What It Is

FedRAMP establishes one standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services used by U.S. federal agencies, instead of each agency running its own separate review. It applies NIST SP 800-53 controls at a Low, Moderate, or High impact baseline depending on the sensitivity of the data involved.

Authorization is granted through an agency sponsor (Agency Authorization) or the Joint Authorization Board (JAB Authorization), and once authorized, a cloud service appears on the FedRAMP Marketplace, letting other agencies reuse that authorization rather than starting from scratch.

Who It Applies To

Cloud service providers (CSPs) selling SaaS, PaaS, or IaaS to federal agencies, and technology vendors building on top of cloud infrastructure that need to inherit or demonstrate alignment with FedRAMP controls to win or keep federal business.
