"Achieving this 'In Process' milestone is a crucial step in our efforts to deliver the highest standards of cybersecurity readiness and compliance," said Marling Engle, CEO of WillCo Tech. "The IL5 ATO indicates that our security controls have been reviewed by both an approved Third Party Assessor (3PAO) and a DoD agency, showing our readiness for final review with FedRAMP PMO. Our CyberSTAR platform meets FedRAMP's rigorous requirements, ensuring our government partners can prepare their personnel effectively."
