About Google Cloud FedRAMP Compliance

Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, also known as FedRAMP is a government-wide program by the U.S. Federal Government. Moreover, it offers a standardized approach to authorization, security assessment as well as constant monitoring for cloud products and services.

Furthermore, every Federal agency cloud deployment and service model besides specific on-premises clouds has to meet FedRAMP requirements. Additionally, there are three risk impact levels, namely, Low, Moderate and High.

Google Cloud is in line with FedRAMP compliance. Furthermore, it offers specific information on the outlook to security and data protection as per the Google security whitepaper as well as the Google Infrastructure Security Design Overview.

Our GCP Support Team would like to point out that although Google Cloud is in compliance with FedRAMP, we have to evaluate our own FedRAMP compliance. Additionally, we also have to ensure that the applications and environments we build on top of Google Cloud are secure as per FedRAMP requirements.

Authority to Operate (ATO): FedRAMP Compliance

Successfully implementing and executing the FedRAMP accreditation process results in Authority to Operate (ATO) in the cloud. They are two paths:

• P-ATO Provisional ATO or P-ATO is granted by the FedRAMP Joint Authorization Board. In other words, this board defines FedRAMP security controls and also establishes FedRAMP accreditation criteria for third-party assessment organizations.
• Agency ATO Agency ATO appoints authorizing officials (AO) to carry out a risk review. In addition, the AO also authorizes the information system’s usage of cloud services.
