Essentials

The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) was developed to provide a standardized approach to assess, authorize, and monitor cloud services and products. With the government’s significant push to adopt cloud solutions, the security of these solutions has become very important. This program was developed with several significant goals in mind, including:

• Increase confidence in the security of cloud solutions
• Achieve consistency in security authorizations using a baseline of standards
• Ensure consistent application of security standards
• Increase automation for near real-time data/monitoring

Benefits

Identifying and establishing the right security controls for your cloud computing services is an important step in ensuring those services meet FedRAMP requirements. Those that are looking to become government authorized cloud computing service providers must be able to understand the security controls and privacy requirements that apply to their services; and the data to be processed before the controls can be implemented. In addition to becoming a requirement within the federal government, this program saves significant costs by allowing organizations to demonstrate compliance once, as well as improving real time security visibility, and improve trustworthiness, reliability, consistency and quality of the Federal Security Authorization process.
