Michelle White, FSCAC DFO, introduced John Hamilton, Program Manager of Security Operations of FedRAMP. Michelle reminded everyone to hold questions until the end of the presentation. John introduced himself and his role in the FR program and his overview of how to make the program better in the future. John began the presentation with an overview of the current Agency CSP Authorization Process, as this is the most commonly used path for authorization. He described the high-level steps for the Agency Authorization path and the differences between the three FedRAMP designations: FedRAMP Ready, In-Process, and FedRAMP Authorized. John also discussed current stakeholder pressure points and challenges related to the authorization process and explained the increased demand in the program. He detailed the transition to a CRM and how this will support automation efforts. He explained the current authorization timeline breakdown with examples of how many packages were submitted in 2023 and how long each package took to complete. John emphasized the importance of moving to OSCAL as the foundation of the FedRAMP platform and the opportunities that this language provides for the program鈥檚 modernization efforts. Additional details were provided about the program modernization efforts and the future state outcomes to better meet the customer needs and
increase in demand.
John Hamilton opened up the floor for questions. Some of the main questions pertained to package submission issues and root causes, clarification around the authorization process, training opportunities, funding and resourcing of the program, and pilot opportunities for the new modernization effort.
The committee welcomed comments from members of the public. There were no public comments.
On behalf of the FSCAC Chair, Ann Lewis, who was experiencing technical difficulties at the time, Michelle White, FSCAC DFO, reviewed the overview of the process and the topics for discussion and improvements and called on members as they raised their hands to provide their input, which was directly captured live during the meeting in the draft memo.
