Typical timeline: 4-9 months, depending on scope, maturity and team availability. We'll give you a firm plan after a two-week scoping and gap assessment.

Yes, that's our specialty. StateRAMP / GovRAMP shares substantial control overlap with FedRAMP and NIST 800-53, so we build one control set and map evidence across all of them.
