FedRAMP, the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, certifies cloud services for use by US federal agencies. The General Services Administration runs it. The Consolidated Rules for 2026 took effect on July 4, 2026. They renamed “FedRAMP Authorization” to “FedRAMP Certification” and replaced the Low, Moderate and High impact levels with Certification Classes A to D. The class mapping and the product counts have their own guide.
On November 12, 2026 the FedRAMP Marketplace listed 792 products, and 557 of them were certified. Rev5, the older assessment route, stops accepting new certification applications on June 11, 2027. FedRAMP 20x is the route that replaces it, and the 20x count by class shows who holds each one. The authorization guide times each route on the Marketplace record: a median of 11.2 months through an agency sponsor and 2.2 months under 20x.
Who needs FedRAMP
A cloud service sold to a federal agency needs a FedRAMP Certification. Defense contractors meet the program from the other side: DFARS 252.204-7012 requires an external cloud provider that holds covered defense information to meet security requirements equivalent to the FedRAMP Moderate baseline. That is why CMMC scoping for Level 2 keeps asking which cloud services hold a certification.
Which platforms cover FedRAMP
Three of the seven platforms rated on The Audit Trail list FedRAMP in their framework coverage: Vanta ranks second overall at 82, Drata third at 76 and Secureframe fourth at 75. The Marketplace lists Vanta in Class B and Class C, Secureframe in Class C and Drata in Class B. The other four platforms get no framework coverage credit for FedRAMP.
