FedRAMP 20x Automation, Evidence and Independent Assessments
FedRAMP 20x changes how cloud service providers document, measure, and demonstrate security. Its emphasis is on measurable outcomes, current evidence, persistent verification and validation, and machine-readable certification information.
Automation can make evidence more timely and repeatable, but it does not replace governance, risk decisions, human oversight, or independent assessment. Providers remain responsible for explaining their security measures and demonstrating that those measures work as intended.
