About this Framework
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) provides a standardised approach to security assessment, authorisation and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services used by U.S. federal agencies. Based on NIST SP 800-53 controls, FedRAMP authorisations (ATO) are reusable across agencies — a single assessment serves all 400+ federal agencies. Cloud providers must achieve FedRAMP authorisation before selling cloud services to the U.S. federal government.
