What is FedRAMP
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a U.S. government program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services.
FedRAMP Moderate Authorization
FedRAMP Moderate is the middle tier of three authorization levels:
- Low: Low-impact systems
- Moderate: Moderate-impact systems (Replicon's level)
- High: High-impact systems
Moderate authorization is appropriate for systems handling:
- Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
- Federal contract data
- Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
- Time and attendance records for federal workers
Why This Matters for Government Contractors
Government contractors must comply with strict requirements:
DFARS 7012
- Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement
- Requires safeguarding of covered defense information
- Mandates specific security controls
CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification)
- Level 2: Implements intermediate cybersecurity practices
- Level 3: Implements good cybersecurity practices
- Required for DOD contractors
Time Tracking Implications
- Employee time records may contain CUI
- Project codes may be sensitive
- Labor allocation data requires protection
- Must maintain audit trails
