Gerry Connolly, D-Va., said on the House floor Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe bill also facilitates the reuse of cloud technologies that have already received a reauthorization to operate, by requiring agencies to check a centralized and secure repository and to the extent practicable, reuse any existing security assessment before conducting an independent one of their own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A central complaint of the FedRAMP program has been that it\u2019s promised <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/it-networks\/cloud\/2019\/10\/02\/the-federal-cloud-tools-program-wants-to-improve-timeliness\/\" target=_blank>cost and time savings<\/a> have not been fully realized, as agencies have not treated the authorizations issued for a particular product by another agency as fully viable, making that cloud service provider go through the authorization process all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bill also calls on GSA to look for even further ways to automate the authorization process, thereby reducing time and costs even further, while actively looking for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/it-networks\/cloud\/2019\/07\/17\/small-businesses-struggle-to-climb-the-fedramp\/\" target=_blank>improvements to the program<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA significant provision of this bill is the Federal Secure Cloud Advisory Committee. This committee would be tasked with key responsibilities, including providing technical expertise on cloud products and services and identifying ways to reduce costs associated with FedRAMP certification,\u201d said Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The FedRAMP process has been heralded as a central component of the White House\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/it-networks\/cloud\/2019\/06\/24\/white-house-releases-final-strategy-on-how-to-get-cloud-smart\/\" target=_blank>Cloud Smart strategy<\/a>, which stated that the program has \u201callowed for a flourishing marketplace of vetted providers to develop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strategy also called for process improvements to the program, increasing the likelihood that the bipartisan legislation will get a sign off from the White House, if it passes the Senate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legislation
