Recognized FedRAMP Advisor
Verdict Technologies Inc. is listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace as a recognized Advisor, effective .
FedRAMP established the Advisor category under the Consolidated Rules for 2026. It identifies firms that prepare cloud service providers for authorization, distinct from the independent assessors who evaluate those packages. The separation is structural. The party that builds an authorization package cannot be the party that assesses it, and the Marketplace reflects that division directly.
What the work covers
Verdict prepares cloud service providers for FedRAMP certification under the 20x program. Engagements cover:
- Authorization boundary definition
- Gap assessment against Key Security Indicators
- Control documentation
- System Security Plan and POA&M generation
- Evidence organization
- Support through independent assessment
Verdict does not assess, audit, or certify. An agency Authorization to Operate is the decision of that agency’s authorizing official.
When we started building toward federal work, the 20x program was still a pilot and the rules changed every few months. We chose it anyway, because it was the one lane where the requirements were being written in public and nobody had twenty years of tenure defending the old way of doing things.
We are grateful to FedRAMP for building a program that a firm our size could enter on the merits of the work rather than the length of the client list. The Class B and Class C pipelines opened today, and we intend to be useful to the providers going through them.
