The shift

What CR26 actually changes

Old model

Static SSP, annual assessment, narrative controls.

New model (CR26)

Machine-readable Security Decision Record, ongoing certification reporting, Key Security Indicators validated continuously.

The catch

Every current Rev 5 authorization must adopt the new rules by January 1, 2027 — or risk lapsing.

VDR/VER grace period ends

Need: your team

Unlike the other 10 deliverables, there's no "Paramify handles it" column for the grace-period deadline — this is on your team's calendar regardless. Everything upstream of it is where automation buys you the most time back.

3PAO

Your 3PAO still performs the Annual Independent Assessment (IVV-CSXAIA) — Paramify prepares everything they need to do it fast, and keeps the other 10 deliverables current in between assessments.

How it works

From narrative SSP to continuous validation, without adding headcount

01

Living gap assessment

See exactly where you stand against CR26's Rev 5 and 20x requirements in one dashboard — no spreadsheet reconciliation.

02

Automated CR26 deliverables

SDR, OCR, MAS, KSI evidence, and the rest generate directly from your existing security data — in OSCAL, machine-readable format the FedRAMP PMO expects.

03

Continuous KSI/VDR/VER validation

Vulnerability detection and evaluation run continuously instead of point-in-time, so evidence is always audit-ready — not assembled the week before assessment.

Compliance documentation that used to take 3–24 months, delivered in days.
Differentiation

Why teams choose Paramify for this

Built for CR26 on day one

Not a Rev 5 tool bolted onto 20x after the fact.

OSCAL-native

Output is already in the format FedRAMP's automation expects, so nothing gets re-keyed by hand.

One system for the whole lifecycle

The same platform that generates your SDR keeps your KSIs and VDR/VER current after certification, instead of going stale until next year's audit.

Jan 1, 2027

Don't lose your Rev 5 certification on Jan 1, 2027.

Adoption is not optional, and the deliverables take longer to assemble by hand than the calendar allows. Thirty minutes now is the cheapest version of this project.

FAQ

Questions we get about CR26

What is CR26?+

FedRAMP's Consolidated Rules for 2026 — a single ruleset unifying legacy Rev 5 requirements with the finalized FedRAMP 20x baselines.

Do I have to do anything if I'm already Rev 5 authorized?+

Yes — every existing Rev 5 CSO must adopt CR26 by January 1, 2027, which means producing the 11 deliverables above.

Does Paramify replace my 3PAO?+

No — your 3PAO still performs the Annual Independent Assessment. Paramify prepares and maintains everything else, so the assessment is quick and painless. Best part: your assessor can use Paramify to conduct your audit.

What happens if I miss the January 1 deadline?+

Your FedRAMP ATO is at risk — which means no more government contracts until it's resolved.
