The federal compliance landscape is shifting fast — but beneath the acronyms, something important is happening. NIST Rev 5, the 20x initiative and DoW's Software Fast Track (SWFT), are all converging on the following principles: automated risk management, machine-readable security documentation and continuous evidence over point-in-time audits.

For organizations supporting both civilian and defense customers, this convergence is an opportunity. The challenge has always been maintaining separate baselines for separate frameworks — a costly, error-prone approach that doesn't scale. But if your Rev 5 baseline is built right, it can serve as the foundation for DoW overlays without starting over.

In this session, we will:

Unpack how 20x, Rev 5 cATO and DoW SWFT align.
Show you how to architect a single, extensible baseline that satisfies all three.
Cover how OSCAL makes machine-readable SSPs the connective tissue across frameworks.
What "build once, extend everywhere" looks like in practice.
How teams use these shared principles to accelerate authorization timelines without sacrificing rigor.

Whether you're an ISSO, system owner or GRC practitioner navigating a multi-framework environment, this session will give you a concrete strategy for building compliance infrastructure that's ready for where federal risk management is headed — not just where it's been.
