FRC-CSO-POP Pick One Program Certification Type

FedRAMP Consolidated Rules (2026) 2026.10.13.01 against 2026.10.08.01
All changes in this version
unchanged FRC: FedRAMP Certification

Title

Pick One Program Certification Type

Control

Providers MUST NOT seek both FedRAMP Rev5 Program Certification and FedRAMP 20x Program Certification for the same cloud service offering; pick one type.

Discussion

This rule does not prevent a provider from seeking and maintaining a FedRAMP Rev5 Agency Certification and a FedRAMP 20x Program Certification for the same cloud service offering, however, doing so is strongly discouraged due to the increased complexity and risk of confusion for all parties.
