Federal cyber experts called Microsoft's cloud a "pile of shit," approved it anyway

Federal cybersecurity evaluators expressed serious concerns about Microsoft's cloud computing offering due to a lack of detailed security documentation and an inability to explain how sensitive information is protected. Despite these issues, the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) approved Microsoft's Government Community Cloud High, granting it a cybersecurity seal of approval. This decision, although unusual, allowed Microsoft to expand its government business empire, despite lingering doubts about the technology's security.
