David Thornton writes the program looks to streamline the time it will take a cloud service provider to secure a FedRAMP provisional authorization and a recent modification on the process focuses on “high-impact” systems.
âWe have seen an 85 percent increase in FedRAMP authorization for new cloud services,â said Ashley Mahan, FedRAMP agency evangelist.
The report noted FedRAMP has issued a standards baseline for high impact systems in July with the addition of “stricter” controls designed to meet Defense Department needs.
âThere werenât major changes in terms of capabilities [as compared to the draft high baseline], but there were a few control additions and tighter implementations that are present in the final baseline that were not in the original baseline requirements,â said Matt Goodrich, FedRAMP director.
