A security manager is evaluating different security control frameworks for a project involving standardized security assessments and authorization processes for cloud providers. Which applicable framework was originally developed in 2011 as a collaborative effort between GSA, DOD, and DHS to reduce duplicative efforts?
ISO 27001
FedRAMP
COBIT
NIST
The correct answer is FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program). FedRAMP was developed in 2011 as a collaborative effort between the General Services Administration (GSA), Department of Defense (DOD), and Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Its purpose was to provide a cost-effective, risk-based approach for the adoption and use of cloud services by the U.S. federal government, reducing duplicative efforts and inconsistencies in security assessments.
While NIST provides various security frameworks including SP 800-53 (which FedRAMP leverages), it wasn't specifically created as a collaborative effort between these three agencies in 2011. ISO 27001 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization, not a U.S. government initiative. COBIT is developed by ISACA as a business framework for governance and management of enterprise IT.
