Pega Achieves In Process Status for FedRAMP’s Highest Security Level for Cloud Services

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – July 25, 2024 – Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA), the leading enterprise AI decisioning and workflow automation platform, today announced its latest milestone in advancing its federal agency capabilities by achieving FedRAMP® High Ready compliance and In Process status with the Department of Veterans Affairs for its Pega Cloud® for Government solution.
 
With data breaches and malicious hacking on the rise, the federal government requires its cloud providers to uphold strict security standards to protect the data held by its agencies. The FedRAMP program provides a standardized approach to assessing the security capabilities of cloud services used by federal agencies. These controls are a subset of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SP 800-53 controls that are tailored and augmented to address the unique risks associated with cloud computing environments and the sensitive nature of high-impact federal data. 

FedRAMP High, FedRAMP’s most rigorous standard, assesses IT solutions across hundreds of security controls rooted in NIST for security and risk management vulnerabilities. This designation represents a significant commitment to delivering secure, efficient, and compliant solutions tailored to the needs of federal agencies. Pega’s pursuit of FedRAMP High underscores its dedication to meeting the unique requirements and challenges faced by federal agencies and providing them with the confidence to securely embrace digital transformation initiatives.
