In order to help them integrate security authorizations in cloud contracts, a new website, new training modules and procurement guidance would provide federal officials and suppliers with more advise about the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). On Feb. 19, a panel discussion was held by the Association for Federal Information Resources Management (AFFIRM). Speaking during the discussion, Program director Matt Goodrich, said : "We're looking to change the user experience with FedRAMP."
To be launched in March, the new FedRAMP.gov website will include a new design that will help interested parties easily find the information they need. The FedRAMP program office has discussing with stakeholders about what they'd like to see in a new site and even reached out to disinterested civilians — in the form of Goodrich's friends — to look at the way the average individual surfs the existing site. Goodrich said : "Most of our information is actually in all of our documents," but, "we don't really have a 100,000-foot view of FedRAMP on our website right now. Functionally, what is FedRAMP … we're making sure we have that high level view."
The new site will also have a training module to help suppliers and state understand what FedRAMP is and how to start the process.
Explaining the way the process works and how agencies and suppliers interact with the program, Goodrich said this initial module will be "high level."
