The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered an acute need for healthcare providers to avail the assistance of technology solution providers that offer solutions based on industry-wide regulations like FedRAMP.
Nowadays, IT and tech solutions are developing applications keeping compliance in mind. Healthcare providers and public agencies can implement such digital applications to address the challenges. However, the best digital healthcare application is the one that has gone through the best testing process. We help you know this by discussing the best testing approach for healthcare applications in the context of FEDRAMP.

The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a risk-based approach to adopt and leverage the cloud by the federal government. Established in 2011, it is intended to empower enterprises with new-age cloud capabilities. A cost-effective approach, it emphasizes security of federal information, authorization, and continuous monitoring of cloud’s performance and its products.
Some of the reasons explaining the importance of FedRAMP are as below:
The Agency Authorization process allows agencies to work with a CSP (Cloud Service provider as and when required. When a CSP decides to work with an agency to avail Authority to Operate (ATO), they get to work with the agency throughout the FedRAMP authorization lifecycle. Listed below are the different processes that go into the authorization process.
