Engagement Purpose
This guide is intended for platform, security, and compliance teams evaluating a FIPS 140-3 migration. The engagement focuses on gap analysis, integration guidance for validated cryptographic modules, evidence development, and validation support so customers can move with a clear sequence rather than an open-ended compliance effort.
What Varydn Delivers
- Migration plan and gap analysis against FIPS 140-3 requirements
- Guidance for integrating validated cryptographic modules
- Evidence pack and implementation documentation
- Validation support sessions during handoff
Who This Is For
Organizations with regulated software delivery, audit pressure, or customer security requirements that need a defined migration path rather than exploratory consulting with unclear deliverables.
Recommended Delivery Phases
Discovery and gap analysis to identify affected components, control gaps, and migration risks.
Integration and implementation support for validated modules, code changes, and configuration updates.
Validation support, evidence preparation, and handoff documentation for auditors and stakeholders.
Typical Timeline
- Week 0: scoping, kickoff, repository and architecture review
- Week 1-2: gap analysis and migration plan
- Week 3-8: implementation support and integration work
- Week 9-12: validation support, evidence preparation, and handoff
Customer Inputs
- Access to relevant codebases and build workflows
- Current cryptographic implementation inventory
- Security and compliance contacts for review cycles
- Target environment and deployment constraints
Success Criteria
- Clear migration plan with prioritized actions
- Validated implementation path for required crypto controls
- Evidence pack suitable for stakeholder or auditor review
- Defined handoff and next-step ownership
