Changes have been made along the way to clarify and streamline the process of approving commercial cloud offerings. The process now is greatly different from 201 2. What’s changed? What’s on the horizon? Matt Goodrich (FedRAMP Direc tor) and Michael Carter (Veris Group 3PAO Service Lead) will break down th ese questions and provide a Q&A for anything related to the program.\nMatt Goodrich is the Director for the Federal Risk and Authorization Managemen t Program (FedRAMP) in GSA’s Office of Citizen Services and Innovative T echnologies.\n\nMatt has worked on FedRAMP as part of the Federal Cloud Co mputing Initiative since August of 2009. In this role\, he manages the Fed RAMP Program Management Office and sets the overall direction of the progr am. As a mandatory Federal-wide initiative\, FedRAMP is one of the leading cloud computing security programs paving the way for cloud adoption and e nsuring the security of cloud computing solutions used by the US\nGovernme nt.\n\nMatt has focused his career on removing the barriers to cloud adopt ion across the Federal government. He was part of the team that created th e first government-wide cloud procurement vehicles through Apps.gov as wel l as the IaaS and cloud email BPAs at GSA. He authored two of the integral documents in the Administration’s push for cloud adoption. First\, duri ng his tenure at OMB\, he was the key author of Security Authorization of Information Systems in Cloud Computing Environments which created the FedR AMP program. Second\, he co-wrote Creating Effective Cloud Computing\n\nCo ntracts for the Federal Government: Best Practices for Acquiring IT as a S ervice which provides guidance to agencies in how to procure cloud service s and was published through the CIO and CAO Councils.\nMatt has been recog nized for his efforts by receiving a Federal Computer Weekly Fed100 award in 2013\, a GSA Administrator’s Award in 2014\, and a FierceGovernmentIT Fierce15 Award in 2015.

Matt has a BBA in Computer Information Systems from the University of Miami (FL) and a Juris Doctor from the University of Denver.\nMichael Carter is the 3PAO (third-party as sessment organization) Service Lead for the Veris Group\, which supports F edRAMP.\n\nAs “cloud first” evolved from a federal aspiration to an ac tual practice\, 2015 saw a surge of cloud service providers seeking author ization under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRA MP). Each one required a 3PAO in order to achieve compliance. For those cl oud providers who have successfully navigated the FedRAMP program\, Michae l’s team has been involved in at least half of all FedRAMP-approved clou d offerings from either an advisory or an assessment perspective to date. He currently serves as the VP of Veris Group’s Governance\, Risk\, and C ompliance practice where he is responsible for managing a team of security assessors\, consultants\, and engineers responsible for ensuring commerci al cloud offerings are properly deployed\, documented\, and secured for Go vernment use.\n\nA former government IT specialist himself\, Michael has w orked on FedRAMP since the program’s beginning\, including serving as th e Project Manager for the very first FedRAMP-approved Joint Authorization Board (JAB) Provisional Authorization (pATO) back in 2012. He collaborates closely with the FedRAMP PMO and DISA on possible process improvements an d has established himself as a key resource for the government’s cloud s ecurity community.
