FedRAMP infrastructure controls with Terraform

FedRAMP expects consistent, evidenced cloud configuration. Encode baselines in Terraform, scan continuously, and keep apply logs as change evidence.

Why IaC matters for FedRAMP-style programs

Manual console changes create undocumented drift. Terraform makes encryption, logging, network isolation, and identity baselines reviewable — and redeployable after an audit finding.

Operating model

  • Inventory live AWS / Azure / GCP resources
  • Map findings to FedRAMP-oriented control families
  • Remediate via Terraform modules, not one-off clicks
  • Re-scan and retain deployment logs as evidence

How Orbour helps

Orbour connects multi-cloud scanning, framework audits, and Terraform apply so control gaps become closed infrastructure. See cloud compliance.
