# Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP)

FedRAMP, short for the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, is a U.S. government program established to standardize the security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring processes for cloud products and services. Its primary goal is to ensure that cloud solutions used by federal agencies meet consistent and stringent security standards.

Based on **NIST Special Publication 800-53**, it defines security controls and families.

Controls address aspects like Access Control, Communications Protection, and Security Assessment.

### FedRAMP Marketplace

The FedRAMP Marketplace is an online repository that provides a comprehensive list of cloud products and services that have received authorization through the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). It serves as a valuable resource for federal agencies and organizations seeking FedRAMP-compliant cloud solutions.

Examples of FedRAMP Authorized Cloud Services:

* **Amazon Web Services (AWS)**
* **Microsoft Azure**
* **Google Cloud Platform (GCP)**
* **Salesforce Government Cloud**
* **ServiceNow**
* **Adobe Document Cloud for Government**
* **Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://notes.mikaelsamvelian.com/security/compliance-standards-and-policies/federal-risk-and-authorization-management-program-fedramp.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
