SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Sept. 18, 2019 – ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW),
the leading digital workflow company making work, work better for
people, today announced that the ServiceNow GovCommunityCloud
has obtained FedRAMP High Impact Provisional Authority to Operate
(P‑ATO) from the Joint Authorization Board. ServiceNow is only the
third Software‑as‑a‑Service solution provider to obtain a FedRAMP
P‑ATO. This certification will enable federal agencies to move faster
and securely to cloud based solutions. By using ServiceNow’s automated
workflow capabilities, federal agencies will be able to accelerate
their movement of data, including controlled unclassified and personal
identifiable information, to the cloud.
“In an increasingly digitized world, it is imperative that federal
agencies move to the cloud on highly secure platforms to protect their
most mission‑critical information while addressing digital
transformation,” said Brian Marvin, Vice President of Federal Sales,
ServiceNow. “The FedRAMP High Authorization gives all federal agencies
greater access to ServiceNow’s best‑in‑class digital experiences for
IT, customer and employee workflows.
ServiceNow’s achievement of the FedRAMP High authorization furthers
its continued commitment to the U.S. Government and to becoming a
strategic partner helping governments modernize, drive efficiency and
deliver better experiences for employees and their citizens. The
company provides federal agencies with more than 400 security
controls, enabling them to better manage, process and safeguard their
data. In addition to obtaining FedRAMP High, ServiceNow is currently
applying for the DoD’s Impact Level 4 authorization, which, if
successfully obtained, will allow federal civilian, defense and
intelligence agencies to utilize ServiceNow’s automated workflow
capabilities for data with higher levels of classification.
"For federal agencies, protecting the security and privacy of
digital assets is paramount. The highest level of security is critical
for the ability to monitor, identify, contain, measure and address
risks and mitigate cybersecurity disruptions,” said Adelaide O'Brien,
research director, IDC Government Insights. O'Brien advises agencies
to understand the sensitivity of the data that will be used with the
cloud service provider and select a vendor based on their ability to
provide the right level of security.
FedRAMP was established to provide a standardized approach for
assessing, monitoring, and authorizing cloud computing products and
services to federal agencies, and to accelerate the adoption of secure
cloud solutions by federal agencies.
