RegScale Collaborates with Microsoft to Support Accelerated FedRAMP Readiness

RegScale, the AI-powered continuous controls monitoring (CCM) platform, today announced it is collaborating with Microsoft to help customers pursue FedRAMP readiness and authorization to operate (ATO) efforts on Microsoft Azure. RegScale customers will benefit from Microsoft Azure’s FedRAMP-authorized secure cloud environment complemented by RegScale’s compliance automation and continuous controls monitoring platform. 

Achieving FedRAMP has long been one of the most time-consuming and resource-intensive milestones for any CSP selling to the U.S. federal government, often taking a minimum of 18 months. This collaboration pairs the scale of Microsoft with RegScale’s compliance-as-code native platform to help software providers realize a faster, clearer route to certification, regardless of where they are in their compliance journey.

The partnership also aligns with FedRAMP 20x, the initiative that moves security assurance away from point-in-time paperwork toward continuous, automated validation. Its core principles of transparency, flexibility, accountability, accuracy, and automatic validation map directly to how RegScale operates: continuously validating controls and reporting on them in real time rather than staging evidence for an audit.

RegScale supports the customer-owned compliance automation and continuous controls monitoring path by automating evidence collection, continuously validating controls against FedRAMP’s Key Security Indicators (KSIs) and through RegScale’s RegML AI agents, and turns FedRAMP certification from a periodic project into a continuous capability.

RegScale builds on a proven federal track record: the company achieved FedRAMP High in just six months using its own platform, a fraction of the typical 18-month minimum timeline. That combination of credibility and automation enables RegScale to serve as an important compliance automation path for industry customers seeking to achieve their own FedRAMP certification.

Looking ahead, the collaboration lays the groundwork for RegScale’s expanding role in the federal ecosystem, including forthcoming capabilities to help agencies consume continuous monitoring data directly from their cloud service providers.
