FedRAMP for Banking & Capital Markets
What FedRAMP means for Banking & Capital Markets organizations — and how we implement it at the architecture level.
Federal Reserve banks, OCC-regulated national banks, and financial institutions serving federal government programs must sometimes satisfy FedRAMP requirements for cloud systems processing government financial data. Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) vendor systems, systems processing federal employee benefit payments, and platforms serving federal agency treasury functions may require FedRAMP authorization at the Moderate or High impact level.
Financial services organizations pursuing FedRAMP authorization face a dual compliance challenge: banking regulators (OCC, Federal Reserve, FDIC) examine information security through their own examination frameworks, while FedRAMP requires NIST SP 800-53 control implementation and 3PAO assessment. Designing systems that satisfy both financial regulatory examination standards and FedRAMP authorization requirements requires understanding which controls overlap and which require separate implementation.
FedRAMP Moderate or High authorization for cloud systems processing federal financial data
FIPS-140-2 cryptography satisfying both FedRAMP and banking regulatory encryption requirements
Control mapping between NIST SP 800-53, SOC 2, and banking examination frameworks
System Security Plan documentation meeting FedRAMP PMO submission standards
Continuous monitoring capabilities satisfying FedRAMP ConMon reporting requirements
We map FedRAMP requirements against banking regulatory examination frameworks before architecture begins — identifying shared controls and framework-specific obligations. FIPS-140-2 cryptography and unified audit logging satisfy requirements across both frameworks. SSP documentation is designed to be extractable from the deployment pipeline rather than assembled manually.
