Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA), the enterprise AI software company for mission-critical work, today announced Pega Cloud® for Government has achieved GovRAMP Impact High Level status, the highest designation available from this emerging government technology certification program. This provides state and local government clients with independent validation that Pega meets rigorous cloud security and risk management requirements, helping local agencies more quickly procure and deploy it.

Market context: Helping state and local governments move to the cloud

State and local government organizations are modernizing legacy systems and moving more critical operations to the cloud while facing stringent requirements to protect government data. These security requirements can add time and complexity to cloud procurement as agencies assess whether technology providers meet their standards. Similar to FedRAMP for federal agencies, GovRAMP provides a standardized approach for validating each jurisdiction’s cloud security requirements, giving participating government organizations greater confidence when evaluating cloud services.

A Closer Look: Validated for stringent security requirements

To achieve GovRAMP Impact Level High, Pega underwent a comprehensive independent assessment of its security, operational, and compliance practices. The process evaluated controls across areas including access management, data protection, vulnerability management, incident response, continuous monitoring, and risk management.

Pega Cloud for Government provides the workflow automation tools, environments, and operational support government agencies use to modernize applications and improve operations. It connects data and systems across operational silos to help reduce complexity and improve service delivery, while giving agencies the flexibility to scale as requirements change. Pega Cloud for Government is also FedRAMP Class D (High) Certified, the program’s highest security level, for federal workloads involving sensitive data.
