Fortreum XRAMP™ earns top honors for replacing point-in-time audits with continuous, year-round validation across federal frameworks
LANSDOWNE, Va., July 09, 2026–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fortreum has won Best Compliance Program Management Platform in the 2026 Cybersecurity Stars Awards, the recognition program from The Hacker News, which is ranked the world’s top cybersecurity publication. The award honors Fortreum’s XRAMP™ Continuous Compliance Validation Platform, the system that carries regulated organizations through the compliance lifecycle, from readiness to formal assessment to continuous monitoring
“Congratulations to Fortreum on winning the Compliance Program Management award in the 2026 Cybersecurity Stars Awards,” said The Hacker News Awards Committee. “Fortreum helps federal contractors and regulated organizations manage overlapping compliance frameworks such as FedRAMP and CMMC by collecting evidence once and mapping it to multiple standards. We recognize their work bringing practical expertise from the programs they assess into tools that serve the organizations managing them.”
XRAMP runs continuous monitoring as a managed program that ensures a company’s compliance posture is always up to date, so when the formal assessment cycle arrives, the XRAMP program will have maintained evidence, resolved findings, tracked posture, and, in effect, already built a company’s assessment package. It does not replace the environment build or the independent C3PAO assessment — it makes companies ready for them faster
XRAMP is a critical component of Fortreum’s comprehensive compliance automation platform. Complimentary components within the Kovr portfolio streamline what used to take months of evidence collection and control mapping into a single, coordinated effort spanning federal cloud authorization, defense contractor certification, state and local government requirements and broader cybersecurity risk frameworks by compressing scoping, gap analysis, documentation, evidence, and continuous-monitoring work, making the path to certification up to 75% faster while reducing costs by up to 90%.
“Software can help you prepare for an audit, but it can’t sign off on one,” said Fortreum co-founder and CEO James Leach. “Fortreum is the only provider that brings together an AI-native compliance platform, an in-house C3PAO and a FedRAMP-authorized environment for handling sensitive client data. Our platform delivers services for clients across compliance readiness and evidence generation to formal assessment and continuous monitoring in one trusted place.”
