When managing construction projects for the federal government, compliance isn’t optional, it’s foundational. With cybersecurity threats growing more sophisticated and regulatory scrutiny tightening across all sectors, especially in federal procurement, agencies and contractors alike are being held to higher standards of data protection. For cloud-based solutions used in these environments, one acronym has come to represent both a benchmark and a barrier to entry: FedRAMP.
FedRAMP, the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, is the government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. Any SaaS platform that intends to host or process federal data must be FedRAMP authorized, and increasingly, this extends to solutions used not only by federal agencies themselves but also by their contractors, particularly those doing work for the Department of Defense (DoD).
ProjectTeam.com is proud to be a FedRAMP Authorized solution. Our platform was designed from the ground up for construction project management, but with the rigorous security and operational controls required for public sector work. Our inclusion on the official FedRAMP Marketplace means that agencies can quickly verify our authorization and see the details of our security posture, including the agency sponsor and level of impact.
For contractors and subcontractors working on federal projects, especially those anticipating CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) compliance, leveraging FedRAMP-authorized solutions like ProjectTeam.com is more than helpful; it’s a smart strategic move. Because FedRAMP aligns with many of the NIST 800-171 controls at the heart of CMMC, choosing software that’s already passed through the rigorous FedRAMP authorization process significantly reduces the compliance burden. This is particularly relevant for prime contractors working with DoD, where handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is a given and demonstrating control over that data is now a contractual obligation.
What makes ProjectTeam.com stand out even further is how we address one of the most common and overlooked security risks in construction workflows: the movement of data across systems and platforms. In many environments, stakeholders are forced to download sensitive project documents (drawings, RFIs, submittals, contracts) from a secure platform and re-upload them into a secondary tool that is not authorized or even monitored. This not only breaks the security boundary established by FedRAMP but also introduces the risk of data loss, duplication, and miscommunication.
ProjectTeam.com solves this through a connected collaboration model. Instead of requiring stakeholders to log into a central system owned by one party, each organization maintains its own secure account that shares only what is needed with project partners. This keeps sensitive data within the FedRAMP boundary at all times, while still enabling cross-organization collaboration, something no other construction project management platform offers today.
Key benefits of ProjectTeam.com’s FedRAMP-authorized connected model:
Shared project data across stakeholder accounts without transferring ownership or requiring risky downloads
Full audit trails and permission-based access controls for all shared records, including comments, attachments, and history logs
Support for real-time workflows that preserve data integrity and reduce the need for duplicate entry across systems
Improved compliance posture for contractors working toward or maintaining CMMC certification
Future-proof infrastructure, with quarterly security reviews and continuous monitoring aligned with federal guidelines
As more federal agencies modernize their project delivery practices, the expectation is that security and usability go hand in hand. ProjectTeam.com is not only a purpose-built platform for managing capital construction programs, it is also a platform that gives federal teams and their contractors confidence that they are meeting the highest standards of cybersecurity compliance.
For anyone evaluating software for use on federal projects, the FedRAMP Marketplace is the place to start. There, you’ll find which tools are authorized, at what impact level, and with which sponsoring agencies. You’ll also find ProjectTeam.com listed proudly among them, a clear signal of our commitment to secure, collaborative, and future-ready construction project management.
Choosing the right software for federal work means balancing functionality with compliance. With ProjectTeam.com, you don’t have to compromise.
