FedRAMP 20x Didn't Change Our Vision.
It Ratified It.
The industry is reacting to automation; our platform was built on it. Secure your ATO with the engineering philosophy that drives the new standard.
bladestack.io has been on the front lines of the FedRAMP 20x evolution since its earliest designs. For many, 20x represents a dramatic shift; for us, it is the formal ratification of the absurdly technical engineering philosophy we’ve championed for years.
Our mission has always been to treat compliance not as a task, but as an art built on unassailable technical excellence.
Compliance Is an Art. Become the Architects of FedRAMP 20x.
The new 20x standards don’t just ask for proof; they demand continuous proof—a technical requirement that cripples product teams relying on manual audits. We specialize in engineering the automation-first architecture required to meet this challenge without exhausting your development teams. We don’t produce retrospective compliance reports; we build verifiable security controls directly into your CI/CD pipeline. Our focus is on translating the complexity of Key Security Indicators (KSIs) into efficient, elegant code that generates evidence instantly. This guarantees a clear, accelerated path to authorization, allowing your team to focus on building new features, not compliance paperwork. We make compliance a feature, not a blocker.
FedRAMP 20x Readiness & Roadmap Assessment
Our Readiness Assessment maps your current architecture, tooling, and processes directly against all relevant Key Security Indicators, identifying not just gaps in compliance, but gaps in your ability to generate automated, machine-readable evidence. You'll receive a comprehensive technical roadmap detailing the exact automation workflows, infrastructure changes, and evidence generation pipelines needed to submit a successful 20x package. We don't just tell you what's missing—we show you how to build it.
KSI-Aligned Cloud Architecture Design
The best way to pass FedRAMP 20x isn't to document your way around bad architecture—it's to architect your way out of documentation. We work with your engineering teams to design cloud-native infrastructure that inherently meets KSI requirements: immutable resources, zero-trust networking, least-privilege access, and automated configuration management. When your infrastructure is built for compliance from the ground up, evidence generation becomes simple. When it's retrofitted, it becomes impossible. We ensure you're in the first category.
Trust Repository & Data Schema Development
FedRAMP 20x requires a Trust Repository—a centralized, accessible location where agencies can review your security posture in real-time. Most organizations have no idea where to start. We build yours from the ground up, including the machine-readable data schema that maps your evidence to KSI validations. We provide both the infrastructure (where the evidence lives) and the intelligence layer (how it's organized, accessed, and verified). The result is a Trust Repository that's not just compliant—it's actually useful.
Continuous Evidence Automation Architecture
FedRAMP 20x requires daily validation of security controls through automated, machine-readable evidence. That's not a documentation problem—it's an engineering problem. We design and implement the evidence generation infrastructure that transforms your existing security tools, cloud configurations, and monitoring systems into a continuous compliance engine.
Using our compliance automation platform, we build custom collection pipelines that pull data from your environment, validate it against KSIs, and format it for your Trust Repository—all without manual intervention. This isn't off-the-shelf tooling wrapped in consulting. This is custom architecture that works the way your systems actually work.
bladeRAMP: Managed Compliance as a Service
You build great software. We handle the evidence. bladeRAMP is our fully managed service that stands up and operates your entire FedRAMP 20x compliance infrastructure within your environment. We deploy the monitoring, configure the validation, manage the Trust Repository, and ensure your KSI evidence is continuously generated and always audit-ready. This isn't consulting that leaves you with recommendations—this is a security stack we build, own, and operate. You get continuous compliance without adding headcount.
FedRAMP 20x Training & Enablement
Compliance is now an engineering problem. We provide hands-on, deep-dive training for your engineering, DevOps, and SecOps teams, translating complex FedRAMP 20x Standards (like SCN and CVM) into actionable development tasks and CI/CD policies. We enable your team to own the Veritas Engine and maintain compliance post-authorization.
