FedRAMP 20X Phase Two: How InfusionPoints Is Meeting the Moment

blogs / September 30, 2025

The federal government has taken another decisive step toward modernizing cloud authorization with the launch of FedRAMP 20X Phase Two. This initiative builds on the lessons of Phase One and pushes for a cloud-native, public-facing, open-standards approach to security and compliance.

For agencies, cloud service providers (CSPs), and the partners that support them, this is more than just a policy update, it’s a transformation in how government IT will be secured, verified, and trusted.

At InfusionPoints, we see this as an opportunity to double down on our mission: infusing security into every business solution to protect the many. Our platforms, built from the ground up for federal missions, are uniquely aligned to meet and accelerate the requirements of FedRAMP 20X Phase Two.

Why FedRAMP 20X Phase Two Matters

Phase One proved that the government can streamline authorizations by embracing automation, reusable artifacts, and transparent processes. Phase Two takes that further by requiring solutions that are:

Cloud-native and modular
Transparent and open-standards driven
Continuously monitored and automated
Reusable across agencies and systems

In short, the goal is to create machine-verifiable trust at scale, cutting down on redundant reviews, shrinking timelines, and ensuring agencies can adopt innovative technologies faster.

How InfusionPoints Delivers on Phase Two

We designed our solutions long before “20X” was a term in the FedRAMP playbook. That’s why Phase Two feels less like a disruption and more like validation of our approach.

Here’s how we align:

20X Phase Two Requirement	InfusionPoints XBU40 landing zone
Cloud-native architecture	XBU40 is an opinionated landing zone runs on AWS GovCloud with microservices, hardened baselines, and modular components that scale securely.
Open standards & transparency	XBU40’s Command Center + AuditShield services leverage open APIs, JSON-based evidence models, and machine-readable compliance artifacts designed for reuse.
Continuous monitoring & automation	XBU40’s AuditShield service delivers near-real-time dashboards with green/yellow/red indicators, automated vulnerability checks, and self-healing responses.
Modular authorization components	XBU40’s identity, logging, encryption, and monitoring are built as reusable services, accelerating agency adoption and reducing redundant assessments.
Secure-by-design & Zero Trust	XBU40 Defense Layers -from boundary defense to workload identity --follows least privilege, encryption in transit and at rest, and zero trust segmentation.
DevSecOps integration	XBU40 Security controls- are enforced in the CI/CD pipeline: static and dynamic scanning, automated compliance gating, and container runtime enforcement.
Public-facing artifacts & governance	XBU40 Vault service - Is an industry-standardized Trust Center where Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) can provide real-time, machine-readable security information to FedRAMP and federal agency customers for continuous assessment and authorization.

What This Means for Agencies and CSPs

For government mission owners and CSP partners, the impact is real:

Faster Time to ATO – By reusing artifacts and leveraging automated evidence collection, we cut months off authorization timelines.
Predictable Compliance – Dashboards and machine-readable KSIs give auditors, agencies, and partners a consistent view of risk.
Innovation at Scale – Modular, reusable components enable more agencies to adopt new solutions without starting from scratch.

Our Commitment

FedRAMP 20X Phase Two isn’t just about compliance, it’s about trust. And trust is something we’ve built over nearly two decades of helping agencies and CSPs build, manage, and defend their cloud solutions.

As we move forward, InfusionPoints will continue to partner with agencies, the FedRAMP PMO, and the wider GovCloud community to ensure that compliance doesn’t slow down innovation it accelerates it.

Because for us, it’s simple: Mission-ready results are non-negotiable.

Let’s talk. If your organization is preparing for FedRAMP 20X Phase Two, we’d love to show you how InfusionPoints can help you get there faster, with more confidence, and at lower cost.
