CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 Practice Question

FedRAMP is the U.S. government-wide program that standardizes the security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring of cloud products and services for federal use. When a cloud service receives a FedRAMP Agency ATO at the appropriate impact level (such as Moderate or High), it demonstrates that it satisfies NIST SP 800-53 controls and meets FISMA requirements to handle federal information. While PCI DSS, ISO/IEC 27017, and SOC 2 Type II each address important aspects of information security or cloud governance, none of them fulfills the statutory mandate for federal agencies; only a FedRAMP ATO provides the required governmental assurance.
