Navigate FedRAMP 20x with Confidence

As FedRAMP evolves toward a more continuous, evidence-driven certification model, cloud service providers need practical guidance that aligns security, operations, and compliance activities with FedRAMP requirements.

BDO helps organizations prepare for FedRAMP certification by providing advisory services across strategy, readiness, architecture, security documentation, evidence development, and ongoing program support. Our professionals work with cloud service providers to establish scalable compliance practices, build sustainable security processes, and prepare for independent assessment and certification activities.

Whether your organization is evaluating FedRAMP for the first time or adapting to the FedRAMP 20x framework, BDO can help you understand requirements, identify gaps, and develop a practical path forward.

FedRAMP 20x Advisory Services

FedRAMP 20x emphasizes security outcomes, machine-readable evidence, automation, and continuous validation. Organizations pursuing certification must demonstrate not only that controls exist, but that security practices are operating effectively over time.

BDO helps organizations prepare for this evolving model by supporting:

  • FedRAMP strategy and roadmap development
  • Readiness assessments and gap analyses
  • Security architecture reviews
  • FedRAMP scope and boundary definition
  • Security package preparation
  • Security Decision Record development
  • Validation and evidence strategy
  • Control implementation guidance
  • Continuous monitoring program development
  • FedRAMP 20x preparation and transition planning
  • Mock assessments and readiness reviews
  • Remediation planning and program support
