Learn what StateRAMP is and its shared service model for best practices that can help your organization manage risk and verify security.
In this webinar, DataBank’s CISO, Mark Houpt will be discussing StateRAMP’s shared service model for best practices that can help your organization manage risk and verify security. Mark will discuss the application of StateRAMP within your organization and how to apply for the authorization. He will also describe how the controls can be implemented and the important differences between StateRAMP and FedRAMP. With more companies offering work-from-home capabilities and more data moving to the cloud, it is important to implement controls to reduce your risk of being affected by a cyberattack. StateRAMP is working with state and local governments, service providers, and third-party assessment organizations to standardize these controls.
