Beyond Identity Accelerates
FedRAMP Certification with RapidFort

Industry

Identity and Access Management

Challenge

Achieve FedRAMP Moderate certification efficiently and cost-effectively while maintaining development speed and audit readiness

Solution

RapidFort Platform and Curated Near Zero CVE Images

The Challenge

Beyond Identity, a leading provider of identity and access management solutions, needed to achieve FedRAMP Moderate certification under tight deadlines and complex compliance requirements. FedRAMP certification involves extensive documentation, rigorous security testing, and ongoing alignment with federal standards. Beyond Identity sought to simplify and accelerate this process without diverting engineering resources from core product innovation.

Vulnerability Management

Container images required significant hardening to eliminate unnecessary packages and open vulnerabilities.

Continuous Compliance

Monthly audits required continuous monitoring and consistent documentation for ongoing compliance.

Engineering Efficiency

Manual SSDLC and image management consumed valuable engineering time.

Federal Market Entry

Meeting FedRAMP timelines was critical to accelerate entry into the U.S. federal market.

The Solution

Beyond Identity selected the RapidFort Platform and Curated Near Zero CVE Images to accelerate FedRAMP readiness and reduce engineering workload. RapidFort’s platform provided these key capabilities:

Pre-Hardened, Near Zero CVE Images

Hardened base images aligned with NIST 800-70 and FIPS 140-2/3 standards, significantly reducing setup time.

FedRAMP-Specific Audit Support
