Where you stand
What you have and what depends on what, read from your evidence and confirmed with the people who run it today, so the plan starts from the estate you actually have.
Six weeks, fixed fee. Eight if your data call comes back late.
Cloud Waypoint · one method, two editions, six weeks
Told to move to the cloud? Leave in six weeks with a plan your mission has signed and a team that can run it.
The landing zone is a starting point, not a plan. Cloud Waypoint spends six weeks with your people, on your evidence, building the picture the provider cannot: what you have, what it depends on, the boundary you will be authorized in, who runs it on day two, and the order the work has to happen in.
Time
Output
Fifteen deliverables in one record you keep.
Authority
Named people decide. Your Authorizing Official keeps every authorization decision.
How Cloud Waypoint helps
Someone told your mission to move. The provider gives you a landing zone. It does not give you your own picture.
A data-center closure, an enterprise mandate, a JWCC task order. Whatever the reason, the questions are the same, and we answer them with your people in six weeks.
What you will be authorized in
The boundary drawn, categorized, and inheritance mapped: what the provider or the enterprise covers, what stays yours, and the evidence each claim rests on.
Who runs it on day two
The team, the handoffs, and the order the work has to happen in, named before the first workload moves, so the move does not leave an operating gap.
We bring the sequence, the precedent, and the gates as they actually come. Your people do the building, because they are the ones still doing it in year four.
Two editions, one method
The same six weeks, read against the standards your mission answers to.
NatSec
natsec.cloud-waypoint.comReads against the DoD Cloud Computing Security Requirements Guide at IL5 and IL6. Enclave and offline: one file that never phones home. Closeout leaves your documents and an erasure receipt.
Navy and gold
PubSec
pubsec.cloud-waypoint.comReads against FedRAMP High and FISMA High on NIST SP 800-53. Non-CUI by default. Same six weeks, same fifteen deliverables, lighter handling.
