FedRAMP is a government-wide program that standardizes security assessments for cloud services used by U.S. federal agencies. Achieving FedRAMP authorization positions your organization to serve one of the largest cloud buyers in the nation and opens the door to being listed in the FedRAMP Marketplace—where agencies go first for trusted cloud solutions.
FedRAMP 20X: FASTER, SMARTER AUTHORIZATIONS FOR CSPs
Based on feedback that the authorization process is too expensive, time-consuming, and challenging, FedRAMP has initiated an industry-partner driven program called 20X. This new program will be a cloud-native continuous security assessment that seeks to evaluate the outcomes of automated monitoring and enforcement of commercial security best practices to meet the minimum security requirement for federal information systems.
There are several phases to the program buildout and 360 Advanced is closely following the development and achievement of all milestones. We will be ready to guide eligible clients through the FedRAMP 20X authorization process when it fully launches.

TESTIMONIALS
hear from our COMPLIANCE clients
“We have worked with 360 Advanced for over ten years because of the robust nature of what
they offer and the variety of evaluations they can handle for us. They’ve been able to easily
grow with us from six sites to 19 sites to now 64 sites and counting. They have been able to
adapt to our growth in a way that many other firms cannot.”

“I often see companies that have around 100 employees saying they want to go after certain types of compliance but they don’t want to hire a full IT team. That’s where 360 Advanced’s Security managed services programs really shine. They allow small companies to achieve good security and work with a compliance partner that provides a great service and walks you through the whole compliance process.”
