Official recognition requires A2LA (REC-IAS-ACC)

Becoming a FedRAMP Recognized Independent Assessor is an organizational accreditation path. The Recognition rules require A2LA Cybersecurity Inspection Body accreditation (REC-IAS-ACC). A training course cannot substitute for that.

Educational resource only. scm.cc is not a FedRAMP Recognized Independent Assessor (3PAO) and is not FedRAMP-authorized; it grants no authorization, certification, or assessment outcome. FedRAMP.gov is the authoritative source. This is not legal advice.

This is scm.cc skills training. Completing a course or receiving an scm.cc training certificate does not make you a FedRAMP Recognized Independent Assessor, is not a FedRAMP credential, and is not government recognition. Official recognition requires A2LA accreditation (REC-IAS-ACC) and FedRAMP Recognition. FedRAMP.gov is the authoritative source. This is not legal advice.
