FAQ
FedRAMP grants Certifications at Class A, B, C, or D, with each class representing a progressively greater assurance commitment to agency customers. FedRAMP recommends most commercial cloud providers start at Class A — designed for products that already hold a SOC 2 Type II and a mature security program — unless an existing agency customer requires a higher class. Classes loosely align with agency impact levels (Class B certifications support most Low-impact use cases; Class C supports most Low and Moderate), but they are not the same thing: your agency customers categorize their systems, and you choose the class that gives them the assurance they need. Start with the lowest class that fits your customers' requirements and step up as demand justifies the investment.
Under FedRAMP's 2026 Consolidated Rules, your Certification Package includes a Certification Package Overview, a Security Decision Record (SDR) documenting your control or KSI implementation decisions, and an Ongoing Certification Report. Providers also supply machine-readable information conforming to FedRAMP's published JSON schemas, and FedRAMP produces a FedRAMP Certification Report documenting assessment results. Vanta centralizes the evidence, mappings, and documentation behind these deliverables so your package stays current as your environment changes.
Costs typically include compliance engineering, documentation preparation, advisory services, independent assessments, and ongoing certification activities including continuous monitoring. Overspend most often comes from manual evidence collection and rework. Vanta reduces the lift with pre-built templates, automated evidence collection, and assessor collaboration.
FedRAMP covers federal agencies; GovRAMP serves state/local. They’re separate programs and certifications. FedRAMP can accelerate GovRAMP readiness through overlap, but reciprocity isn’t guaranteed. We recommend confirming with state buyers.
FedRAMP 20x is the modern FedRAMP Certification Type, assessed against measurable Key Security Indicators (KSIs) rather than a documented control baseline. Certifications are granted directly by FedRAMP at Class A, B, C, or D — no agency sponsor required — and new Rev5 certifications end in June 2027, making 20x the path forward for most new entrants.
