From NIST 800-53 to FedRAMP: What it really takes to bridge the gap
If your cloud platform is already compliant with NIST SP 800-53, you’ve laid important groundwork for security and risk management. But when the goal shifts to serving U.S. federal agencies, the bar is raised significantly. That’s where FedRAMP enters the picture. While FedRAMP is built on NIST 800-53, the two are not interchangeable. FedRAMP adds…The…
