Unfortunately, cybercrime is once again in the news. This time, a small county in Ohio has been the victim of an attack that has destabilized their ability to provide critical services to constituents.
While the damage itself isn’t devastating, it highlights the fact that no government agency, no matter how big or small, is immune to attacks. This is why adoption and adherence to GovRAMP are so important.
The urgent need for standardized cybersecurity protocols has become paramount to mitigate these risks. This is where StateRAMP comes into play. Modeled after FedRAMP, StateRAMP ensures that cloud service providers meet rigorous security standards before working with state governments.
In this article, we’ll explore the cost implications of StateRAMP compliance, its security benefits, and how organizations can strategically manage their budgets while maintaining compliance.
To help limit compliance costs and support local adoption of stringent cybersecurity measures, the StateRAMP organization has announced that it is moving forward with a plan to map the Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) framework into StateRAMP.
What does this mean for CSPs at the state level? So far, we don’t know much, but it could have big implications for agencies covering local and state law enforcement.
