StratoKey's Cloud Data Protection Platform is deployed inside your FedRAMP environment, it acts as a gateway tokenizing sensitive fields before they reach SaaS platforms. Regulated data stays in your authorized storage, while external systems receive only surrogate values. De-tokenization occurs solely within your FedRAMP authorized boundary, under your keys and access controls.
SOLUTIONS
Store Regulated Data Destined for SaaS in Your FedRAMP Environment
FedRAMP-authorized environments provide the required controls for storing CMMC-regulated data. The issue is that many SaaS platforms are not FedRAMP-authorized, creating a compliance gap when regulated information needs to flow into those systems. StratoKey solves this by enabling you to keep regulated data inside your FedRAMP environment and send on tokenized values to SaaS.

StratoKey provides data protection products that help organizations satisfy specific NIST SP 800-171 controls and store regulated data on-premises or in their FedRAMP-authorized environment. It is not a C3PAO and does not provide CMMC compliance advice. For advice, assessment and certification, consult an accredited C3PAO via the Cyber AB Marketplace.
How Tokenization Works to Secure Your Data in a FedRAMP Environment
- 1Deploy the StratoKey CDP Gateway within your authorized environment for full key and cryptographic control.
- 2Keep all regulated data stored inside your FedRAMP-authorized environment.
- 3Send only tokenized surrogates to SaaS platforms; no plaintext leaves your boundary.
- 4Maintain strict compliance by ensuring SaaS and external services never handle regulated data in raw form.
Regulatory Alignment: ITAR, CMMC, DFARS and FedRAMP
ITAR, CMMC and DFARS each define different requirements for handling regulated data, with FedRAMP serving as the authoritative cloud baseline for CUI under CMMC and DFARS.
| Regulation | FedRAMP Requirement | Relationship to FedRAMP | How StratoKey Helps |
|---|---|---|---|
| ITAR | No direct mention, but alignment. | ITAR requires U.S.-person access, controlled storage, and prevention of foreign access. FedRAMP High aligns with these principles but is not mandated. | Keeps ITAR-controlled data inside secure, customer-governed environments, using tokenization and encryption aligned with ITAR’s encryption carve-out. |
| CMMC (via DFARS 252.204-7012) | FedRAMP Moderate required for any CSP storing CUI. | CMMC inherits DFARS 7012. Any cloud service handling CUI must meet the FedRAMP Moderate baseline. | Prevents CUI from entering non-FedRAMP SaaS by replacing sensitive fields with tokens, keeping all regulated data inside your authorized boundary. |
| DFARS 252.204-7012 | Mandatory FedRAMP Moderate baseline for CSPs storing CUI. | Explicitly requires CSPs to implement all FedRAMP Moderate security controls when storing or processing CUI. | Enables SaaS adoption without violating DFARS by ensuring only tokenized values leave the FedRAMP environment. |
Frequently Asked Questions About the Stratokey FedRAMP Solution
Does StratoKey provide a FedRAMP-authorized environment?
No. You use your own FedRAMP-authorized cloud environment (e.g., AWS GovCloud, Azure Government). StratoKey’s CDP Gateway is deployed inside your boundary so regulated data remain fully under your control.
How does StratoKey keep regulated data inside a FedRAMP environment?
StratoKey intercepts and tokenizes or encrypts sensitive fields before they leave your environment, ensuring SaaS platforms receive only surrogate values while regulated data remains stored in your FedRAMP-authorized environment. Decryption and de-tokenization occur inside your boundary, under your access policies and encryption keys, so non-compliant platforms have no access to the original plain-text data.
Does the StratoKey solution meet DFARS/CMMC expectations for cloud storage of CUI?
Yes. DFARS 252.204-7012 requires CSPs handling CUI to meet the FedRAMP Moderate baseline. StratoKey ensures that CUI never enters non-FedRAMP SaaS, keeping all regulated data inside your authorized environment while still enabling SaaS use.
Can SaaS platforms still function if they only receive tokens?
Yes. StratoKey preserves formats and data structures, allowing SaaS platforms to operate normally while never receiving regulated data. Data de-tokenization happens strictly inside your FedRAMP boundary.
Secure SaaS Use Without Leaving Your FedRAMP Boundary
Modern SaaS adoption shouldn’t conflict with federal compliance. StratoKey enables you to keep regulated data inside your FedRAMP-authorized environment while external platforms operate on tokenized or encrypted surrogates.
