Rev. 5

  • What are some real-world examples (e.g. DLP or data tagging solutions) of how a CSP can implement CM-12(1)?
  • In the SSP Section 9 - Ports, Protocols, Service, what is the purpose of the Appendix Q reference number?
  • How can CSPs ensure vendors build and test in alignment with NIST 800-171 or equivalent framework as required by SR-6 in the High and Moderate baselines?
  • For SC-7(4), what is defined as control plane traffic?
  • For AT-2, Literary Training and Awareness, does FedRAMP require distinct basic security and privacy literacy training, advanced literacy training, and awareness techniques?
  • For supply chain controls, CSPs can define what systems, components, and services fall under the SCRM (SR-2), but is it the intent of the FedRAMP PMO that this only be focused on the paid-vendor or large components?
  • How do CSPs document deviations from STIGs/CIS Level 2 benchmarks?
  • CA-8(2) requires Red Team exercises. Are 3PAOs required to perform Red Team exercises as part of penetration testing?
  • Will FedRAMP provide a template for SR-2, Supply Chain Risk Management Plan?
  • CA-7 has a new "Additional FedRAMP Requirement" to perform monthly Service Configuration Scans. Does this require all CM-6 benchmark scans to be performed and uploaded monthly?
