FedRAMP Certification Class A
Class A is a FedRAMP 20x certification class described as a pilot. It is not paired with the Rev5 Low/Moderate/High labels. The pinned CR26 KSI catalog does not mark indicators for Class A; applicability stays unmarked until FedRAMP.gov says otherwise.
Educational resource only. scm.cc is not a FedRAMP Recognized Independent Assessor (3PAO) and is not FedRAMP-authorized; it grants no authorization, certification, or assessment outcome. FedRAMP.gov is the authoritative source. This is not legal advice.
Technical detail
Do not assume Class A equals Low. Confirm the current Class A definition on the FedRAMP Certification reference before scoping KSIs or an independent assessment.
How to implement
Use the Class Finder (when it ships) or the public framework quiz as a starting pointer, then verify class choice on FedRAMP.gov. scm.cc does not assign a class.
KSI catalog class markers
No CR26 catalog indicators are marked for Class A. Unmarked is not the same as required or not required.
