Clearly they can get some department to sponsor them and then find a 3pao and take the appropriate year or two grind through the checklists so they can properly host a file server and a few tools on some app servers. It’s only right.
They’ve found so much money certainly they can divert it to the grift of a few million necessary for the proper compliance. How can we accept the results if they haven’t completed the same ceremonial rituals the rest of us had to do to embalm our tech with the protections that have proven so apt at preventing anything bad in the past few years.
It’s just common sense.

I've changed my mind on DOGE.
Violating FedRAMP policies is just too much. It doesn’t matter how much waste they uncover - how many billions were funneled into shady programs, foreign influence ops, agenda-driven NGOs, or regimes nobody voted to support.
Seeing them expose all of this while hosting their website on a non-FedRAMP system is a constitutional crisis. This must end.
If waste is to be uncovered, it should go through the proper corrupt, mismanaged institutions - so everyone involved has time to stall, erase traces, and protect themselves from this unjust witch hunt.

A great article about entropy in its many forms through science and the physical world. Fun for cryptographers and scientists and anyone to understand the disorder of the universe and how we can harness it. Fun read:
