Federal agencies rely on cloud-based tools and services to carry out everything from day-to-day operations to critical national security missions. But before they can adopt a new technology, they need assurance that it meets strict cybersecurity standards.
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is designed to provide that assurance. It sets a standardized approach to security assessments, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud service providers (CSPs) working with the U.S. government.
Earning a FedRAMP Authorization to Operate (ATO) can open the door to long-term contracts, new revenue streams, and broader adoption of your cloud product across the public sector. But it also requires significant preparation, documentation, and coordination with government stakeholders.
Whether you’re just beginning to explore FedRAMP or preparing for an assessment, we’ve created a series of resources to help you navigate the process. You’ll find clear explanations of the different FedRAMP authorization levels, and requirements, plus detailed guidance on the new FedRAMP 20x program and how it’s changing the path to authorization.
