Case Study: Secureframe achieves FedRAMP 20x Low authorization with Coalfire

Secureframe achieves FedRAMP 20x Low authorization with Coalfire

Secureframe, an AI-powered compliance automation platform, faced the challenge of pursuing FedRAMP 20x authorization during its pilot phase. The program's requirements were intentionally vague, relying on measurable Key Security Indicators instead of traditional prescriptive controls, and demanded significant custom automation. Secureframe needed a knowledgeable Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) partner like Coalfire to help navigate these unknowns while maintaining rigorous assessment standards.

Coalfire served as the 3PAO, providing crucial guidance by translating abstract requirements into clear, actionable steps and advising on implementation approaches permitted under the 20x pilot's innovative model. As a result, Secureframe successfully achieved FedRAMP 20x Low authorization and advanced to the Moderate pilot. This validated their security capabilities, built trust with federal customers, and strengthened their platform's automation and continuous validation infrastructure, positioning them as a leader in federal compliance innovation.
