Title

Agency Use Cases

Control

Providers MUST demonstrate that a cloud service offering is intended for one of the following use cases:
- Direct Use: The product will be used directly by agency customers for integration into a federal information system that falls within the scope of 44 USC § 3506 and will receive an agency Authorization to Operate.
- Indirect Use: The product will be included as a third-party information resource in other cloud service offerings that are directly used by agency customers.

Discussion

FedRAMP will not list products or services that are outside the explicit statutory scope of FedRAMP; See MKT-FRP-SOF (Scope of FedRAMP).
Services used by private companies to meet other compliance requirements (such as CMMC) that do not also meet one of the above use cases are outside the scope of FedRAMP.
