FAQ
FedRAMP impact levels are based on FIPS 199: Standards for Security Categorization of Federal Information and Information Systems. In practice, LI-SaaS and Low apply to public or non-sensitive data, Moderate is Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), and High covers highly sensitive data (e.g., law enforcement, health records). Work with your customers to ensure you are meeting their sensitivity requirements.
Expect System Security Plan (SSP), Security Assessment Plan/Report (SAP/SAR), Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M), and the Pre-ATO Readiness Assessment Report (RAR), if required. FedRAMP 20x, requires a machine-readable KSI package with 3PAO attestation. Vanta simplifies this by centralizing evidence, mapping controls, guiding SSP drafting, and assembling 3PAO-ready packages.
Costs typically include compliance engineering, documentation prep, advisory services, 3PAO assessments, and continuous monitoring (ConMon). Overspend often comes from manual evidence and rework. Vanta reduces lift via pre-built templates, guided SSP prep, and auditor collaboration.
FedRAMP covers federal agencies; GovRAMP serves state/local. They’re separate programs and authorizations. FedRAMP can accelerate GovRAMP readiness through overlap, but reciprocity isn’t guaranteed. We recommend confirming with state buyers.
FedRAMP 20x is a pilot program that streamlines the path to FedRAMP Low and Moderate by using Key Security Indicators (KSIs) and machine-readable evidence. Unlike the traditional process, no agency sponsor is required.
