The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a US government-wide program that delivers a standard approach to the security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. The governing bodies of FedRAMP include the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), US General Services Administration (GSA), US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), US Department of Defense (DoD), National Institutes of Standards & Technology (NIST), and the Federal Chief Information Officers (CIO) Council.
Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) who want to offer their Cloud Service Offerings (CSOs) to the US government must demonstrate FedRAMP compliance. FedRAMP uses the NIST Special Publication 800 series and requires cloud service providers to complete an independent security assessment conducted by a third-party assessment organization (3PAO) to ensure that authorizations are compliant with the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA).
Cloudnexa is committed to assisting organizations in achieving FedRAMP compliance and ensuring the security of their cloud environments for hosting federal government data. The journey towards FedRAMP Authorization involves several distinct stages, each requiring careful planning and collaboration
Cloudnexa, a leading cloud service provider, helps organizations achieve FedRAMP Authorized status by guiding them through a rigorous assessment process. With Cloudnexa's expertise, companies can meet the stringent security controls required by FedRAMP and gain approval to host federal government data securely.
Cloudnexa supports companies by conducting gap analysis, assisting with documentation, and providing guidance on security controls. With Cloudnexa's assistance, organizations can address gaps, improve their security posture, and move closer to achieving FedRAMP Authorization.
Cloudnexa prepares organizations for the FedRAMP Ready stage by helping them compile necessary documentation, conduct internal testing, and engage with independent assessors. By partnering with Cloudnexa, companies can showcase their readiness for the official assessment process, positioning themselves for successful FedRAMP Authorization.
In response to the Cloud First Policy (now Cloud Smart Strategy), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued the FedRAMP Policy Memo (now Federal Cloud Computing Strategy) to establish the first government-wide security authorization program for Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA).
FedRAMP is mandatory for all US federal agencies and all cloud services. FedRAMP is important because it increases:
FedRAMP brings consistency and instills confidence by establishing a unified set of security standards for cloud solutions. This ensures that government agencies and organizations can rely on robust security measures across all approved cloud providers, fostering a secure and trustworthy environment for data storage and processing.
FedRAMP promotes transparency by facilitating clear communication and collaboration between the US government and cloud providers. This allows for a shared understanding of security requirements, risk assessments, and compliance standards, leading to enhanced accountability and alignment in safeguarding sensitive data.
FedRAMP streamlines the procurement process for government agencies by providing a pre-vetted list of authorized cloud service providers. This saves valuable time and resources, ensuring that agencies can quickly and confidently select and deploy cloud solutions that meet their specific security needs.
FedRAMP reduces costs and optimizes resources by eliminating the need for individual security assessments for each government agency. By leveraging the FedRAMP authorization, agencies can avoid redundant assessments and focus on utilizing cloud solutions efficiently, maximizing their operational capabilities.
