Today we’re excited to share that Secureframe is now among the first organizations to be FedRAMP® 20x Low Authorized.
FedRAMP is a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud services. The new FedRAMP 20x model is the most significant update to the program since its creation, introducing new control requirements, continuous monitoring expectations, and a faster but still thorough authorization process. Achieving authorization under this new model requires not just meeting rigorous technical standards, but also demonstrating the ability to maintain them in real time.
Our FedRAMP 20x authorization assessment was conducted by Coalfire, a trusted FedRAMP Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) and our strategic partner in accelerating federal compliance readiness.
Earning this authorization so early in the rollout is a both major achievement for our team and a direct benefit to our customers. We now have firsthand experience navigating FedRAMP 20x from start to finish, which means we are uniquely positioned to help our customers prepare, avoid common pitfalls, and achieve authorization faster. Customers preparing for FedRAMP 20x or CMMC 2.0 can now lean on a partner who knows exactly what it takes to get there and how to avoid the delays and missteps that often slow progress.
“Achieving FedRAMP 20x authorization reinforces our position as a leader in federal compliance,” said Shrav Mehta, Founder and CEO at Secureframe. “We are proud to help our customers navigate this complex landscape with greater speed, confidence, and clarity.”
Field-tested expertise you can trust for federal compliance
Our journey to FedRAMP 20x authorization meant putting our entire Secureframe Federal suite to the test. Every feature was refined against real-world requirements, ensuring it delivers results in the highest-stakes compliance environments.
Secureframe Federal is purpose-built for CMMC 2.0 and FedRAMP 20x readiness and designed to reduce the time, cost, and complexity of compliance while maintaining the highest security standards.
- SSP Builder: Auto-generates System Security Plans using pre-configured templates aligned to CMMC and FedRAMP, with real-time updates as your environment changes.
- POA&M Manager: Tracks remediation progress with structured workflows tied directly to your SSP status, helping you stay assessment-ready.
- SPRS Score Generator: Automatically calculates and updates your score based on live control implementation data, supporting competitiveness and readiness for CMMC.
- Federal cloud integrations: Integrations with AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, Microsoft GCC High, Intune GCC High, and other federal environments automatically pull evidence and continuously monitor your security posture.
For customers, these capabilities mean a faster path to authorization, fewer surprises during the process, and greater confidence in maintaining compliance long-term. Early adopters are already seeing results: “Secureframe saved us at least 500 hours over two years as we prepared for CMMC Level 2,” said David Hoenisch, Lead Cybersecurity Engineer at Manufacturing Consulting Concepts. “We did not just get a tool — we got a true partner in compliance.”
