The 2 Things I Wish I Could Change About FedRAMP

‍

If I had the Elder Wand, here’s how I'd immediately change FedRAMP:

1- Eliminate the Agency Sponsorship Requirement

Empower companies to pursue FedRAMP independently – no more waiting for the stars to align. Removing this barrier would accelerate innovation without sacrificing quality.

2- PMO Oversight of 3PAOs (Not CSPs) 

The FedRAMP PMO should borrow a page from the AICPA's playbook for CPA firms and directly audit and oversee 3PAOs. 

This change would streamline approvals while maintaining the rigorous standards FedRAMP demands.

Why These Changes to FedRAMP Could Help

These two simple shifts would dramatically improve accessibility without lowering FedRAMP’s high security standards. 

Achieving FedRAMP compliance means operating at the highest levels of security – beneficial even if you never directly sell to the government. Your customers that do sell to the government will thank you.
