FedRAMP | Payment Card Assessments | Federal Assessments

By: MATT WILGUS
July 9th, 2015

Overview In the last 30 days, the FedRAMP Program Management Office (PMO) has published guidance for both vulnerability scanning and penetration testing. The updated guidance comes on the heels of PCI mandating the enhanced penetration testing requirements within its requirement 11.3 as part of the 3.0, now 3.1, version of the DSS. These augmented PCI requirements, introduced in the fall of 2013, took effect on June 30th. For many cloud service providers this means the requirements for vulnerability scanning and penetration testing are more thorough and will require additional resources for planning, executing and remediating findings. This article will walk through the updates and discuss the differentiation between FedRAMP and the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS).

I am delighted that Schellman is now an accredited FedRAMP 3rd Party Assessment Organization (3PAO). This is a testament to our extensive experience in the cloud service provider (CSP) space and the qualifications and experience of a licensed CPA firm, PCI QSA company, and ISO 27001 certification body.
