FedRAMP · Federal cloud service review
FedRAMP review for federal file sharing
Start with the exact cloud offering named in the proposal. Check its published status and boundary, then ask the agency what evidence it needs for this particular file exchange.
Inspect the evidence
Match the published information to the proposed environment and document anything outside its boundary.
Confirm agency approval
Identify who may approve the intended use and what is still needed for that decision.
Separate service status from agency use
A service listing is one input to review. Ask the agency owner how the proposed configuration fits the use case.
FedRAMP certification
Review the cloud offering’s certification status and supporting package. Confirm that the specific service and features you need fall within the documented scope.
Agency authorization
Assess the service for the intended federal use. Resolve the agency’s requirements, configuration decisions and operating responsibilities through its approval process.
Terminology note: the current Marketplace uses “FedRAMP Certification” and Classes A to D. Older documents may use “FedRAMP Authorization” and impact levels. Check the current listing and agency guidance.
Verify the scope of the listing
Check that the entry names the offering being evaluated and applies to the components in the transfer route.
Match the offering.
Check the exact service name, included services and dependencies. Record the package identifier and current status for the offering you intend to use.
Review the evidence.
Work with your agency liaison to obtain the appropriate security materials. Assess the service scope, relevant class and customer responsibilities.
Confirm the agency decision.
Bring the service review into the agency’s Authorization to Operate process. Record operating conditions and unresolved requirements before use.
Prepare a service-specific review
Bring a fictional package, a diagram of the route and a list of external dependencies to the assessment.

Is MX FedRAMP certified?
This page does not claim that MX is FedRAMP certified. Verify the exact offering in the official Marketplace and obtain supporting evidence before relying on any certification statement.
Does a certified hosting provider cover every application hosted on it?
Do not infer an application’s status from its infrastructure provider. Review the exact cloud service offering, assessment scope, dependencies and responsibilities.
Does FedRAMP certification grant an agency ATO?
No. The agency makes its own Authorization to Operate decision. FedRAMP provides security materials that can support that assessment.
Why do older documents use different terms?
The current Marketplace uses certification terminology and classes. Historical material may retain authorization and impact-level terminology. Confirm the current status and requirements rather than relying on an old label.
