Understanding FedRAMP

The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program FedRAMP is a U.S. government program that standardizes security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services used by federal agencies. It establishes baselines drawn from NIST 800-53 controls at Low, Moderate, and High impact levels, and grants authorizations through either an agency sponsor or the Joint Authorization Board. Cloud service providers must work with an accredited Third Party Assessment Organization to validate compliance.
