Replicon Compliance
FedRAMP
Replicon is one of the first few companies in the time management domain to achieve the Authority to Operate (ATO) and be compliant with all the norms of the FedRAMP. The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a government-recognized program that offers a standard approach to assessing security, consistent monitoring and authorization for products and services related to cloud computing.
FedRAMP offers a more cost-efficient and risk-based approach to adopt cloud services, helping government and commercial institutions to migrate from legacy IT systems to more secure and seamless cloud solutions.
The FedRAMP Low authorization is the standard guideline for security for cloud computing, especially related to unclassified information across different federal government agencies. It assesses cloud computing solutions for more than 125 controls, encompassing 17 security families from NIST SP 800-53. Solutions that are authorized make it possible for federal agencies in a regulated ecosystem to adopt intelligent cloud solutions.
The FedRAMP is compulsory for all the federal agencies and cloud service providers in the US. It is an important government-recognized platform because:
- It enhances the security posture of cloud solutions, adhering to the National Institutes of Standards & Technology (NIST) and FISMA defined standards.
- It increases the transparency amongst all the cloud service providers and the US government.
- It enables automation and near-real time monitoring on a continuous basis
- It enables easy adoption of secure cloud solutions through reuse of evaluations and authorizations
