FedRAMP Accelerated: An Update with GSA & cloud.gov (119679)

Опубликовано 21 июня 2017, 22:25

A year ago, FedRAMP introduced a redesigned authorization process called FedRAMP Accelerated. This new authorization process was developed to shorten the authorization timeframe to less than six months and increase the delivery of more federal cloud solution workloads. As soon as FedRAMP Accelerated launched, the US General Services Administration (GSA) used this new redesign to advance cloud.gov, which runs on AWS GovCloud (US). It is now the first fully open source FedRAMP solution that has achieved a Provisional Authority to Operate (P-ATO) at the moderate impact level from the FedRAMP Joint Authorization Board (JAB).

With cloud.gov, government agencies can: (1) Quickly deploy applications that comply with federal policies — without needing to manage infrastructure. (2) Run scalable cloud-native applications. (3) Try experiments: build and test prototypes without adding extra expense. (4) Shorten the path to ATO (Authority to Operate) for applications hosted on cloud.gov. Applications inherit the compliance of the cloud.gov P-ATO, so only the applications need to be comprehensively assessed to receive ATO.
