FedRAMP Security Assessment Plan (SAP)

This FedRAMP Security Assessment Plan (SAP) outlines the methodology, scope, and responsibilities for conducting security assessments of FedRAMP-authorized systems. It ensures compliance with FedRAMP Moderate/High baseline requirements by verifying the implementation and effectiveness of security controls.

Key Features:

• Assessment Scope: Defines system boundaries, control families, data types, and assessment type (e.g., Initial, Annual).
• Roles and Responsibilities: Specifies tasks for the 3PAO, system owner, ISSO, and other stakeholders.
• Methodology: Includes testing methods such as policy reviews, interviews, and vulnerability scans using approved tools.
• Deliverables: Produces a Security Assessment Report (SAR), risk exposure summary, and updates to the Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M).
• Plan Maintenance: Ensures the SAP is updated regularly to reflect changes in the system or requirements.

This plan provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating security controls and maintaining FedRAMP compliance
