FedRAMP 20x Class A Checklist
FedRAMP 20x Class A is the entry point to the federal marketplace, replacing FedRAMP Ready, and providers can qualify with a SOC 2 Type II report, a GovRAMP authorization, or a completed Readiness Assessment Report.
That makes Class A the fastest route to a FedRAMP Marketplace listing for companies with a mature compliance program, but qualifying is only the start: CR26 defines specific rules for entry, application, initial implementation, and the transition toward a full certification.
Every provider-facing rule CR26 applies to Class A appears in this checklist with its official rule text, so you can systematically work through everything a Class A application requires.
What you'll get:
- Confirm your eligibility and work through the entry and application requirements step by step, from qualifying materials to your marketplace listing request
- Check off every mandatory, recommended, and optional CR26 rule for Class A, each with its official rule ID and text
- Plan your transition to Class B or higher, including the 12-month window that starts once a federal customer uses your service
