FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) Rev. 5 — aligned with NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 — is the authorization framework for cloud services used by US federal agencies. If your AI platform is used by a federal agency, or if you're building AI agents that operate on FedRAMP-authorized infrastructure, you're in this regulatory environment.

The 2024 FedRAMP authorization process reform has made the path somewhat faster for some providers. But the substantive requirements — particularly around logging, access control, and incident reporting — are unchanged and extensive.

CMMC 2.0 is no longer proposed — it's in the Federal Register and is being phased into DoD contracts through 2026. If you're a defense contractor that uses AI agents to handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), you need CMMC compliance baked into those agents.

The consequence of getting this wrong isn't a fine. It's losing your DoD contracts.
