Federal Compliance

Definitions

1. Adherence to security, privacy, and operational requirements imposed by federal laws, regulations, or agency frameworks. In practice this often means aligning controls, documentation, and audits to standards such as FedRAMP, FISMA, or agency-specific rules.

   In plain English: Meeting security and regulatory requirements set by the federal government.

   Example: "Selling to agencies required more than good security; it required formal federal compliance evidence."
