If I had the Elder Wand, here’s how I'd immediately change FedRAMP:
Empower companies to pursue FedRAMP independently – no more waiting for the stars to align. Removing this barrier would accelerate innovation without sacrificing quality.
The FedRAMP PMO should borrow a page from the AICPA's playbook for CPA firms and directly audit and oversee 3PAOs.
This change would streamline approvals while maintaining the rigorous standards FedRAMP demands.
These two simple shifts would dramatically improve accessibility without lowering FedRAMP’s high security standards.
Achieving FedRAMP compliance means operating at the highest levels of security – beneficial even if you never directly sell to the government. Your customers that do sell to the government will thank you.
What would you change? Share your ideas over on LinkedIn.
PS, if you've been scared of FedRAMP – it's faster, less expensive, and easier than ever with Paramify. Check out a demo today to see how much better it can be.
