FedRAMP Rev 5 A.8: Agency ATO and the FedRAMP review to Authorized

What does A.8 require?

After the agency reviews the deliverables, requests any additional testing and accepts the risk, its AO signs an ATO letter to the provider system owner and FedRAMP; FedRAMP then performs a cursory review for government-wide reuse consisting of a quality review that the package is complete and developed to FedRAMP guidance and a risk review that all deficiencies are correctly enumerated across deliverables. The steps are: provider and 3PAO upload current versions of all deliverables and assessment artifacts to the FedRAMP repository (Low and Moderate) or the provider's repository (High); the provider submits the Initial Authorization Package Checklist to intake; FedRAMP verifies the upload; the package enters the queue in order received; the review team raises clarifications and technical gaps, submits a final review report and recommendation to FedRAMP leadership, the Marketplace designation changes to FedRAMP Authorized, and the report, typically with post-authorization actions for the provider and 3PAO, goes to all stakeholders.
