Is your program ready for CR26?

FedRAMP's Consolidated Rules for 2026 change how every provider proves its security, whether you are new or already authorized.

1 January 2027New FedRAMP certifications are obtained under CR26.
2 April 2027Rev. 5 providers maintain their authorization under CR26.
Where you start

Every program starts on FedRAMP 20x

We onboard every customer on the 20x track. It is the fastest way to meet the vulnerability rules due on 7 December 2026 and the rest of the immediate CR26 requirements.

Meet Alan

Federal compliance can read like a cipher. Alan helps you read it.

Much like the coded messages of the Enigma machine, federal compliance rules can be hard to decipher. Alan is the AI built into every page of CIPHER GRC. Ask in plain words and get a plain answer, with the rule it came from.

Ask Alan answering a compliance question in CIPHER GRC, shown with sample data

What Alan does

  • Answers compliance questions and cites the rule behind each answer
  • Recommends a risk rating for a finding and explains why
  • Maps your architecture and data flows from what your cloud shows
  • Groups findings that a single fix would clear
  • Reviews evidence and tells you what an assessor is likely to ask

What Alan never does

  • Decide whether a requirement is met: fixed rules do that, the same way every time
  • Approve, accept or submit anything
  • Change a setting in your environment
  • Guess: when the rules do not answer a question, Alan says so

How Alan works

  • Retrieval-grounded answers (RAG): Alan reads FedRAMP's published rules and the CIPHER compliance matrix before he answers
  • Specialist agents for specific jobs, each working from your own records
  • Every proposal is checked by code before you see it
  • You approve, revise, or decline

Where Alan runs

  • Only on AI models approved for FedRAMP and DoD workloads, called from inside a Google Cloud Assured Workloads boundary
  • Never on public AI services, and your data is not used to train models
  • A conversation is kept only if you choose to save it, in your own dedicated instance, encrypted with managed keys
  • Alan sees only what your role is allowed to see

Alan is the name of the AI assistant in CIPHER GRC. It is not intended to represent any specific person, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by any individual, estate or organization.

CIPHER GRC puts the evidence and a clear recommendation in front of you, and you approve, revise, or decline. Alan AI explains and drafts, and when you need more than Alan AI, Traverge FedRAMP subject matter experts are your humans in the loop.

Pilot partner program

Five pilot partners. Special pricing. Direct access to the people who built it.

We are opening CIPHER GRC to five cloud service providers as pilot partners. You get special pricing and a direct line to the team behind the platform, and your program helps shape what we build next.

Questions

What providers ask us first

Is CIPHER GRC itself FedRAMP authorized?

CIPHER GRC is listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace and is working toward FedRAMP Class C Certification, projected for the end of the first quarter of 2027. We run our own program on CIPHER GRC, the same way you will.

Which clouds does it work with?

CIPHER GRC reads your environment with read-only access and works with the major cloud providers. Scan results come in from the scanners you already use, in the formats they produce.

Does Alan make compliance decisions?

No. Alan answers, drafts and recommends. Whether a requirement is met is decided by fixed rules, and every approval is made by a person on your team.

We are already authorized under Rev. 5. Where do we start?

On the 20x track, like every customer. That puts the vulnerability rules due on 7 December 2026 and the other immediate CR26 requirements in place first. Rev. 5 package support is in development and follows the 20x launch.

Is this software only?

No. Every license includes a dedicated Customer Success Analyst and a dedicated Customer Success Engineer from Traverge, alongside the platform and Alan.

Where is our data kept?

In an instance dedicated to your company, encrypted with managed keys. It is not shared with other customers and is not used to train AI models.

Jon Riddle
CEO and Founder, Traverge
Designer of CIPHER GRC

“Federal compliance stifles innovation. A FedRAMP PMO certification only gets your foot in the door. The real challenge is agency authorization, where apprehension creates a costly disconnect. I built CIPHER GRC to bridge that gap so your team can stay focused on innovating market-leading software.”
Jon Riddle, CEO and Founder, Traverge
About

Designed by Jon Riddle, who has worked in FedRAMP since the program began.

CIPHER GRC was not designed by a committee or handed to a product team as a requirements list. Jon designed it from fifteen years of doing the work: as a cloud service provider's program manager on one side of the authorization boundary, and as a FedRAMP Certified Lead Assessor on the other. Every screen answers a problem he has lived.

A CISSP, Jon has led assessments and advisory work for mission-critical systems at DHS/ICE, DoD and US SOCOM, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the FBI, the FAA, the Federal Trade Commission, and NIH.

Before cybersecurity, Jon was a paratrooper and Airborne Infantryman with the 82nd Airborne Division. The same discipline carries into this work: be ready, own the mission, and take care of the people counting on you.
