{ Benefits of OSCAL }
FedRAMP Authority to Operate (ATO) process innovations have finally arrived.
Security assessments and authorizations are extremely time consuming. FedRAMP’s (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) goal is to reduce end-to-end authorization and review timelines through automation.
The FedRAMP Program Management Office (PMO) in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), has released FedRAMP-specific Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL) based Security Authorization Package guidelines.
OSCAL Version 1 has been finalized
OSCAL provides control-based security compliance information in machine-readable formats. These formats include control catalogs, control baselines, system security plans, and assessment plans and results.
Related, the new OSCAL standard allows FedRAMP to automate security package review and empowers CSPs and the 3PAO to conduct self-validation prior to package submission.
