FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program)
FedRAMP is the U.S. government program for cloud service security assessment and Certification. The 2026 rules use Certification Classes A–D and provider Vulnerability Detection and Response (VDR) and Vulnerability Evaluation and Reporting (VER); the earlier Rev5 model remains a legacy framework through applicable transition dates.

What is FedRAMP?
Cloud service providers pursue Low, Moderate, or High baselines derived from NIST SP 800-53. Authorization packages include an SSP, SAP/SAR, POA&Ms, and continuous monitoring deliverables reviewed by a 3PAO and an agency Authorizing Official.
Why It Matters
Agency buyers increasingly require FedRAMP authorization before procurement. The same control baseline underpins many defense and civilian cloud paths.
How Advisedly Helps
Advisedly supports control and evidence workflows for customers preparing FedRAMP materials. FedRAMP’s current rules use VDR/VER; agencies and CMMC programs continue to use POA&Ms. Advisedly is not FedRAMP Certified. Assess readiness.
