Keep the authorization you already won
Class C / Moderate packages must follow the 2026 Consolidated Rules to stay certified. Mandatory adoption starts January 1, 2027. Trust Center sharing is required by August 1, 2027.
For SaaS cloud providers
Trust Center for FedRAMP 20x
Compile the certification package you already maintain into a gated, machine-readable Trust Center. Agencies and your 3PAO get controlled access. You stop emailing binders.
Under FedRAMP 20x, the Trust Center is the living source of certification data: program-specified JSON and human-readable files, programmatic access, an agency inventory, and six months of access logs. We build that system against the current Certification Data Sharing rules, on AWS, in a fixed-scope engagement. You remain accountable for the package. We do not apply on your behalf.
Next Development Studio is not a FedRAMP-certified cloud service and is not a FedRAMP-approved partner portal. We build the Trust Center your offering needs.
Who this is for
SaaS companies that already hold a Rev5 authorization, or are opening a 20x Class A, B, or C application, and need the package to live where agencies can actually use it.
Apply with a living package
Class A is open. The Class B and C pipeline opens August 31, 2026. The application wants a current Security Decision Record and valid program JSON, not a ZIP of last year’s SSP.
Give assessors one review surface
Assessors have to test whether measures work. They get schema-valid packages, semantic diffs, and provenance back to source evidence — not a folder of emailed PDFs.
What we deliver
A compiler and a publish target. Evidence you already collect becomes a FedRAMP-compatible Trust Center with Certification Data Sharing workflows. You keep the source. You can export and leave.

Pilot
8 weeks
One authorized cloud service offering. Inventory, compile, Trust Center, readiness memo.

Pilots are scoped as a one-off. Talk to us for the number.
Build
Compiler + Trust Center

- CLI and GitHub Action
- Human site and machine-readable API stay in sync

For providers who will publish every quarter, not once.
Not included
We do not
Apply on your behalf, promise a certificate, write the 3PAO report, or replace your GRC suite.
- No “we get you authorized” promise
- No implied FedRAMP endorsement
- You remain accountable for package accuracy
That is a FedRAMP rule, not a preference.
Dates that matter
From the official FedRAMP 2026 timeline. Rule-specific dates still apply inside this window.
- August 31, 2026 — 20x Class B and C application pipeline opens.
- January 1, 2027 — Consolidated Rules become mandatory to maintain certification.
- June 11, 2027 — no new Rev5 certification applications.
- August 1, 2027 — compatible Trust Center required for package sharing; legacy High repos move.

FAQ
Is this a SOC 2 trust page?
No. Generic badge pages do not satisfy FedRAMP Certification Data Sharing. This is a FedRAMP-compatible Trust Center — the package repository plus API — not a FedRAMP-approved or official partner portal.
Do you become our ISSO?
No. You stay accountable. We do not apply on your behalf. We build deterministic tooling and a publish path.
Do we own the code?
Yes. Full GitHub repository ownership on delivery, same as every Next Development Studio engagement.
What if we already use Vanta or Paramify?
Then the question is whether their Trust Center already meets Certification Data Sharing. If it does, you may not need us. If it does not, we compile and publish beside them.
Can this cover products outside the authorization boundary?
No. Only the offering inside the FedRAMP authorization boundary is in scope. Adjacent commercial products stay out of the package.
