Receives Full Three-year Impact Level 5 PA and
Celebrates 10 Years of FedRAMP Authorization for Appian
Cloud
MCLEAN,
Va., April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Appian
(NASDAQ: APPN) today announced that Appian Government Cloud (AGC)
has obtained Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program
(FedRAMP®) High authorization, which will enable it to host highly
sensitive government civilian data for Appian's federal civilian
customers where a security breach could result in loss of life or
financial ruin. Appian has also renewed its Impact Level 5 (IL5)
Provisional Authority to Operate (PA) from the Defense Information
Systems Agency (DISA) for AGC for a three-year period. With IL5
compliance, AGC is authorized to host Controlled Unclassified
Information (CUI), mission-critical information.
AGC's designation confirms its ability to
handle highly sensitive, unclassified data for federal civilian
customers.
Appian Government Cloud achieves FedRAMP High
authorization.
FedRAMP is a government-wide program that
standardizes security assessment, authorization, and continuous
monitoring for cloud services, enabling agencies to adopt secure
cloud technologies. The FedRAMP High designation is awarded to
cloud providers that partner with a federal agency and pass a
rigorous third-party security assessment. AGC's designation
confirms its ability to handle highly sensitive, unclassified data,
including information critical to protecting lives and financial
assets.
High impact data is found in law enforcement, emergency
services, financial, and health systems, where data loss could have
severe or catastrophic consequences. FedRAMP's High baseline
addresses the government's most sensitive unclassified data,
ensuring its security in cloud environments.
"Appian Government Cloud achieving FedRAMP High and IL5 means
that government customers can now implement the directive of the
administration's Executive Order on Federal Agency AI Use and
securely add AI across their business processes today," said
Michael Beckley, Founder and Chief
Technology Officer, Appian.
Appian Government Cloud receives three-year IL5 authorization
to enable secure, improved processes for the DoD.
AGC is a
platform-as-a-service (PaaS)/Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) cloud
offering that enables federal civilian and Department of Defense
(DoD) organizations to run better processes that reduce costs,
improve citizen experiences, and gain a strategic edge in an
environment that meets stringent security standards. With an IL5
authorization, Appian manages the security of the underlying
computing environment, enabling DoD mission owners to focus on
building applications to meet their mission. A shared
responsibility model allows application owners to inherit the
majority security controls from Appian. While AGC has maintained an
IL5 authorization since 2022, Appian has now received a three-year
PA, demonstrating the DoD's continued trust in Appian's ability to
provide industry-leading security and availability.
Appian marks 10 years of
FedRAMP authorization.
Appian's commitment to providing
comprehensive security and compliance in the cloud goes beyond AGC.
Since 2015, Appian Cloud has maintained its FedRAMP Moderate
status, with this year's authorization marking its 10th consecutive
year of compliance. Appian Cloud customers benefit from a secure AI
infrastructure, significant time and cost savings, improved
security risk management, and enhanced program transparency for
mission-critical federal operations. Appian Cloud is used by 22
different agencies across the federal government, including the
Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Labor,
Department of State, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC),
and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The FedRAMP High authorization for AGC, renewal of the IL5 PA
for AGC, and 10-year FedRAMP Moderate authorization for Appian
Cloud are the latest achievements in Appian's 25-year history of
working with the US Government. In 2024, Appian welcomed the US
Department of Interior to its customer portfolio, marking a key
milestone as the company is now trusted by every cabinet-level
agency in the government.
