FIPS 140-3 Migration
Implementation Guide

Plan and execute the migration from FIPS 140-2-era implementations to a FIPS 140-3-aligned delivery model with scoped deliverables, phased execution, and validation support.

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

Phase 1

Discovery and gap analysis to identify affected components, control gaps, and migration risks.

$7,000
Phase 2

Integration and implementation support for validated modules, code changes, and configuration updates.

$28,000
Phase 3

Validation support, evidence preparation, and handoff documentation for auditors and stakeholders.

$10,000

Typical Timeline

  1. Week 0: scoping, kickoff, repository and architecture review
  2. Week 1-2: gap analysis and migration plan
  3. Week 3-8: implementation support and integration work
  4. 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
