Alation Earns FedRAMP “In Process” Status to Deliver Data Intelligence to the Federal Government
23 Mayo 2024 - 8:04AM
Alation Inc., the data intelligence company, today announced its
achievement of the Federal Risk and Authorization Management
Program (FedRAMP®) "In Process" status and listing on FedRAMP®
Marketplace at a Moderate impact level, strengthening the Alation
Data Intelligence Platform capabilities for US government
enterprises. Once FedRAMP® authorization is achieved, federal,
state, and local agencies can harness trusted data for their
sensitive workloads across cloud applications. Alation is
partnering with Constellation GovCloud and Merlin Cyber to
accelerate its FedRAMP® authorization journey and expand its
footprint in the federal market.
This "In Process'' milestone highlights Alation's commitment to
government agencies and security-conscious commercial customers
globally. It builds on Alation’s security and compliance
certifications, including ISO 27001:2013, ISO 27701:2019, SOC 2
Type II, HIPAA, and HITECH. This enables existing public sector
customers to confidently move to Alation Cloud Service and attract
new federal, state, local, and educational customers. These
investments will further enhance security and benefit customers in
highly regulated industries by ensuring stringent data compliance
and privacy regulations are met. Alation centralizes metadata from
various sources, providing a unified platform for discovering,
describing, governing, and managing data assets, including data,
business intelligence (BI) reports, and AI models. This enables
government agencies to efficiently find, understand, trust, and
utilize sensitive data subject to stringent regulations and deliver
on mission-critical objectives.
"Data intelligence is revolutionizing national security
decision-making and accelerating the modernization of legacy
systems, enabling federal agencies to unlock mission-critical data
insights," said Junaid Saiyed, CTO at Alation. "In today’s data
environment, trust hinges on enterprise-class security, and
FedRAMP® offers this critical validation. FedRAMP® allows Alation
to support essential analytical workloads in the federal market,
meeting rigorous security standards to manage sensitive data in the
cloud—from education to defense readiness through Generative
AI."
Alation’s partnerships with Constellation GovCloud and Merlin
Cyber allow government agencies to search for and discover secure,
FedRAMP®-compliant data. Constellation GovCloud de-risks the
FedRAMP® authorization process for Alation by handling most
compliance tasks and reducing costs. Alation is trusted by nearly
50 federal agencies and over 550 global enterprises and offers
intelligent search, collaborative insights, and rapid connectivity

confidently use Alation to empower data teams, ensuring mission
success, data protection, and improved services.

data intelligence solution more accessible to the US Government and
opens up tremendous growth opportunities for Alation," stated Josh
Beard, General Manager of Constellation GovCloud. "Government
customers can also be assured that the Alation solution will meet
the necessary security and compliance requirements and enable them
to use Alation to search and unlock data value confidently."
