Cloud Architects & DevOps
Security & Compliance Teams

Lead Assessors
Security Testers
Audit & GRC Staff
A complete, end-to-end view of the FedRAMP ecosystem.
The course is broken into focused modules that walk through the entire lifecycle – from the structure of the program to authorization, assessment, continuous monitoring, annual reviews, and future trends like Rev5 and Zero Trust.
FedRAMP Structure, Purpose & Roles
Understand how the PMO, JAB, agencies, 3PAOs, and CSPs fit together – and how shared responsibility works in real deployments.
Assessments, Testing & Evidence
See FedRAMP from the 3PAO's perspective: what gets tested, what "good" evidence looks like, and where findings commonly arise.
Rev5, Zero Trust & the Future of FedRAMP
Understand how supply-chain, identity, and Zero Trust requirements are reshaping federal cloud security
Authorization Paths: Agency ATO vs JAB P-ATO
Learn how each path works, what it demands from your team, and which is the right choice for your service.
Operations, IR & Change Governance
Incident response expectations, configuration management, change control, and significant change processes that keep your ATO in good standing.
The FedRAMP Documentation Package
SSP, SAP, SAR, POA&M, policies, procedures, diagrams, and inventory – and how they fit together into a coherent package
Continuous Monitoring & ConMon Cadence
Monthly, quarterly, and annual deliverables – from scans and POA&Ms to inventory, incident reporting, and boundary management.
Control Implementation & Architecture
Map NIST SP 800-53 Rev5 controls to cloud-native designs and learn how to describe implementations clearly and defensibly.
Annual Assessments & Long-Term Maturity
How reauthorization works, what annual 3PAO testing includes, and how to build a roadmap for higher FedRAMP maturity.
