FedRAMP 20x and FedRAMP Rev 5 rest on the same NIST controls. Pick your baseline. See which of your controls already feed a 20x indicator, and what is new.
Your baseline
Pick the FedRAMP Rev 5 baseline you work to. The numbers below change when you pick.
Showing the Moderate baseline.
FedRAMP's 20x pilots covered the Low and Moderate levels. FedRAMP also sorts offerings into four classes, A to D. Both are on fedramp.gov.
What carries
The ten themes
FedRAMP groups its 46 indicators into ten themes. Each indicator points to NIST controls. Open a theme to see every control, with its official NIST title.
- in your baseline
- not in your baseline
- no control listed
In each row, Full means fully backed. Part means partly backed. None means none of its controls are in your baseline. No control means FedRAMP lists none.

One control, two rule books
A 20x indicator points to a list of NIST controls. Your Rev 5 package already wrote those controls up. So the move starts from work you already did.
GS|ATO™ keeps one control catalog. Your statements attach to controls. The indicators read them from the other side.
What 20x asks that Rev 5 did not
The controls stay the same. The way you show them changes. Here is what is new, with the FedRAMP rule for each.
- You share your data as JSON files. They follow a format FedRAMP gives you, so a computer can read them.FedRAMP rule FRC-CSO-JSNFedRAMP JSON Schemas
- You stay certified by reporting as you go. Reviews each quarter are part of that.FedRAMP rule CCM-OCR-AVLReport AvailabilityFedRAMP rule CCM-QTR-MTGQuarterly Review Meeting
- You send a notice about a big change. You tell the people who need to know.FedRAMP rule SCN-ADP-NTFNotification Requirements
- You look for vulnerabilities all the time. You track each one and deal with it.FedRAMP rule VDR-CSO-DETVulnerability DetectionFedRAMP rule VDR-CSO-RESVulnerability Response
- You write a short summary for each indicator. Automated checks keep verifying them, as your class asks.FedRAMP rule SDR-CSX-KSIKey Security IndicatorsFedRAMP rule FRC-CSX-VVKAutomated Verification and Validation of Key Security Indicators
How ATO moves you
- You hand us your Rev 5 package.
- It loads onto the same control catalog.
- The product's 20x readiness page shows what carries and what is new.
- We write the new parts and back each one with evidence.
- You get your package in a form a computer can read, plus the ongoing checks.
The product labels its 20x view as decision support. It is not an authorization.
Checks run on a schedule against your statements and evidence. Live pulls from your scanners and cloud accounts are turned on per client.
Dates to know

- December 31, 2028Existing Rev 5 certifications stay active until at least this day. FedRAMP could be directed to change that.Source: fedramp.gov

Where the numbers come from
The baselines are the FedRAMP Rev 5 baselines: 156 controls at Low, 323 at Moderate, 410 at High. They come from FedRAMP's baseline workbook.
The indicators, and the controls each one points to, come from FedRAMP's Consolidated Rules for 2026. They list 46 indicators in ten themes. That is 373 links to 209 different controls.
Control names are the official NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 titles.
We match control ids exactly. IA-2(1) counts as in your baseline only if IA-2(1) itself is in it. We never guess from a control to its enhancements, or back.
FedRAMP lists no control for these indicators: KSI-CNA-OFA and KSI-PIY-RES. We say so, and we do not count them as covered.
The notes about the 20x pilots, the four classes and the High pilot come from FedRAMP's 20x page.
The files behind this page:
- NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 catalog (OSCAL), release 5.2.0
