What is FedRAMP's value to the federal government?

FedRAMP eliminates duplicative efforts by providing a common security framework. Agencies review their security requirements against a standardized baseline. A cloud service provider (CSP) goes through the authorization process once, and after achieving an authorization for their cloud service offering (CSO), the security package can be reused by any federal agency.

FedRAMP enables the federal government to accelerate the adoption of cloud computing by creating transparent standards and processes for security authorizations and allowing agencies to leverage security authorizations on a government-wide scale.
