You need to know whether the potential ROI is worth it before you jump in. But finding out what it will take can be difficult, and expensive.
Below we'll outline how PopeTech was able to assess what they needed to do to achieve StateRAMP authorization.
PopeTech, a fast-growing software company, was looking to get StateRAMP authorized.
This CSP wanted to demonstrate their security for clients and have the potential to secure state government contracts.
