FedRAMP, with continuous monitoring built in from day one.
FedRAMP's continuous monitoring requirements ask for exactly what CDK already produces — evidence generated on every change, not assembled for a monthly scan window. The control baseline is the same NIST 800-53 mapping already established; FedRAMP adds the authorization process on top.
Where CDK evidence applies.
FedRAMP is a process built around ongoing evidence, not a one-time review. CDK fits four parts of it directly.
Continuous Monitoring
Monthly and annual monitoring windows become a floor, not a scramble — evidence already exists.
System Security Plan
Evidence that traces directly back to the controls documented in your SSP.
Remediation Tracking
When findings need remediation, evidence of the fix — not just a status update — closes the loop.
Independent Assessment
Give your Third-Party Assessment Organization the same direct evidence access as everyone else.
The same baseline, plus continuous monitoring.
- AC-2
- Account Management. Every approval and deployment is tied to a verified identity.
- CM-3
- Configuration Change Control. Every production change is linked to its approval, policy evaluation, and deployment record.
- AU-2
- Event Logging. Evidence is generated continuously, not reconstructed during the assessment window.
- CA-7
- Continuous Monitoring. FedRAMP's monthly and annual cadence becomes a floor — evidence already exists for every window.
Controls AC-2, CM-3, and AU-2 carry over directly from the NIST 800-53 mapping — FedRAMP doesn't ask for different evidence, only a stricter monitoring cadence around it.
Built for assessment and ongoing ConMon.
The same Audit Workspace lets your Third-Party Assessment Organization review evidence directly — during the initial assessment and every month after.
- Read-only, scoped access for 3PAOs and Authorizing Officials
- Every record independently verifiable, no CDK account required
- Continuous evidence that satisfies monthly ConMon deliverables, not just the annual assessment
- No engineering time spent assembling evidence packets
