As businesses continue to move their infrastructure to the cloud, FedRAMP has become the standard compliance program by which companies measure the security of their cloud provider. FedRAMP, the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, is a derivative of FISMA, and based on a slimmed-down version of the NIST 800-53 (rev3) controls. FedRAMP is becoming the growing standard among large enterprise moving to the cloud because of the stringent security control requirement and ongoing Continuous Monitoring required to maintain accreditation on a monthly basis.
