FedRAMP Low Compliance Report

Overview

This report performs a technical assessment of your AWS environment against the FedRAMP Low compliance standard. FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) is a U.S. government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. The Low baseline is designed for cloud systems that handle low-impact data and still require robust foundational security controls.

This assessment evaluates your environment based on the following grouped controls:

System and Communications Protection (SC)

The assessment covers many AWS services, including IAM, EC2, CloudTrail, S3, and Security Hub.
