An independent assessment service that performs such work must annually report to GSA about any foreign interest in, influence of, or control of its service. The Government Accountability Office must publish a report that, among other requirements, includes an assessment of the costs incurred by agencies and cloud service providers related to the issuance of FedRAMP authorizations.
