FedRAMP Releases Updated CSP Authorization Playbook
January 18 | 2022
FedRAMP published an updated Cloud Service Providers (CSP) Authorization Playbook to provide CSPs with a more detailed understanding of the FedRAMP Authorization process now in two volumes.
Volume I helps CSPs understand the FedRAMP Authorization process and develop a strategy for achieving FedRAMP Authorization. Volume I includes:
- How CSPs can get started with FedRAMP
- Introducing the paths to authorization
- FedRAMP designations
- Considerations that CSPs should think about prior to pursuing an authorization
Volume II helps CSPs understand how to develop a high-quality security package for an expeditious and efficient FedRAMP Authorization to cut down rework and delays during the review process. Volume II includes:
- Elements of an authorization package
- Guidance for developing key artifacts
- Tips for delivering a clean, easy-to-review package
While the CSP Authorization Playbook is written to inform Cloud Service Providers approaching the FedRAMP Authorization process, the information is helpful to all FedRAMP stakeholders.
