FedRAMP Compliance

Open mooreds opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

FedRAMP Compliance

Problem

The software is not compliant with the requirements for FedRAMP authorization. This creates challenges for organizations that need to meet these federal security standards to adopt or continue using FusionAuth.

Solution

FusionAuth should explore becoming FedRAMP authorized and make it easier for federal agencies or organizations working in highly regulated sectors to adopt the platform.

We could also be listed on the FedRAMP marketplace: https://marketplace.fedramp.gov/

Alternatives/workarounds

  • Become FIPS compliant (see #2905).
  • There are vendors out there that can help us become FedRAMP authorized or let us deploy into their FedRAMP environments: https://uberether.com/ is one

Additional context

FedRAMP authorization validation are increasingly becoming critical compliance requirements for U.S. government agencies and contractors, which limits FusionAuth’s market potential in these sectors.

If we implement this, make sure to update the license FAQ: https://fusionauth.io/license-faq#46

Splitting up https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-issues/issues/2905 since FedRAMP and FIPS are related, but not the same.
