Traditional Rev. 5
Manual package development
- Heavier written narratives and static package artifacts
- Longer preparation and review cycles
- Established route for most providers today
- Well understood, but still documentation-heavy
§ FedRAMP 20x
Get ahead of the new FedRAMP path without betting everything on a pilot.
FedRAMP 20x is active, but the Moderate path is still in pilot. SentrIQ helps teams build the structured evidence and documentation habits that position them for 20x while still supporting the current Rev. 5 path.
§ What it is right now
A faster path. Still being tested.
FedRAMP 20x is FedRAMP's cloud-native modernization effort. It is being delivered in phases, and the current Moderate work is happening through a limited Phase 2 pilot.
That matters because the direction is real, but the pilot is still small-scale and the requirements can still change. Teams need a foundation that works now without forcing a rebuild later.
FedRAMP 20x
Machine-readable authorization data
- Delivered in phases through active pilots
- Greater emphasis on structured, reusable data
- Designed for more automation and faster validation
- Requirements can change while the pilot matures
§ How SentrIQ prepares you
Build one evidence foundation that stays useful either way.
The point is not to build two separate compliance programs. It is to build a cleaner evidence and documentation system now, then stay flexible as 20x becomes more formal.
Structure evidence early
SentrIQ helps teams organize technical and policy evidence in a way that is easier to validate, reuse, and trace back to the system instead of leaving it trapped in disconnected files and screenshots.
Keep documentation tied to reality
The better the package reflects what the environment actually does, the easier it is to support either the current Rev. 5 path or future 20x-style validation without rewriting the system story from scratch.
Stay flexible as the pilot changes
Because 20x is still being tested, the exact requirements will keep moving. A clean evidence model and a disciplined documentation workflow make those changes easier to absorb.
Use the current path without painting yourself into a corner
Most teams still need the existing FedRAMP route today. SentrIQ helps you support that work now while building habits that are closer to where FedRAMP is heading.
§ FedRAMP 20x FAQ
Common questions about FedRAMP 20x.
Yes, but it is still in pilot. FedRAMP 20x is currently in Phase 2, and the Moderate work is being tested through a limited pilot rather than a broad public rollout.
Participation in the Phase 2 pilot is limited and not open to the public, and FedRAMP says the requirements can change during the pilot.
