FedRAMP High — federal regulated workloads, authorised.
FedRAMP High is the authorisation level for cloud services handling federal information at high impact for confidentiality, integrity, or availability — typical for law-enforcement, healthcare, financial, and other regulated federal workloads. The baseline is NIST 800-53 Rev 5; the ATO process runs through 3PAO assessment and JAB / agency authorising official sponsorship.

What FedRAMP High requires.
NIST 800-53 Rev 5 High baseline — 421 controls across 20 control families (AC, AT, AU, CA, CM, CP, IA, IR, MA, MP, PE, PL, PM, PS, PT, RA, SA, SC, SI, SR).
Authorisation pathway — 3PAO assessment → System Security Plan (SSP) → Security Assessment Report (SAR) → Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) → Authority to Operate (ATO).
Continuous monitoring — monthly vulnerability scanning, annual assessment of a subset of controls, significant-change re-assessment.
FedRAMP-mandated US-person personnel — system administrators with US person status; background investigation per personnel categories.
How TeamSync addresses FedRAMP High.
1. NIST 800-53 Rev 5 High baseline implemented + 3PAO-assessed.
All 421 controls implemented; 3PAO assessment complete; SSP / SAR / POA&M maintained.
2. ATO inheritance.
Agency authorising officials inherit TeamSync's controls; agency-specific ATO scope reduced to agency-controlled boundary.
3. HSPD-12 / FIPS 201 / PIV authentication.
Federal credential authentication via RBAC + Backup integration with PIV-issuing CAs.
4. Continuous monitoring.
Monthly vulnerability scans + annual assessments + change-re-assessment built into operations.
5. CJIS / IL5 / DoD overlay readiness.
CJIS Security Policy v5.9+ overlay ready; IL5 / DoD CC SRG path planned.
6. Audit ledger anchors agency-relevant events.
Agency record events anchored in Merkle audit ledger; IG / NARA / Congressional inquiry pre-formatted.
