FRR & KSI Gap Assessment
We test each Key Security Indicator against the evidence your systems produce today, and tell you what will hold up and what won’t.

What 20x changes
Less narrative. More evidence.
FedRAMP 20x replaces long narrative documents with Key Security Indicators (KSIs) that can be validated by machines, repeatedly. A control you can describe is no longer enough. It has to produce evidence, and keep producing it.
- Before
- Hundreds of pages written once, reviewed once.
- Under 20x
- Indicators tested against live data, again and again.

DetailsHow an engagement runs
Eight steps, played in order. Then again.
FedRAMP 20x asks for validation that runs continuously and shows its evidence. Our engagements are built the same way.
01 / 08
- Step 01
Scope
Agree the system, the boundary and which 20x release we test against.
- Step 02
Inventory
List every component, data flow and evidence source in that boundary.
- Step 03
Map
Map each Key Security Indicator (KSI) to the systems and logs that prove it.
- Step 04
Collect
Pull machine-readable evidence straight from the source, with timestamps.
- Step 05
Validate
Test every KSI against that evidence. Pass or fail, nothing in between.
- Step 06
Report
Show what passed, what failed, the evidence and the date it was tested.
- Step 07
Fix first
Rank the gaps by effort and impact so your team knows where to start.
- Step 08
Repeat
20x is continuous. So is the validation. Run it again, and again.
What you get back
Say exactly what was tested.
Every result names the KSI, the evidence source and the time it was tested. Bad news goes in the first line. The fixes are ranked, so your team knows where to start on Monday.
