FedRAMP 20x is transforming how the U.S. government approves cloud services by emphasizing speed, automation, and continuous security. It eliminates the need for agency sponsorship, swaps out lengthy paperwork for machine-readable data, and automates more than 80% of required controls. As a result, authorization times have dropped from years to just weeks, all without sacrificing security or trust. Federal IT now benefits from quicker access, better risk management, and modern, cloud-native protection as standard practice.
