SAN
MATEO, Calif., July 8, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Verkada, a pioneer in cloud-based physical
security solutions, has achieved another important milestone on its
journey to becoming FedRAMP Authorized. Today Verkada Command in
AWS GovCloud was designated FedRAMP Moderate Ready by the Federal
Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP®) and is now
listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace. The FedRAMP Ready status makes
it easier and faster for government agencies to approve and
implement Verkada's video security and visitor management
solutions.
In February, Verkada announced the launch of Verkada Command in
AWS GovCloud, supporting two key product lines: video security with
FIPS-validated cameras and Verkada Guest, the company's visitor
management solution. The achievement of FedRAMP Ready status
further underscores Verkada's commitment to making secure and
reliable solutions accessible to public sector customers.
What is FedRAMP?
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP)
is a U.S. government initiative that sets rigorous security
standards for cloud service providers. These standards include
security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring to
help ensure high levels of data protection and compliance.
To achieve FedRAMP Ready status, Verkada collaborated with a
third-party assessment organization (3PAO) to complete a
comprehensive Readiness Assessment Report. This report demonstrated
Verkada's adherence to key security controls, representing a
significant step toward full authorization.
Next Steps for Verkada and FedRAMP
Verkada's journey toward FedRAMP Authorization continues with
the next phase: achieving "In Process" status. This phase involves
a more detailed security assessment conducted with a sponsoring
federal agency. Success at this stage will lead to an evaluation
for full authorization.
"We are thrilled to reach this important milestone, which
reflects our dedication to making advanced security solutions
accessible to the public sector," said Jon
Andersen, Federal Chief Information Security Officer, at
Verkada. "We look forward to continuing our progress toward full
FedRAMP Authorization and expanding our offerings to meet the needs
of government agencies."
