Frequently Asked Questions About FedRAMP
What is FedRAMP?
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud services. It provides a framework for Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) to ensure and prove services meet federal security requirements.
Should my company pursue FedRAMP?
Deciding whether to pursue FedRAMP is far more nuanced than deciding to get a SOC 2 attestation or to become GDPR-compliant. Achieving FedRAMP compliance and authorization to operate (ATO) requires a significant amount of time; typically 1-3 years from starting the process to obtaining an ATO. It also has a high cost, often a million dollars or more.
A strong indication that the FedRAMP path may be right for your organization is if one of your current customers or prospects is a federal government agency, and mandates a FedRAMP ATO; even better if they are willing to officially sponsor your company through the FedRAMP authorization process.
If you’d like to learn more about the process of achieving FedRAMP compliance, check out our blog post that gives a comprehensive guide to FedRAMP.
How can Drata manage FedRAMP evidence?
Our compliance with NIST SP 800-171 enables you to use Drata to store evidence that contains indirect impact data related to the federal government or government agencies.
Direct impact data or metadata related to the federal government or government agencies must be stored in FedRAMP-authorized systems. However, a URL to where such evidence resides externally can be maintained alongside all other evidence in Drata’s evidence library.
Is there an audit for FedRAMP?
Yes, FedRAMP requires annual assessments performed by accredited Third-Party Assessment Organizations (3PAOs). These organizations are assessed and authorized by the federal government to perform security assessments of cloud products and services.
How do I keep my FedRAMP compliance data separate from my other frameworks?
Not everyone has this requirement, but if you do, you can set up a separate Drata workspace or use our Multi-Instance Management to separate your FedRAMP data from other frameworks.
