Federal Application Authorization Services (FAAS)
A Fast, Cost-Effective Route to FedRAMP SaaS Authorization
A Requirement for Government SaaS Sales
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 products and services. FedRAMP applies a rigorous review process to certify that cloud services meet a strict baseline of security standards. Compliance with FedRAMP is mandatory for federal agencies and supported by many state and local governments.
For Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and solution providers selling commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) and custom applications, FedRAMP authorization is quickly becoming a requirement to compete and win in an enormous IT market that is increasingly purchasing IT as a service.
