FedRAMP VDR & VER: Daily Scans Are Only the Beginning

FedRAMP Vulnerability Detection and Response (VDR) and Vulnerability Evaluation and Validation (VER) requirements become mandatory for all cloud service offerings obtaining or maintaining FedRAMP Certification on December 7, 2026. The requirements replace the fixed monthly-scan and POA&M model with more frequent detection, machine validation, tiered remediation deadlines, and evidence-based continuous validation.
