Today Kenny and Mike are talking to the one and only Jason Ford, CEO & Founder of Steel Patriot Partners—a true FedRAMP guru who's been securing systems since digital transformation was still a baby. Jason shares his battle-tested strategies for navigating security audits, implementing encryption the right way, and avoiding common pitfalls that can delay your compliance efforts for months.
Here's what we're tackling in this episode:
- "If You Can't Draw It, You Can't Secure It" – Why mapping your architecture is step one in cybersecurity.
- FedRAMP High vs. Moderate – Why enterprises (not just government) are demanding higher security standards.
- Encryption 101 – What's really required, and why some ciphers belong in the dumpster.
- Privileged Access Done Right – No more random one-off permissions for Jeff! Use roles, not regrets.
- The Future of Security Compliance – Automation, AI, and why FedRAMP is about to change everything.
If you're serious about building a security-first organization, tackling FedRAMP without losing your mind, or just figuring out how to keep your systems locked down like a fortress, this episode is for you.
