Forward-thinking state and local governments are participating in the State Risk and Authorization Management Program (StateRAMP) as they build out a robust and secure IT infrastructure. Modeled after the federal government's FedRAMP, the nonprofit membership organization uses independent audits and continuous monitoring to verify that cloud services satisfy standardized state government security requirements and can be used by agencies in multiple jurisdictions. By serving as a trustworthy procurement and compliance standard, StateRAMP helps states manage the risk of moving quickly and securely to the cloud.
How are governments that participate in StateRAMP tapping into the program’s key benefits? What internal and external collaborations does the program engage in to improve cybersecurity? And how is StateRAMP streamlining and shaping cloud procurement? Join Route Fifty and The Atlas for the first episode of the Next Steps for StateRAMP series for an exploration of the organization’s mission and future plans.
