Public-sector LMS deployments face stringent security, compliance, and accessibility requirements. This pre-implementation checklist helps agencies validate that critical controls are in place before launch—so your LMS doesn’t become an audit risk.
Designed for government, public safety, and regulated public-sector environments, this checklist provides a clear, step-by-step framework to confirm security posture, documentation, and authorization readiness ahead of final approval.
This checklist helps your team verify readiness across the most common audit and ATO checkpoints, including:
Regulatory scope and compliance alignment (FedRAMP, FISMA, CJIS, Section 508)
Security authorization artifacts (SSP, SAP, SAR) and system boundary validation
FedRAMP or agency Authority to Operate (ATO) status and inheritance
Section 508 accessibility and WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements
Roles, responsibilities, and required security documentation (ISSO, ISSM, POA&M)
Incident response, reporting, and coordination with CSIRC/US-CERT
Encryption, key management, and network perimeter controls
Identity, access management, and automated provisioning
Backup, recovery, audit logging, and SIEM integration
Third-party and supply chain risk assessments
Final penetration testing and vulnerability remediation
Each item is designed to be checked off with supporting evidence—making this checklist a practical audit companion, not just a planning document.
If your LMS must withstand formal audits, security assessments, or regulatory oversight, this checklist helps you get ahead of issues before they become findings.
Security gaps discovered after LMS deployment can delay approval, increase risk exposure, and trigger costly remediation. This checklist helps ensure your LMS implementation is audit-ready from day one, not retrofitted afterward.
