What are some of the major documentation and program requirements for earning FedRAMP designation?
- Arlington Security Portal - Show on: Side Bar
Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) will need to develop a (1). well-written incident response plan, a (2). contingency planning program, an (3). insider threat program, (4). threat awareness program, along with performing a (5). risk assessment, (6). testing both the incident response plan and the contingency plan - and (5). much more (i.e., NIST SP 800-53 domain specific policies and procedures). Bottom line, a tremendous amount of documentation is needed for earning FedRAMP designation.
Also, there are security requirements that must be met. Specifically, “...a FedRAMP-accredited Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) must perform an announced penetration test as part of the assessment/testing process for Moderate and High systems.”
