Government: distinguish the buyer and the service

Evaluate federal cloud-service requirements against the current FedRAMP program. State, local and defense procurement can impose different conditions; the contract and system scope determine what to investigate.

Our assessment and evaluation task

Document the government customer, procurement requirement, service boundary and expected assurance deliverable. Use those inputs to compare evidence exports, access controls and deployment options. The compliance platform and the cloud service being assessed are not the same system.
