Manage your FedRAMP program in one place.
410 Rev 5 controls, NIST 800-53 baselines, continuous monitoring and the artefacts your 3PAO will ask for.
FedRAMP is a programme, not a project
Pursuing a FedRAMP authorisation means standing up hundreds of controls, documenting every one of them in a System Security Plan, carrying a POA&M for everything not yet met, and then proving on a continuous basis that none of it has drifted.
The documentation burden is the part that surprises people. It is not the security work; it is keeping the SSP, the POA&M and the evidence coherent across a multi-year effort involving a 3PAO, an agency sponsor and your own engineering team.
OpenGRC includes the FedRAMP Rev 5 bundle — 410 controls — alongside NIST 800-53 at Low, Moderate and High baselines, at no extra cost on any plan.
The documentation, handled.
A System Security Plan that stays true
Generate the SSP as a PDF from your live control implementations. When an implementation changes, the next export reflects it, rather than diverging from reality until someone rewrites the document.
POA&M with real owners and dates
Every open control becomes a remediation project with auto-coded tasks, milestones and owners. Findings raised during assessment flow straight in, and the POA&M exports on demand.
Continuous monitoring built in
Set an assessment cadence per control, automate the recurring reviews, and let workflow rules chase what is overdue — so ConMon is a rhythm rather than an annual scramble.
How OpenGRC supports a FedRAMP program
| What the program requires | In OpenGRC |
|---|---|
| Implement the Rev 5 control baseline | FedRAMP Rev 5 bundle (410 controls) plus NIST 800-53 Low, Moderate and High |
| System Security Plan | One-click SSP export as PDF, generated from live implementations |
| Plan of Action & Milestones | Remediation projects with auto-coded tasks, milestones, Kanban and POA&M report PDF |
| Control implementation detail and test procedures | Implementation tracking with maturity, test procedures, critical-control flagging and internal notes |
| Evidence collection and assessor requests | Audit management with evidence data requests, IRL CSV import and queued evidence ZIP export |
| 3PAO assessment | External auditor portal — MFA, time-bounded and revocable access, IP allow-listing, immutable versioned submissions, workpaper bundles |
| Continuous monitoring | Per-control assessment cadence, recurring assessments and workflow automation for overdue reviews |
| Incident reporting | Incident response with playbooks, forensic evidence with SHA-256 chain of custody, timeline and notification deadline tracking |
| Supply chain and subservice organisations | Vendor management with risk scoring, questionnaires and compliance document expiry tracking |
FedRAMP questions
Is OpenGRC itself FedRAMP authorized?
No, and we will not imply otherwise. OpenGRC is a GRC platform you use to manage your own FedRAMP program — the controls, implementations, evidence, SSP, POA&M and continuous monitoring. It is not itself a FedRAMP authorized service, and you should factor that into where you run it and what you put in it.
