All changes in this version
unchanged AGU: Agency Use of FedRAMP Certified Cloud Services

Title

No Certification Type or Path Preferences

Control

Agencies MUST NOT require cloud service offerings to obtain or maintain a specific FedRAMP Certification Type or FedRAMP Certification Path, UNLESS the head of the agency or an authorized delegate determines there is a demonstrable need and notifies FedRAMP.

Discussion

This is related to the Presumption of Adequacy for a FedRAMP Certification and notification is mandated by OMB Memorandum M-24-15 section IV (a).
