As a member of Cohort 2, ASSYST is among a select group of 13 cloud service providers chosen to help pioneer a faster, more transparent, and automation-driven path to federal cloud authorization. ASSYST is participating with its ComplySyncATO (https://www.assyst.net/ComplySyncAI) platform, an AI-enabled Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) automation solution purpose-built to support continuous authorization and persistent assessment. The Phase 2 pilot focuses on three key modernization areas:

• Automated Validation – Demonstrating compliance against at least 70% of FedRAMP Key Security Indicators (KSIs) using machine-readable evidence and policy-as-code.
• Persistent Assessment – Shifting from static, point-in-time ATOs to continuous, telemetry-driven security monitoring.
• Modernized Authorization – Streamlining reuse and reciprocity for Moderate-impact cloud services across agencies.

“Selection for the FedRAMP 20x Phase 2 Pilot validates ASSYST’s long-standing investment in Cybersecurity and AI-driven compliance automation and continuous risk management,” said Vijay Narasimhan,  CTO, ASSYST. “With ComplySyncATO, we are helping agencies move beyond document-centric compliance, point-in-time compliance to a real-time, automated and machine-verifiable toward real-time, machine-verifiable security assurance.” he added.

The Phase 2 pilot will conclude around March 31, 2026, informing the broader rollout of the FedRAMP 20x operating model in Phase 3 and accelerating adoption of automated authorization and continuous monitoring across the federal cloud ecosystem.
