Re: FedRAMP vs DOD's standards
Ms. Takai talks about using the FedRAMP brand. I don't have a good feel for what that brand stands for, though, to would-be cloud buyers. Does it convey security, reliability, ease of use, or more narrowly "government-readiness"? Or something else?
FedRAMP vs DOD's standards
One of the open questions about FedRAMP and its adoption at the Department of Defense revolves around FedRAMP's reliance on the NIST 800-53 standards while DOD's still relies on its own DIACAP IT certifcation standards.
I asked Teri Takai about that. She told me that the Defense Department is close to finallzing recommendations to shift from the DIACAP process to the NIST standard. It's part of a broader decision to move away from unique DOD standards to more broad-based standards, including NIST's standards. Not surprisingly, the recommendations are getting a heavy legal review at the Pentagon.
