The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) within GSA is responsible for providing a standardized, reusable approach to security assessment and authorization for cloud computing products and services that process unclassified information used by agencies.
The FSCAC will provide advice and recommendations to the Administrator of GSA, the FedRAMP Board, and agencies on technical, financial, programmatic, and operational matters regarding the secure adoption of cloud computing products and services. The FSCAC will ensure effective and ongoing coordination of agency adoption, use, authorization, monitoring, acquisition, and security of cloud computing products and services to enable agency mission and administrative priorities. The purposes of the Committee are: • To examine the operations of FedRAMP and determine ways that authorization processes can continuously be improved, including the following: ○ Measures to increase agency reuse of FedRAMP authorizations. ○ Proposed actions that can be adopted to reduce the burden, confusion, and cost associated with FedRAMP authorizations for cloud service providers. ○ Measures to increase the number of FedRAMP authorizations for cloud computing products and services offered by small businesses concerns (as defined by section 3(a) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632(a)). ○ Proposed actions that can be adopted to reduce the burden and cost of FedRAMP authorizations for agencies. • Collect information and feedback on agency compliance with, and implementation of, FedRAMP requirements. • Serve as a forum that facilitates communication and collaboration among the FedRAMP stakeholder community.
The FSCAC will meet no fewer than three
(3)times a calendar year. Meetings shall occur as frequently as needed, called, and approved by the DFO.
