Mapping FedRamp Controls to FIPS 140-Validated Cryptography
FedRAMP relies on NIST’s SP 800-53 controls and the FIPS 140 validation framework to ensure secure cloud deployments for the U.S federal government. Yet some vendors misunderstand how these requirements intersect and what’s really required for cryptographic compliance.
This whitepaper clarifies how FIPS 140-validated encryption maps to FedRAMP’s security control baselines, helping agencies and cloud service providers understand both the technical and procedural steps to achieve authorization.
What You’ll Learn:
- How FedRAMP reuses NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 4 controls for cloud and where encryption is enforced
- Why IA-7, SC-12, and SC-13 trigger a requirement for FIPS 140-validated modules at every FedRAMP baseline
- How CMVP / CAVP validation fits into FedRAMP authorization packages and SSPs
- How SafeLogic (FIPS) and Coalfire (FedRAMP 3PAO) helps vendors streamline validation and authorization in parallel
