The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a U.S. government-wide program that standardizes security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. Established by the General Services Administration (GSA) in 2012, FedRAMP is a critical compliance framework for any Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or organization offering cloud-based solutions to federal agencies.
To gain FedRAMP compliance, organizations must meet certain cybersecurity requirements outlined in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-53.
Among the essential requirements are security and privacy controls, which must be implemented to protect information systems and sensitive data. That’s where Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC), Sender Policy Framework (SPF), and DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) come into play. The email authentication protocols work together to defend against cyberthreats, such as phishing, which is the most common data breach attack vector as of 2024.
Want to ensure effective and effortless implementation of DMARC, SPF, and DKIM?
Organizations working with federal systems are prime targets for cybercriminals, and email-based attacks can leak sensitive government data, trigger supply chain risks, and result in the loss of federal contracts.
DMARC – along with SPF and DKIM – enables businesses to:
The Security Assessment Framework (SAF) is based on NIST SP 800-53 controls. DMARC, SPF, and DKIM support several of these security requirements, including:
Whether your company is a CSP or a federal contractor, implementing DMARC, SPF, and DKIM is essential to meeting FedRAMP’s high-security standards. These protocols not only protect your business’s domain against spoofing but also show federal agencies that your company is serious about secure communication and data protection.
