Success Story:
FedRAMP Authorization Achievement
“I worked with Lori Crooks to build our System Security Plan for FedRAMP at Alation over the course of about 8 weeks. Not only was she extremely pleasant to work with and showed up to every call with positive energy– but she proved to be a deep expert in translating NIST control language into plain English so that our team could scope our follow-up tasks to close gaps. Lori’s efficiency and expertise made a very heavy lift into a pleasure, and I would gladly work with her again.”
-Elaine Atkinson, Head of Security at Alation
