FedRAMP

cloudgovernance & risk

Stands for: Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program

The US government's standardized security-authorization program for cloud services - High, Moderate, and Low baselines.

FedRAMP lets a cloud service be assessed once, against NIST SP 800-53 controls, and reused across federal agencies. The baselines scale with data sensitivity; FedRAMP High covers the government's most sensitive unclassified data. Netskope's GovCloud holds FedRAMP High; F5's Distributed Cloud carries FedRAMP authorizations - the credential public-sector buyers look for first.

Also known as: fedramp, fedramp high, fedramp moderate, govcloud
