Flock Safety's Fast FedRAMP 20x Authorization with Paramify & Moss Adams/Baker Tilly

Flock Safety opened doors to federal contracts by achieving one of the first FedRAMP 20x Low authorizations. Leveraging Paramify for automation and Moss Adams/Baker Tilly as their 3PAO, they adapted to required Key Security Indicators and prepared evidence in just two weeks, becoming the first non-GRC tool to earn this authorization through 20x.

The FedRAMP 20x pilot offered Flock Safety a faster, more efficient route to FedRAMP authorization and listing on the FedRAMP marketplace without having a sponsor. Their team achieved one of the first FedRAMP 20x Low authorizations by using Paramify for automation and Moss Adams/Baker Tilly as their 3PAO.

Improving Security With Flock Safety

Flock Safety's goal is to help solve and eliminate crime. Their platform uses AI for vehicle identification and crime-solving, serving state and local agencies with secure, scalable cloud solutions.

To help federal agencies, Flock Safety would need FedRAMP authorization. But, doing the FedRAMP process without a sponsor lined up is risky — it requires a lot of time and money without the promise of authorization.

The FedRAMP 20x pilot created a new path for Flock Safety to get authorized and open doors to government contracts.

A Tight Deadline and a New Process

Flock Safety would need to meet a nearly impossible timeline to submit a package to the FedRAMP 20x pilot.

They were working toward GovRAMP and Rev 5, so they’d have to pivot to 20x in weeks to take part in the pilot. Which required they:

Adapt to 50+ Key Security Indicators (KSIs) that emphasize demonstrable security over the prescriptive controls in Rev 5.
Produce evidence they’ve met these requirements
Create machine-readable reporting
Implement continuous validation to continually assess these KSIs going forward.

Finally, Flock Safety would need the help of a 3PAO to audit their KSI implementations, evidence, and methods of continuous validation.

First to 20x Authorization with Paramify and Moss Adams/Baker Tilly

Flock Safety was already using Paramify to reach their compliance goals. When the pilot was announced, Flock asked if Paramify could quickly flip the platform to handle KSIs and machine-readable reports.

The answer? Let’s do it.

‍

The Pilot opened May 30th. Using Paramify to map KSIs and tap into their existing tools like Wiz and Splunk, a small Flock Safety team was able to prepare their evidence in just 2 weeks.

With their package ready, Flock Safety needed a 3PAO audit. Moss Adams/Baker Tilly is known for working with some of the world’s most innovative companies. They took on the challenging timeline and new 20x process, balancing rigor with the flexibility of FedRAMP 20x — even as requirements evolved during the process.

With a great team, the right tools, and a flexible 3PAO, Flock Safety had their full package with machine-readable reporting ready to go.

On July 15, 2025, Flock Safety was the 1st non-GRC tool to achieve FedRAMP Authorization through 20x and one of the first 4 businesses to be authorized with 20x.
