At Beryllium InfoSec, we proudly announce that our Cuick Trac Managed Enclave has successfully achieved FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency. This significant milestone further strengthens our commitment to delivering secure, scalable, and compliant solutions for organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), particularly those working within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and critical infrastructure sectors.
The FedRAMP Moderate baseline represents a rigorous standard for cloud service providers (CSPs) that process, store, or transmit unclassified federal government information. The FedRAMP Program ensures cloud computing products and services meet federal security requirements, essential for contractors who must comply with DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement) 252.204-7012 (DFARS 7012) requirements and achieve CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) Level 2 or Level 3 maturity.
Cuick Trac’s Journey to FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency
Achieving FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency didn’t happen overnight. As a company committed to providing practical solutions for the Defense Industrial Base and critical infrastructure, we dedicated substantial time and resources to ensuring that Cuick Trac’s platform not only met but exceeded the stringent security standards required by the federal government. Our focus was clear: to empower our partners and customers—whether large or small—by enabling them to inherit a significant portion of our security and compliance investments, greatly reducing their burden in achieving DFARS 7012 and CMMC compliance.
Derek White, Chief Operating Officer, reflects on the journey:
“ Cuick Trac’s journey to FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency took significant internal time and resources so our clients don’t have to. While our clients don’t need to meet FedRAMP, they must comply with DFARS, NIST, and CMMC requirements. We’ve ensured that Cuick Trac’s platform meets these stringent standards, reducing the compliance burden for our clients.”
The Significance of FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency for Our Clients
For organizations navigating the complexities of federal security requirements like CMMC and DFARS, FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency offers clear, validated assurance. Cuick Trac rises above the noise, positioning itself as the trusted managed cloud service platform, backed by independent third-party assessments.
Derek White further explains the value:
“The CMMC ecosystem is full of noise and confusion regarding what providers can back up their claims. By achieving FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency, members of the DIB can gain significant confidence when choosing Cuick Trac.”
What This Means for the Future of Cuick Trac
Looking ahead, we anticipate continued growth as more FedCon organizations seek scalable, easy-to-deploy, affordable, and secure solutions. Cuick Trac is poised to remain at the forefront of cybersecurity compliance, evolving with the ever-increasing demands of federal standards.
Derek White shares his thoughts on the future:
“There are a lot of organizations seeking certification and assessments (OSC/OSA) who need easy-to-deploy, affordable, and secure solutions across all of FedCon. Cuick Trac will continue to evolve as the standard for cybersecurity requirements continue to increase.”
Empowering Our Clients with Confidence
Achieving FedRAMP Moderate is not just a milestone for us—it’s a powerful tool to empower our clients. With this certification, our customers now have access to a secure, compliant platform that meets the federal standards for data protection, enabling them to operate with reduced risk and greater confidence. This is particularly critical for contractors in the Defense Industrial Base who need a platform that helps them meet the rigorous standards outlined in DFARS 252.204-7012 and NIST SP 800-171.
George Perezdiaz, Director of Advisory Services, elaborates on the significance:
“Achieving FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency empowers Beryllium InfoSec to deliver consulting services grounded in proven and tested processes that align with the highest federal security standards. Our clients can rest assured that they use a secure, compliant platform that sets them up for long-term success.”
What Makes FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency So Important
Obtaining FedRAMP moderate equivalency is crucial for cloud service providers, especially those who host environments for CUI. DFARS 252.204-7012 requires cloud service providers handling CUI to meet FedRAMP standards through full authorization or equivalency. Our FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency attestation guarantees that Cuick Trac complies with these stringent security requirements, positioning us as a trusted partner for organizations seeking to protect their sensitive data.
Jeff Baldwin, Chief Information Security Officer, explains the importance:
“DFARS 252.204-7012 requires Cloud Service Providers that host an environment for cloud consumers that includes CUI to be FedRAMP Authorized or FedRAMP Moderate Equivalent (FRME). Achieving this 3rd party attestation from a 3rd Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) positions us and our Cuick Trac solution as a trusted partner and solution for organizations seeking assessment and organizations seeking certification for CMMC Level 2 while continuing to leverage a purpose-built, quick-to-deploy low cost and fully managed virtual CUI environment.”
Strategic Leadership and Market Differentiation
Eric Power, Chief Growth Officer, emphasizes the strategic importance of this achievement: “Achieving FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency is a major milestone for Cuick Trac. With the plan to meet this milestone being established a little over a year ago, our goal was to put our clients in a position to succeed during the certification process while also making it less burdensome. Since the beginning of this journey, we have stayed committed to our vision of being a provider holding a vested interest in the outcome of our client’s CMMC journey.”
This commitment to client success sets Cuick Trac apart in the marketplace. As Power notes: “Meeting FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency puts us in a category few CMMC providers can match. Our clients can’t be guessing whether or not their provider is doing what they say they are doing, not with so much at stake. As a leader in the industry, we hope our success is an example to other providers who have clients counting on them to do their part to protect CUI, provide the proof needed to validate claims and be there when certifications begin.”
