FedRAMP
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. AWS has two separate FedRAMP Agency ATOs in the FedRAMP Repository; one ATO applicable to the AWS US East/West regions, and the other applicable to the AWS GovCloud (US) Region. AWS US East/West is a multi-tenant public cloud for federal, state, and local government customers, as well as enterprise customers, and is designed to meet a wide range of regulatory requirements, including government compliance and security requirements. AWS GovCloud (US) is an AWS Region designed to allow US government agencies, contractors and customers to move more sensitive workloads into the cloud by addressing their specific regulatory and compliance requirements, such as ITAR, which governs how organizations manage and store defense-related data. Additional information is available at AWS GovCloud (US) Region.
Agencies and federal contractors can immediately request access to the AWS HHS ATO packages by submitting a FedRAMP Package Access Request Form for the "Amazon Web Services - AWS GovCloud (US) Region" with package ID "AGENCYAMAZONGC" and the "Amazon Web Services - US East/West Region" with package ID "AGENCYAMAZONEW". Additional information on FedRAMP, including the FedRAMP Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and Guide to Understanding FedRAMP, can be found at http://www.fedramp.gov.
AWS GovCloud (US) Region
