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 should a CSP prepare for privacy control requirements when preparing for an Authorization under Rev. 5? Will there be an updated Privacy Threshold Analysis/Privacy Impact Assessment (PTA/PIA) template released by FedRAMP to address Privacy controls?
-
How do CSPs document deviations from STIGs/CIS Level 2 benchmarks?
-
Is there (or will there be) a running list or spreadsheet of the cloud service offerings that have implemented Rev. 5?

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?
-
Is the CSP permitted to create their own format for the delta/gap analysis between their current Rev. 4 implementation and the Rev. 5 requirements?
-
What must CSPs use for documenting the gap between their Rev. 4 implementations and the Rev. 5 requirements?
-
Documenting a CSP’s Rev. 4 vs Rev. 5 delta as plan of action and milestones (POA&Ms) may cause a large spike in a CSPs POA&M count if they carry those POA&Ms from September 1st 2023 until the CSP’s next annual assessment.
-
When transitioning to Rev. 5 as part of an annual assessment, how should the assessment scope be defined?
-
Is the expectation that cloud service providers will carry plan of action and milestones items for Rev. 5 controls until their transition assessment?
-
Is it required that each individual Rev. 5 control be tracked as a unique plan of action and milestone (POA&M), or is a high level transition finding acceptable?
-
Will Rev. 5 tranition plan be solely documented in the plan of action and milestones (POA&M) and system security plan (SSP), or is there an expectation of a work breakdown structure (WBS)?
-
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?
-
How should we handle conflicts between the FedRAMP control requirements and Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs)?
