FedRAMP Program Management Office

The FedRAMP PMO (Program Management Office) is the executive office that manages the functioning of the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to continuous security and risk assessment for cloud products and services.

GSA set up the FebRAMP PMO to coordinate with the Joint Authorization Board-the governing body of FedRAMP-on collaborative activities.

The FebRAMP PMO is a group of cloud security, risk management, and government procurement experts that aid both federal agencies and cloud service providers in navigating the FedRAMP authorization process. It also maintains an authoritative, secure database of FedRAMP authorizations to facilitate easier reusability of existing security packages among agencies.

The FedRAMP PMO focuses on growing the adoption of secure cloud technologies not only from within but also outside of government agencies and promotes reliable cloud solutions throughout the state. It strives to improve how the government secures and authorizes such technologies while ensuring that the process always keeps pace with changing needs.

Additionally, the PMO also focuses on building and maintaining strong relationships with all FedRAMP stakeholders and fosters cross-collaboration and support.
