FedRAMP – What it is, what’s the purpose
Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program
► FedRAMP is a program that supports the U.S.
government’s objective:
► Enable U.S. federal agencies to use managed service providers
that enable cloud computing capabilities.
► The program is designed to comply with the Federal
Information Security Management Act (FISMA).
► It build’s on applicable US Laws and Regulations
► It build’s on US Standards and Guidance
► More info: www.fedramp.gov

FedRAMP Process – CSP perspective
► FedRAMP provides a
“streamlined avenue” for US
federal agencies to make use of
cloud service providers (CSPs)
► The ”independent” assessment
is paid for by the CSP.
► The CSP selects the 3rd party
assessment organization
(3PAO) from a list of accredited
3PAOs.
► FedRAMP provides all actors
with checklists, templates,
guidance, and requirements.

CSP and authorization model
► Cloud Service Provider
► IaaS – Infrastructure as a Service
► E.g. Amazon Web Services
► PaaS – Platform as a service
► E.g. MySQL
► SaaS – Software as a Service
► MeetingSphere
► Authorization model 3PAO and JAB
► 3PAO

FedRAMP – Document hierarchy
Policy Memo, released by
OMB - provides the direction
and high-level framework for
standing up the governmentwide cloud security program.
Baseline Security Controls document is based on the NIST
800-53 Security Control guidelines and includes additional
control enhancements to address cloud system specific
vulnerabilities.
Key Processes
are the three main
functions that
FedRAMP
performs during
operations.
CONOPS, Concept of Operations, provides an overview of
FedRAMP, the Operating Model and Key Processes.
Operating Model for FedRAMP is based on the
Policy Memo - identifies the key organizations
responsibilities for implementing the program and
a high-level description of the operational roles
and responsibilities.
Detailed Templates and Guidelines
are documents that provide templates
for forms and information required by
CSPs or 3PAOs through the
FedRAMP process phases and
detailed instructions for each of the
process areas.

FedRAMP - Reality check
► It makes life for agencies much easier
► Few BIG 3PAO
► Very few certifications by smaller 3PAO
► Huge incentive to “leverage” authorizations of
big players (Amazon)
► Compliance as small SaaS
► Possible at technical level leveraging AWS
► Valuable lessons for professionalization
► Hardly doable at the process level (guidelines
made for large hierarchical businesses)
► Only US businesses and personnel certifiable
► This is very much a process to drive
business towards the big US players
