Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a “government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment authorization” for cloud service provider (CSP) solutions. FedRAMP ensures cloud offerings are secure enough to be used by federal agencies, including agencies handling sensitive information and data. Non-federal organizations are starting to benefit as well, including critical infrastructure and commercial entities. The goal is to improve agencies’ protection of information, streamline and reduce costs of security assessments, and better enable agencies to modernize operations.”]
