Generate the Full ATO in a Month: The Palo Alto Networks Story
The average time to go from no System Security Plan (SSP) to "In-Process" status and to a complete Authorization To Operate (ATO) package is 702 days1. How did Palo Alto Networks do this with their Government Cloud Services - Prisma Access Package in only one month?
"These are some of the cleanest deliverables we've ever seen. Complete, accurate, concise." - FedRAMP PMO
The Power of Effective Risk Solutions
Palo Alto Networks already had top-notch Risk Solutions already operational, cataloged within their Risk Solutions library. Even though Prisma Access was a new package, they could demonstrate that these solutions were indeed functioning within its environment. Consequently, documenting the package was a matter of making a few selections, generating the new ATO package deliverables was swift. The feedback from the FedRAMP PMO was unequivocal, "These are some of the cleanest deliverables we've ever seen. Complete, accurate, concise."
