What is FedRAMP?

The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a government-wide program that provides a standardized, secure approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services.

Simply put: Bugcrowd’s Platform must be regularly assessed to ensure it is secure enough to protect the digital operations of the US government.

Trusting the Crowd

Bugcrowd’s FedRAMP Moderate Authorization directly addresses concerns about researcher trust. The rigorous authorization process proves that accessing the global researcher community and meeting strict government security standards are no longer mutually exclusive.

For federal agencies with specific requirements (geolocation restrictions, security clearances, or certification mandates), Bugcrowd offers additional vetting, including ID verification and comprehensive background checks.

FAQs

FedRAMP currently authorizes at Low, Moderate, and High Impact levels. Bugcrowd has achieved Moderate level. This includes more than 300 security controls.

In order to maintain authorization, we have continuous auditing and monitoring taking place. There will be a formal audit that happens on an annual basis. There will also be monthly vulnerability scanning and change controls, along with weekly change advisory boards where we review changes to the environment, patch cycles, and plan updates.

For teams looking to use a service that isn’t FedRamp authorized, they have to go through an arduous process to get provisional authority to operate. This normally takes at least 6-12 months and places a lot of risk and liability on the authorizing organization. Now that teams have the assurance that comes with agency authorization, they can trust that Bugcrowd operates at the highest standards of security, saving time and resources.
