Telos Corporation’s Xacta Achieves FedRAMP’s Highest Authorization
This significant milestone underscores Xacta’s robust security capabilities and its commitment to providing top-tier cyber governance, risk and compliance solutions for government agencies and CSPs to provide secure cloud services.
Telos Corporation (NASDAQ: TLS), a leading provider of cyber, cloud and enterprise security solutions for the world’s most security-conscious organizations, announced today that its premier cyber governance, risk and compliance (GRC) platform, Xacta®, has achieved authorization from the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) at Impact Level “High.”
With this achievement, Telos is now listed in the FedRAMP Marketplace as an Authorized vendor, which means that the software-as-a-service (SaaS) version of Xacta has been rigorously evaluated and meets all readiness and security assessment criteria necessary to operate securely for sensitive government operations.
“Securing the FedRAMP High designation is a significant milestone for both Telos and our customers,” said John B. Wood, CEO and chairman, Telos. “In an era where federal agencies face increasingly sophisticated threats from malicious actors, including nation-state adversaries, it is crucial to manage security risks effectively. We are proud to empower our customers with the tools they need to achieve their missions safely and securely.”
FedRAMP is a U.S. government-wide program that enables agencies to adopt modern cloud technologies by providing a standardized approach to the security and protection of federal information. The FedRAMP High impact level is the highest within the program, allowing federal agencies to safely and efficiently use cloud services while handling unclassified but highly sensitive information, such as financial information, healthcare records and personally identifiable information (PII).
Xacta’s FedRAMP High Authorization not only enhances its appeal to federal agencies but also reinforces Telos Corporation’s position as a leader in the cybersecurity and compliance space. With this authorization, Xacta is well-equipped to support the federal government’s mission-critical operations and safeguard its most sensitive information. The FedRAMP High authorization positions Xacta for continued growth in the secure SaaS market, driven by the evolving threat landscape and increasing demand for effective cyber risk management solutions.
Xacta helps meet the complex challenges of managing cyber risk and security compliance with intelligent workflow, automated control selection and assessment, and continuous compliance monitoring. The SaaS instance of Xacta offers a vast knowledge base of thousands of individual security requirements and associated test procedures, organized and cross-referenced to multiple government and industry security policies and standards to produce artifacts in traditional office documents and digital formats like Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL). The Xacta team remains committed to innovation and integrating the latest technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), into the Xacta environment.
Earlier this year, the Xacta SaaS received StateRAMP High authorization, which positions Telos as a trusted partner for state and local government agencies seeking secure cloud-based solutions that adhere to stringent StateRAMP security standards.
