All changes in this version
unchanged FRC: FedRAMP Certification

Title

Upgrading Certification Class

Control

Providers MUST apply for a new FedRAMP Certification to upgrade their Certification Class; all applicable requirements MUST be met in advance.

Discussion

Upgrade paths include moving from A to B, C, or D; B to C or D; and C to D.
The preferred path is to incrementally update the implementation and assurance commitments within the current Certification Class until the provider has met all requirements for the target Certification Class, then apply for the new Certification Class.
