A German researcher captured the contents of the White House’s “DEI.gov” during a brief period when it was not password protected.

The capture shows that the site contains a list of vague, alleged government-funded tasks and their costs, without sources or context, like “$1.3 million to Arab and Jewish photographers," “$1.5 million for ‘art for inclusion of people with disabilities,’” and "$3.4 million for Malaysian drug-fueled gay sex app.”

Bright side, maybe fedramp goes away...

haha, that would honestly be hilarious for a whole slew of personal reasons.

Honestly, FedRAMP's not a bad idea, it's just badly implemented. The JAB route is basically pie-in-the-sky unobtainable without a congressperson pulling strings for you or previous multi-agency contracts, and lots of agency sponsorships are basically just doing the pre-FR dance anyways.
