Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a government-wide program that standardizes the security assessment and authorization process for cloud services used by federal agencies. It aims to ensure that cloud products meet strict security requirements, allowing agencies to adopt cloud solutions with confidence.
FedRAMP provides a framework for assessing the security of cloud services, which includes a set of security controls based on the NIST SP 800-53 guidelines. By streamlining the authorization process, FedRAMP helps reduce duplication of effort and accelerates the adoption of secure cloud technologies across the federal government.
