Insight Assurance Earns FedRAMP 3PAO Accreditation, Strengthening Federal Cloud Security Leadership

TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Insight Assurance, a global provider of audit and compliance services, today announced its accreditation as a Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP).

This accreditation authorizes Insight Assurance to conduct independent security assessments of cloud service providers (CSPs) pursuing cloud authorizations in the FedRAMP, Government Risk and Authorization Management Program (GovRAMP), and Department of Defense (DoD) cloud programs, a critical requirement for delivering secure cloud services to U.S. government, state, and DoD agencies. 

Technical leadership of the FedRAMP practice is overseen by Dr. Stephanie Carter, Head of Federal Cloud Compliance & Assessments, one of the industry's most seasoned FedRAMP experts. Over her 30+ year career, Dr. Carter has contributed to well over 100 FedRAMP authorizations, including 60–70 for Rev. 5 alone.  She has served in every role from project lead to lead assessor, compliance and technical advisor and reviewer, and contracted ISSO. She was instrumental in the seamless transition of more than 50 CSPs uplifting to Rev. 5 FedRAMP baselines, building security programs by developing and implementing program management for organizations and CSPs, and has been involved in shaping policy and best practices since the program's inception in 2011.

"Achieving FedRAMP authorization requires perseverance, critical thinking, and a commitment to continuous improvement," said Dr. Stephanie Carter, Head of Federal Cloud Compliance & Assessments at Insight Assurance. "I've dedicated my career to advancing efficiency and security in federal cloud adoption, from shaping DoD and DISA policies to guiding CSPs through Rev. 5. At Insight Assurance, we will carry that same tenacity and technical rigor forward as a 3PAO."

"Achieving our 3PAO accreditation marks a significant milestone, reflecting both our growth and our commitment to the federal cloud ecosystem. Having worked extensively with NIST, ISO, HIPAA, SOC, and other frameworks, I've seen firsthand how independent validation builds trust and enables client success. With Dr. Carter helping to lead the FedRAMP practice, we're well positioned to deliver high-quality assessments that combine rigor with a positive client experience." said Craig Saldanha, Director of Audit Services whose leadership integrates FedRAMP into Insight's broader audit portfolio while keeping client experience at the center of the process.
