Colby Hocmuth writes the FedRAMP Ready designation will be granted to cloud-based platforms that have already undergone audits by an agency program management office and an accredited independent third-party assessor.
The system also offers potential government cloud users and authorizing personnel a means to initiate an authorization.
“Agencies can use this documentation to initiate an assessment and authorize these systems in a faster time than starting from scratch,” said Matthew Goodrich, GSA’s FedRAMP director, according to the publication.
Hocmuth reports the agency will also offer an open-source codes record for agencies to expedite cloud technology deployment.
