Office of Management and Budget

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is the organization behind the president’s budget in the United States. It is the biggest office under the Executive Office of the President (EOP).

The FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) guidelines were created by the OMB in 2011. The main purpose of this government program is to maintain secure cloud practices across the state.

Due to the rise in cloud adoption of businesses over the years, in May 2024, the OMB set up the first FedRAMP Board and created the FedRAMP Technical Advisory Group (TAG).

The FedRAMP Board, along with FedRAMP TAG (Technical Advisory Group) and FSCAC (Federal Secure Cloud Advisory Committee) work together as a group of executive, technical, and industry experts to enhance the FedRAMP program while keeping security standards current and enhancing transparency. They also simplify the process for agencies to fully leverage cloud services.

In April, 2024, the OMB also released guidelines for FedRAMP to issue Authorizations to Operate (ATOs) on priority to businesses and emerging technologies in the cloud making use of Generative AI.

The OMB is directly involved in the oversight and support of the Chief Information Officers (CIO) Council, which consists of CIOs from federal agencies. The OMB helps shape IT management policies and practices through this Council.
