What is FedRAMP 20x?

FedRAMP 20x is the modernized Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program framework that introduces Key Security Indicators (KSIs) as a streamlined approach to cloud security assessment. This MCP server indexes the official FedRAMP documentation and provides programmatic access to:

  • Key Security Indicators (KSI) - 80+ security requirements organized by theme
  • NIST Control Mappings - How FedRAMP requirements map to NIST SP 800-53
  • Compliance Documentation - Official guidance, definitions, and procedures
  • Version Tracking - Monitor changes across FRMR document versions
