Title
Verified Emails
Control
FedRAMP MUST send messages to cloud service providers using an official @fedramp.gov or @gsa.gov email address with properly configured Sender Policy Framework (SPF), DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM), and Domain-based Message Authentication Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) email authentication.
Discussion
Anyone at GSA can send email from @fedramp.gov or @gsa.gov - FedRAMP team members will typically have "FedRAMP" or "F20B" in their name but this is not universal or enforceable. The nature of government enterprise IT services makes it difficult for FedRAMP to isolate FedRAMP-specific team members with enforceable identifiers.
