FedRAMP

Rev 5 Baselines

The FedRAMP control baselines aligned to NIST SP 800-53 Revision 5, which superseded Revision 4 across the FedRAMP program in 2023. The Revision 5 Low baseline contains 156 controls, Moderate contains 323, and High contains 410, with new emphasis on supply chain risk management, privacy, and contractor accountability that did not appear at the same depth in Revision 4.
