We’re excited to announce that ControlMap, currently SOC 2 audited and ISO 27001 certified annually, has begun the process to expand its security posture to include FedRAMP Moderate equivalency. Over the last quarter, the ScalePad security team has completed its annual audit cycle and conducted an assessment of the NIST 800-53 requirements for FedRAMP Moderate equivalency, including incorporating those requirements into the organization’s policies, procedures, and controls for the following year.
FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program), based on NIST 800-53, is the U.S. government’s standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. This widely recognized framework is designed to ensure that cloud offerings used by government agencies meet these strict security requirements. ControlMap and ScalePad’s goal is to help support partners by meeting one of the most rigorous cybersecurity compliance standards available.
Note: ControlMap already includes the FedRAMP framework within the platform, allowing partners to build and manage assessments aligned with FedRAMP requirements. What’s new is that ControlMap itself is now pursuing FedRAMP Moderate equivalency authorization—a formal designation demonstrating that our own platform meets the security standards required for federal cloud service providers. This adds an extra layer of trust for partners working in regulated industries or supporting clients in the public sector.
Why FedRAMP Matters for MSPs
In the future, it will be easier for our partners to
- Support clients working with federal agencies or defense contractors
Meet emerging requirements like CMMC Level 2
- Expand into markets with strict compliance demands
- Confidently scale compliance offerings
If you’re already managing frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, or HIPAA, you’re ahead of the game—ControlMap’s automated crosswalks and assessment + evidence reuse mean you won’t need to start from scratch. This authorization will help support our partners—especially those working toward CMMC 2.0 or serving clients in government-regulated industries—with an even stronger foundation of security and compliance. ControlMap already supports several NIST frameworks, including NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, FedRAMP, NIST AI, and CMMC 2.0. ControlMap also plans to support the automation requirements for the new emerging assessment process FedRAMP 20x.
What's Next?
The authorization process is underway. We’ll share updates as we hit major milestones, and once FedRAMP is finalized, we’ll make sure our partners can fully take advantage of it.
