Less than three months after a wave of negative feedback from industry forced the General Services Administration to revamp the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, a new MeriTalk survey shows for the first time that many government IT officials doubt the value of the program in its current form.
According to the survey of 150 Federal IT decision-makers, four out of five officials (79 percent) are frustrated with FedRAMP, characterizing the process as “a compliance exercise.” In fact, some officials ignore the program entirely even though it is mandatory for Federal agency cloud deployments and service models at the low and moderate risk impact levels. Nearly one in five officials surveyed (17 percent) report FedRAMP compliance does not factor into their cloud decisions, while 59 percent would consider a non-FedRAMP-compliant cloud.
