The Alliance for Digital Innovation appreciates OMB and GSA’s industry engagement and participation at our event on FedRAMP to preview the changes to OMB’s memo on FedRAMP modernization. This reauthorization of the FedRAMP program by OMB recognizes the need for the program to keep pace with the evolving nature of the commercial cloud marketplace in order to meet agency requirements. ADI is pleased that OMB highlights the need to dramatically scale the FedRAMP marketplace and increase the speed of implementing cloud services.
The memo delegated several key implementation decisions to GSA and the FedRAMP PMO such as how to recognize current Joint Authorization Board (JAB) authorized Cloud Service Providers, and how to leverage the Open Secure Control Assessment Language (OSCAL) to streamline the authorization and continuous monitoring processes. We welcome the opportunity to continue engaging with GSA to address these and other outstanding issues highlighted in our letter to OMB and GSA earlier this week.
