EXECUTIVE BREAKFAST: Achieving Success with FedRAMP

This EXECUTIVE BREAKFAST for Government and Industry will help in preparing for & Selecting from Among the Accredited Third Party Assessment Organizations (3PAOs). The event will focus on: What Cloud Service Providers and Government Agencies Need to Know to Receive Third Party Accreditation in Accordance With FedRAMP

Approximately 80 Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) have applied for accreditation through FedRAMP, working with one or more of the 22 accredited Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAOs)to prepare. It is estimated that approximately 50% of the CSPs have been rejected by the 3PAOs – many for lack of preparation or rigor in their submission. This has cost the rejected CSPs significant funds and put them behind schedule. There has not been any formal discussion as to lessons learned or best practices in applying for or participating in the accreditation process. This Potomac Forum – SIIA Executive Breakfast will provide the missing information.

What You Will Learn:

How to Prepare for the 3PAO Accreditation Process
Lessons Learned from Cloud Service Providers in Completing the 3PAO process
Current Administration thoughts on FedRAMP
What Government Agencies Have Learned from the 3PAO process (both those Agencies who have contracted with 3PAO Certified CSP and Agencies who wish to go through the 3PAO process to receive certification as a Government Cloud Service Provider).

Why You Should Attend:

Industry Cloud Service Providers must select from among the 3PAOs to perform authorizations.
This Potomac Forum/SSIA event will provide information from the 3PAOs to make the selection.
Government Agencies will want to understand the capabilities of the 3PAOs to make a selection as to which to use for their Certification as an Agency Cloud Service Provider.
Future Industry Cloud Service Providers will want to learn more about the authorization process.
Companies who are applying to be a 3PAO will want to understand the lessons learned in preparation for their submission to become a 3PAO.
It is estimated that 50% of all Cloud Service Providers have been rejected during the 3PAO Process. Attending this Event could save CSPs and Government Agencies thousands of dollars in understanding how to prepare and learning from the lessons provided
