What FedRAMP Moderate (NIST) requires

Adherence to the FedRAMP Moderate authorization baseline ensures cloud service offerings meet the stringent security and privacy controls defined in NIST Special Publication 800-53, Revision 5, for protecting controlled unclassified information. This compliance framework mandates the implementation of FIPS PUB 140-3 validated cryptographic modules, requiring all data in transit plus data at rest to be encrypted. System access controls are rigorously enforced; multi-factor authentication is mandatory for network access, and user sessions will automatically terminate following a 15-minute idle timeout period. Consistent with FedRAMP Vulnerability Scanning Requirements, systems must undergo comprehensive vulnerability scans at a minimum frequency of every 30 days. The remediation timeline for identified vulnerabilities is strict: high-risk findings must be resolved within 30 days, whereas moderate-risk findings are allotted 90 days. Incident response protocols demand immediate action, with a reporting window of just one hour from detection. Furthermore, a robust continuous monitoring program, guided by the Continuous Monitoring Strategy Guide and OMB Circular A-130's principles for managing information resources, must be maintained. This includes the retention of audit logs for a full 365 days and the submission of updated Plan of Action and Milestones (POAM) documentation at least every 30 days, coinciding with continuous monitoring reporting cycles.
