Cloud Waypoint brings structure to cloud decisions: what the mission needs, what a shared foundation provides, and what each team must own before the work moves forward.
Cloud Waypoint grew from Department of Defense cloud work. That origin remains central: mission boundaries, evidence, inherited services, accountable owners and the authority to make a decision shape the method.
The approach serves DoD/IC and federal civilian agencies, with requirements tailored to the actual organization and system scope. It is geared to central brokers and teams providing shared foundation services: establishing what can be shared, what each consuming mission still owns, and how the handoffs work.
NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 provides a common control basis for discussing security and privacy. Applicability, control selection, overlays, evidence and approval paths differ across sectors and engagements. A shared control basis does not establish blanket compliance or make FedRAMP and DoD requirements equivalent. The designated agency officials retain their decisions.

Cloud Waypoint was created by Chuck Greene, leader of WWT Federal Cloud Services, drawing on his work in public-sector cloud strategy, shared services and mission-focused modernization.
Cloud Waypoint brings that experience into a practical method: establish the evidence, make the decisions, and equip the client to carry the plan forward.
Two WWT publications offer context for Chuck’s work across public-sector cloud adoption and modernization in isolated environments.
The article connects preparation, governance and ongoing operations to the organizational barriers that slow public-sector cloud adoption. Chuck Greene is a co-contributor alongside Zaid Doleh and Brian Flavin.
This publication discusses planning and operating application modernization, including Google Distributed Cloud in air-gapped enclaves where isolation, staffing and responsibilities shape delivery. Chuck Greene is listed as a contributor.
