First-time vendors and teams with complex system boundaries almost always land on the longer end. Every month of delay is a month your sales team can't close federal contracts.
Building your own compliant infrastructure - secure cloud environment, monitoring systems, documentation automation, compliance tooling - can exceed $3M before you've written a single line of product code. Most commercial SaaS companies don't have that runway.
FedRAMP requires specialized expertise: cleared security engineers, RMF practitioners, NIST SP 800-53 specialists. These roles are rare, expensive, and don't contribute to your product roadmap. Hiring them is a compliance tax on your engineering org.
Poor system scoping is one of the most common - and most costly - mistakes in the FedRAMP process. Boundary errors that include unnecessary components can force teams to restart the entire authorization process, causing many to lose their initial government contract.
"These aren't failures of vision - they're failures of execution, driven by the immense expertise and effort required to navigate the authorization process without the right infrastructure beneath you. The good news is that this is a solvable problem. Commercial software teams that inherit an already-authorized platform skip the infrastructure build, the talent search, and years of waiting - and get to market in a fraction of the time."
2F Game Warden® is a FedRAMP High Authorized DevSecOps platform built for commercial software companies that need to deploy applications in government environments - without building the compliance infrastructure from scratch. Instead of starting at zero, your team deploys onto Game Warden and inherits our existing security controls. That means you're not building a compliant cloud environment - you're deploying into one that's already been authorized at the highest unclassified tier.
Fastest path. No sponsor required. Deploy on Game Warden and inherit our FedRAMP High authorization. Best for teams proving out their federal business before pursuing a dedicated listing.
Your team gets a dedicated, independent listing on the FedRAMP Marketplace. More rigorous - but you own the listing, not a partner's entry. Built for scale.
For teams selling into the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) who need to demonstrate FedRAMP Moderate equivalency without obtaining a formal authorization. Satisfies DoW contractor requirements.
FedRAMP High Authorized - the highest unclassified tier, covering Low, Moderate, and High impact levels
Continuous monitoring built in - automated vulnerability scanning, 24/7 incident response, 3PAO audit readiness
