What are FedRAMP continuous monitoring requirements?

More context

Continuous monitoring is not a formality: authorization can be suspended or revoked when deliverables slip or scan findings age past remediation timelines. High findings carry the shortest remediation windows, so providers need scanning that runs continuously rather than a scramble before each monthly submission.

For configuration controls, agencies and assessors expect scans against recognized baselines. CISGuard runs continuous CIS benchmark scans mapped to NIST 800-53 controls, and its on-premises and air-gapped deployment options fit FedRAMP High and classified-adjacent environments where SaaS scanners are not permitted.
