§ Authorization Intelligence

Your government deal is blocked by compliance. So is the revenue.

The bottleneck isn’t your security posture, it’s evidence translation. SentrIQ converts what your cloud already proves into the assessor-ready package that clears authorization.

§ Who this is for

If federal compliance just landed on your desk, start here.

01

You’re a founder trying to close a federal deal

The buyer wants proof. You don’t have months to build the package by hand. SentrIQ converts your cloud and policies into the documentation that keeps the deal moving.

02

You’re a contractor staring down CMMC

Certification work breaks down when every control turns into a paper chase. SentrIQ maps your evidence, surfaces the gaps, and gives your team a cleaner path through.

03

You're past your ATO and chasing drift

Good documentation goes stale the minute the environment drifts. SentrIQ keeps evidence, narratives, and matrices tied to the system you’re running today.

§ Start lighter

Three ways to dig in.

Three entry points. None of them require a call first. The checklist takes ten minutes and gets the basics on paper. The readiness assessment runs against your environment and shows where you stand. Pricing is a flat plan, on the page, no quote required.

Work email only. We use it to deliver the PDF and follow up if you want help.

§ Readiness Engine

Start with the cloud. End with a package you can defend.

Most teams do this with screenshots, spreadsheets, and outside help. SentrIQ turns what is already in your environment into documentation your team can use.

See what’s covered. See what isn’t.

SentrIQ reads Terraform, AWS configs, policies, and source files, then maps them to the controls you care about. You can see what is supported, what is thin, and what still needs proof.

Thin controls are what assessors flag. Catching them early saves months of rework.

Documentation that doesn’t go stale.

Cloud changes break your documentation the moment they happen. SentrIQ keeps narratives and evidence aligned with the environment your team is running today.

Drift creates POA&Ms. Each one extends ConMon and pushes ATO further out.

Hand over the package. Defend the package.

Generate control narratives, traceability matrices, and evidence packages without starting from a blank page. Your team spends less time rewriting and more time fixing the real gaps.

§ Why it takes so long

Cut the dependency.

Authorization is a procurement event with three real costs. Consultants run $120K–$300K. And there’s the line nobody quotes: the engineering quarters lost when your senior team is rewriting policy documents instead of shipping product.

The hard part isn’t your security posture. Most modern SaaS clouds are already substantially compliant by configuration. The hard part is translating what’s running into the form an assessor will accept. The standard play uses a GRC tool plus a consultant; SentrIQ closes that gap directly so the consultant becomes a choice, not a requirement.

The usual path§ With SentrIQ

GRC tool for continuous monitoring; consultant for FedRAMP-specific work

Cloud configs, infrastructure code, and policy documents as source of truth

Static checklist questionnaire

Continuous mapping against the live environment

3PAO assesses documentation that may not hold

Outputs traced to inspectable source

12–24 months, mostly evidence and rewriting

Months of evidence work compressed

§ Next step

Waiting makes the catch-up work worse.

Every month in preparation is a month of federal revenue blocked.
