FedRAMP standardizes security assessments for cloud services in government. It includes the Joint Authorization Board (JAB) and Program Management Office (PMO), ensuring secure technological adoption. The PMO supports the authorization process and maintains necessary repositories. For further details, visit the FedRAMP website or email inquiries to their designated contacts.
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) provides a structured approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud-based products and services. Its aim is to allow government agencies to adopt modern cloud technologies while ensuring the security of federal information and promoting the use of secure cloud solutions.
FedRAMP is governed by two primary entities: the Joint Authorization Board (JAB) and the Program Management Office (PMO). The JAB consists of chief information officers (CIOs) from key federal departments including Defense, Homeland Security, and General Services Administration, playing a critical role in governance and decision-making.
The PMO operates under the General Services Administration (GSA) and aids agencies and cloud service providers throughout the FedRAMP authorization process. Additionally, it maintains a secure repository of authorizations to facilitate the reuse of security packages across government agencies.
