FedRAMP Moderate compliance controls

Preview

The ability for admins to add Enhanced Security and Compliance features is a feature in Public Preview. The compliance security profile and support for compliance standards are generally available (GA).

FedRAMP Moderate compliance controls provide enhancements that help you with FedRAMP Moderate compliance for your workspace.

FedRAMP Moderate compliance controls require enabling the compliance security profile, which adds monitoring agents, enforces instance types for inter-node encryption, provides a hardened compute image, and other features. For technical details, see Compliance security profile. It is your responsibility to confirm that each affected workspace has the compliance security profile enabled and confirm that FedRAMP is added as a compliance program.
