CMMC Level 2 Readiness with AWS, Zscaler, and Red River

Zscaler enforces Zero Trust across FedRAMP Moderate and High platforms, consolidating CUI under one secure boundary. As the only SASE vendor to announce CMMC Level 2 certification, Zscaler helps Organizations Seeking Compliance (OSC)s meet flowdown requirements with confidence.

Zscaler CMMC capabilities include:

• Core security controls: DLP, Cloud Firewall, Sandbox, Browser Isolation, Software-Defined Perimeter
• Identity and device enforcement: Device Posture Check, 300+ integrations
• Operational visibility: Logging, analytics, automation, and orchestration
• Bonus: FedRAMP Moderate international expansion

Red River draws on years of hands-on CMMC experience to turn complex deployments into audit-ready compliance programs. Bridging the gap between platform and assessor with clarity and credibility.

Red River CMMC capabilities include:

• Scoping, Zscaler configuration, and integration with IdP, MDM, and SIEM
• Documentation and evidence: SSP, POA&M, Evidence Reference Library (ERL), and runbooks
• Managed workflows for repeatable, audit-ready evidence operations
• Our presence in the CMMC ecosystem as an RPO
• A CMMC Maturity Level 2 certified tools platform hosted in AWS Gov-Cloud

AWS GovCloud (US) simplifies procurement, automates deployment, and centralizes evidence collection. It provides the secure foundation for scalable, audit-ready operations.

AWS Govcloud CMMC enabling capabilities include:

• Marketplace procurement with standardized SKUs and billing
• Automated deployments via CloudFormation and cloud-native telemetry pipelines
• Native log ingestion, scalable analytics, and SIEM integration for centralized evidence and long-term audit traceability

Procurement via AWS GovCloud (US) Marketplace establishes the foundation, shortens procurement cycles, standardizes SKUs and billing, and enables accelerated technical onboarding with automation templates and cloud-native logging that feed assessor evidence workflows.

Implementing Zscaler sets up the architectural plumbing and electrical in greenfield and brownfield environments so that OSCs can identify the CUI and where its flowing, control its flow, while securing the architecture, simultaneously.

Red River converts platform telemetry and configurations into assessor-ready artifacts while Zscaler enforces the controls.
