FedRAMP

FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) is a U.S. government program that provides a standardized approach for security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring of cloud products and services.

FedRAMP authorization uses baselines aligned to NIST SP 800-53 controls. Authorization levels (Low, Moderate, High) correspond to the sensitivity of data and impact levels the service can support.

Why It Matters

FedRAMP is an important reference model for cloud security assurance and continuous monitoring. Organizations using cloud services for sensitive workloads can use FedRAMP status and control alignment as part of vendor risk evaluation.
