Automation and OSCAL – The FedRAMP 20x Compliance Accelerator
FedRAMP OSCAL automation is the cornerstone of the new 20x compliance framework, replacing manual documentation with machine-readable, real-time validation and revolutionizing the authorization process by leveraging technology to eliminate manual processes and significantly accelerate compliance timelines. The Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL) is central to this shift, a standardized, machine-readable format for security controls, system security plans, and assessment results.
Accelerating Compliance with OSCAL
OSCAL transforms compliance documentation into an agile, continuous process. Rather than manually preparing extensive reports and undergoing time-consuming reviews, CSPs can now automate the generation and updating of security documentation, drastically reducing effort and eliminating human errors. This automation aligns perfectly with FedRAMP’s goals of continuous assessment and real-time compliance verification.
“ATO as Code” – The New Compliance Standard
Think of OSCAL as enabling “ATO as Code.” Your compliance artifacts become dynamic documents maintained in structured, machine-readable formats like YAML or JSON. These can be automatically validated, continuously updated, and seamlessly integrated into your development pipelines. Compliance thus keeps pace with your system updates, patches, and security enhancements without delays or manual intervention, allowing you to deploy and innovate faster.
Business Benefits of Automation
Automation via OSCAL delivers significant business advantages. It sharply reduces the time, cost, and resources required to achieve and maintain FedRAMP 20x compliance. By streamlining these processes, your organization can allocate more resources towards innovation, product enhancement, and customer-focused initiatives. The predictable, repeatable nature of automated compliance also greatly diminishes risks and unforeseen complications that traditionally arise late in the authorization process.
