Title

Annual Surveillance Assessment

Control

Assessors MUST achieve a favorable annual surveillance assessment by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) to maintain FedRAMP Recognition.

Discussion

Corrective action: Assessors have 75 days to complete corrective actions for nonconformances identified by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA)during a surveillance assessment. If an assessor exceeds the 75 day resolution timeframe, A2LA will supply FedRAMP with a narrative of the assessor's current status, the assessor will be designated as in Remediation in the FedRAMP Marketplace, and the assessor must supply a corrective action plan to FedRAMP.
