Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We partnered with Bounty Defense Solutions to conduct a comprehensive review of our SaaS Platform and associated corporate services against the FedRAMP Moderate control set and applicable federal mandates. The primary goal of this assessment was to identify gaps within our information systems and provide actionable recommendations for remediation, ensuring alignment with FedRAMP Moderate requirements and enhancing the organization's overall security posture.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Identified control gaps across NIST 800-53 Rev. 5 baseline controls.
Achieved closure or mitigation plans for many Moderate baseline gaps within the assessment period.
 

Successfully mapped internal policies, technical controls, and operational procedures to 100% of required FedRAMP controls (baseline + overlays).

Conducted many cross-functional FedRAMP readiness workshops and raised awareness.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What stood out most about this company was their unwavering commitment to clarity, quality, and collaboration throughout the FedRAMP gap assessment.

They consistently demonstrated clear, proactive communication — ensuring all stakeholders, from engineering to compliance, were aligned on requirements, timelines, and next steps.
Complex NIST 800-53 controls were not only interpreted accurately, but explained with practical, actionable context, making implementation easier for technical teams.

Rather than limiting their scope to identifying gaps, Branden regularly proposed remediation strategies.
Their ownership mindset showed in how they anticipated challenges, validated assumptions with 3PAO standards, and worked cross-functionally to close the loop on open issues.
 

They weren’t just checking boxes — they demonstrated a real commitment to helping us build a sustainable FedRAMP posture.
Whether it was mapping informal practices to formal controls, educating stakeholders, or bridging gaps between security and DevOps, their diligence and follow-through were exceptional.
 
 

Are there any areas for improvement or something Bounty Defense Solutions could have done differently?

The team’s adaptability, attention to detail, and collaborative posture more than made up for any minor process refinements needed.
