@ProPublica FedRAMP does not technically require workers on US Federal projects to be US Persons (citizens or residents), but if they aren't a US Person it means they can't touch basically any meaningful data. Being a citizen (but not necessarily within US borders) is required for most data types, and for certain agencies it requires being a US Citizen specifically within the US.
