Today, the FedRAMP program is releasing a roadmap, to convey our strategic goals and how we’re prioritizing our work in the near term to drive progress against them.
In recent years, there has been a significant public focus on modernizing FedRAMP. In 2022, Congress passed a new law codifying the program. In 2023, the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released a draft policy memorandum proposing significant changes to program operations and governance. Broadly, these changes have been intended to keep what’s worked well about FedRAMP, while creating a runway for the program to adapt to change, now and into the future.
And that makes sense, because a lot has changed since FedRAMP was created in 2011. At that time, the federal government was overwhelmingly focused on making sure agencies could benefit from the explosion in commercial, cloud-based computing infrastructure that was transforming how enterprises around the world thought about building and scaling software. FedRAMP proved critical to creating a well-lit path to bring that cloud computing infrastructure into government, where its use is now widespread.
