Agencies are struggling to follow the rules around cloud computing.
The Council of Inspectors General analyzed 77 commercial cloud contracts across 19 civilian agencies and found most failed to implement federal guidance and best practices.
“The specificity of the requirements incorporated into the contracts used to procure cloud systems varied across the sample, with all 77 contracts lacking the detailed specifications recommended in federal cloud computing guidelines and best practices documentation,” the IGs wrote in the report released to the public Oct. 9. “Additionally, 59 cloud systems reviewed did not meet the requirement to become compliant with the Federal Risk Authorization and Management Program (FedRAMP) by June 5, 2014, even though the requirement was announced on December 8, 2011.”
