Krieger Security helps cloud service providers obtain and maintain FedRAMP Certification. FedRAMP’s Consolidated Rules for 2026 (CR26) took effect July 4, 2026, with mandatory adoption beginning January 1, 2027. CR26 replaces familiar terms and processes: impact levels become Certification Classes, the System Security Plan becomes a Certification Package and Security Decision Record, and continuous monitoring becomes Ongoing Certification. We help your team understand what applies to your offering and build a plan to comply.

FedRAMP 20x is now the primary path to certification. Under it, providers work directly with FedRAMP through Program Certification and demonstrate security through Key Security Indicators and automated validation. Class A, B, and C certifications are available now, and a Class D (High) pilot is planned. The agency-sponsored Rev5 path still exists as a legacy option. FedRAMP will stop accepting new Rev5 certifications on June 11, 2027, and existing Rev5 certifications remain active until at least December 31, 2028. Whether you are starting fresh, finishing an active sponsorship, or transitioning from Rev5, we help you choose the right path and prepare.

• Path selection: FedRAMP 20x Program Certification (Class A, B, or C) or completing an in-progress agency-sponsored Rev5 effort
• Readiness and gap assessments against CR26 requirements and FedRAMP 20x Key Security Indicators
• Certification Package and Security Decision Record development, including machine-readable JSON (or OSCAL where applicable) in place of legacy Word/Excel templates
• Automation planning for continuous evidence and validation
• Rev5-to-CR26 adoption and Rev5-to-20x transition planning
• Ongoing Certification support, including vulnerability detection and response and Accepted Weaknesses management (CR26 replaces POA&Ms with Accepted Weaknesses)
• Coordination with your independent assessor and agency customers
