Michael Greenman from Deltek joins Eric Crusius to discuss how cloud service providers (CSPs) have emerged as key players in the cybersecurity compliance landscape. From supporting DFARS 7012, CMMC and ITAR compliance, today's government contracting regulatory frameworks increasingly rely on CSPs to demonstrate FedRAMP Moderate Authorization or Equivalency to reduce risk. This episode explores how CSPs support an organization's compliance journey, with a focus on the shared responsibility model, evidence generation, and the rising demand for independently assessed, secure environments. We also unpack what "FedRAMP Authorized" vs. "FedRAMP Equivalency" really means for contractors working with the Department of Defense, and how CSP partnerships can impact a contractor's ability to win government work under emerging regulations like CMMC.
