FedRAMP Compliant Cloud Software & Custom ERP Engineering

Federal Cloud Security: FedRAMP Compliance Architecture

Executive Summary

This document analyzes the engineering, security, and authorization controls of FedRAMP-compliant custom ERP systems developed by ERPStack. Federal agencies require public sector clouds to enforce strict security standards under the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA). ERPStack designs B2B public sector systems with boundary protection, multi-factor authentication, and continuous monitoring controls, enabling agencies to achieve operational authorization (ATO) rapidly.

Technical Safeguards: FedRAMP System Boundaries

FedRAMP requirements mandate clear authorization boundaries to isolate federal data:

1. System Boundary Protection: We deploy federal systems in dedicated AWS GovCloud or Azure Government regions. The cloud boundary is secured with Next.js edge filters, Web Application Firewalls (WAF), and intrusion detection systems that monitor traffic patterns.

2. Access Control & FIPS 140-3 Encryption: User access is governed by strict Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies. We enforce FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic modules for all data at rest and in transit (TLS 1.3). Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is mandatory for all administrative access.

3. Continuous Monitoring & Audit Trails: We configure automated vulnerability scanners (SAST/DAST) in the build pipeline. System logs are captured in real-time, hashed, and mirrored to secure, write-once read-many (WORM) storage.

Database Schema for Audit Auditing

import { pgTable, serial, text, timestamp, varchar } from 'drizzle-orm/pg-core';

export const fedrampAuditLog = pgTable('fedramp_audit_log', {
  id: serial('id').primaryKey(),
  actorId: varchar('actor_id', { length: 256 }).notNull(),
  actionType: varchar('action_type', { length: 64 }).notNull(), // 'ACCESS', 'MODIFY', 'DELETE'
  targetResource: varchar('target_resource', { length: 256 }).notNull(),
  beforeState: text('before_state'),
  afterState: text('after_state'),
  clientIp: varchar('client_ip', { length: 45 }).notNull(),
  timestamp: timestamp('timestamp', { mode: 'date' }).defaultNow().notNull(),
});

All database logs are write-only, and any modifications to sensitive configuration tables trigger automated security alerts to the system compliance team.
