====== FR-COMP-006 — FedRAMP Baseline Definitions ======

[[dido:02-crusible:99-annexes:annex-c-requirements:03-functional-requirements:03-06-compliance-management:start|Go to Crucible Compliance Management Requirements]]

===== Statement =====

[[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:crucible|Crucible]] SHALL define [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:fedramp|Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP)]] [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:compliance_baseline|Compliance Baselines]].

===== Derived From =====

This requirement derives from:

  * Crucible System Requirements Specification, Version 1.1 Draft, Functional Requirements, FR-COMP-006

The Original Requirement states:

> //The system shall support [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:fedramp|FedRAMP]] baseline definitions.//[[dido:02-crusible:99-annexes:annex-b:cr-001|[C1]]]

FR-COMP-006:

  * Replaces **The system** with the defined system name [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:crucible|Crucible]]
  * Changes **shall** to the established uppercase normative form **SHALL**
  * Replaces the weak phrase **support FedRAMP baseline definitions** with the observable behavior **define FedRAMP Compliance Baselines**
  * Links **FedRAMP** and **Compliance Baselines** to their controlling definitions
  * Preserves FedRAMP as the source-identified compliance framework

No other substantive normalization is required.

===== Rationale =====

The [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:fedramp|Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP)]] establishes standardized security requirements and assessment expectations for cloud services used by United States federal agencies.

A FedRAMP [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:compliance_baseline|Compliance Baseline]] enables Crucible compliance activities to represent criteria derived from an identified FedRAMP baseline.

Such a Compliance Baseline can include:

  * Security controls
  * Control enhancements
  * Control parameters
  * Assessment objectives
  * Required implementation information
  * Applicability conditions
  * Required Evidence
  * References to the source FedRAMP baseline
  * References to related control catalogs

This requirement establishes definition of FedRAMP Compliance Baselines without prescribing:

  * A particular FedRAMP baseline
  * A particular FedRAMP revision
  * Import of externally defined FedRAMP content
  * Application of a Compliance Baseline
  * Compliance scanning
  * Compliance assessment
  * Remediation
  * Compliance reporting
  * Evidence generation
  * Automatic updates
  * Approval or lifecycle management

Separate requirements, architecture specifications, workflows, or policies define those subjects and behaviors.

===== Applies To =====

This requirement applies to:

  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:crucible|Crucible]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:fedramp|Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP)]]
  * FedRAMP [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:compliance_baseline|Compliance Baselines]]
  * FedRAMP Compliance Baseline definition operations

===== Verification =====

Verification confirms that:

  - A FedRAMP baseline is selected for testing
  - [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:crucible|Crucible]] defines a [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:compliance_baseline|Compliance Baseline]] associated with the selected FedRAMP baseline
  - The defined Compliance Baseline identifies the FedRAMP baseline from which it derives
  - The compliance criteria represented by the defined Compliance Baseline can be determined
  - The resulting Compliance Baseline can be identified

===== Notes for Editors =====

This requirement page retains the stable requirement identifier ''FR-COMP-006''.

This page is a leaf requirement page and omits a trailing '':start'' from its namespace.

The Statement preserves the approved source intent by requiring Crucible to define FedRAMP Compliance Baselines.

Use the following controlling Terms and Definitions entries:

  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:fedramp|Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP)]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:compliance_baseline|Compliance Baseline]]

Do not change **define** to **provide**, **import**, **maintain**, **apply**, **scan against**, or **assess against** unless the controlling requirement identifies that specific behavior.

Do not add a particular FedRAMP baseline, FedRAMP revision, cloud service, scanning tool, update mechanism, remediation process, reporting obligation, or Evidence-generation obligation unless the controlling requirement changes through an approved requirements process.
