Cloud Security for Federal Agencies

This paper helps federal agency executives evaluate security and privacy features when choosing a cloud service provider (CSP). We explain the FedRAMP delineation of responsibility between the agency and the CSP, and how to assess the risk and value of the CSP’s offering. Using a CSP certified through GSA and FedRAMP provides an initial risk assessment of the cloud offering. Knowing what is included in the services and the inherited controls allows agencies to gain the most value for the least risk.
