FedRAMP Compliance FAQ

Q1: What is FedRAMP?
FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) is a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud services used by federal agencies.

Q2: Who needs to be FedRAMP compliant?
Any cloud service provider (CSP) offering solutions to federal agencies must be FedRAMP compliant to ensure their services meet strict security standards.

Q3: What are the FedRAMP baseline levels?
FedRAMP has three security baseline levels based on the sensitivity of data being stored or processed:

• Low Impact: For systems with minimal impact on agency operations.
• Moderate Impact: For systems handling sensitive but non-critical information.
• High Impact: For systems storing or processing highly sensitive data critical to agency operations.

Q4: What is an SSP in FedRAMP?
The System Security Plan (SSP) is the core document in a FedRAMP authorization package. It details the system’s security controls and how they meet FedRAMP requirements.

Q5: What is the difference between FedRAMP Ready and FedRAMP Authorized?

• FedRAMP Ready: The CSP has demonstrated readiness to pursue authorization and is listed in the FedRAMP Marketplace.
• FedRAMP Authorized: The CSP has passed a full security assessment and received authorization to operate (ATO) from a federal agency or the Joint Authorization Board (JAB).

Q6: How long does it take to achieve FedRAMP compliance?
The timeline varies depending on the CSP’s readiness and baseline level. It typically ranges from 6 months to over a year for authorization.

Q7: What role does a 3PAO play in FedRAMP?
A Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) conducts independent assessments of the CSP’s security controls and provides reports required for FedRAMP authorization.

Q8: How much does FedRAMP compliance cost?
Costs vary widely depending on the baseline level, scope of the system, and readiness. They include documentation, assessments, remediation, and ongoing monitoring.

Q9: Do we need to maintain compliance after achieving FedRAMP authorization?
Yes, continuous monitoring and regular reporting are required to maintain compliance and authorization.
