FISMA/FEDRAMP Cloud service providers (CSPs) who are seeking to obtain a FedRAMP Authority to Operate (ATO) face a technically rigorous and higher scrutiny assessment process than most organizations are used to experiencing – even more so than the one to meet FISMA requirements. FedRAMP is often referred to as a “high-bar” for security in the cloud.
