Asana Announces Commitment to Pursuing FedRAMP Authorization

Commitment underscores Asana’s multi-year journey to enhancing security, transparency, and trust to help healthcare, financial services, and government agencies work smarter

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Asana, Inc. (NYSE: ASAN) (LTSE: ASAN), the #1 AI work management platform that helps organizations of all sizes connect work to goals, announces their commitment to pursuing FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) authorization in order to serve the complex needs of enterprises in regulated industries. Organizations in healthcare, financial services, and government agencies are challenged to meet strict compliance, security, and privacy standards while operating in complex work environments, making it difficult to move initiatives forward and achieve organizational goals. Asana’s commitment to FedRAMP aims to help customers successfully tackle these challenges.

“Pursuing FedRAMP is another step in the journey to support our customers in highly regulated industries and government agencies around the world,” explains Sean Cassidy, Asana’s Head of Security. “We understand their unique challenges and the complexity of cross-functional collaboration within a stringent regulatory environment. Our latest AI features accelerate work by identifying critical priorities and risks, tracking progress against goals, and even actioning tasks proactively, all without compromising security, privacy, and compliance.”

FedRAMP requires rigorous compliance with a set of comprehensive security controls to ensure the protection of highly sensitive data. Achieving FedRAMP authorization will further position Asana as a leader in the collaborative work management category, offering important benefits to customers such as robust security and compliance standards that ensure data protection and regulatory adherence, as well as enhanced customization and controls to allow organizations the ability to configure Asana to meet specific regulatory needs and industry standards.

“For so long, companies in highly regulated industries and government agencies have had to settle for cumbersome products for compliance reasons, lacking the ability to effectively manage work and drive efficient collaboration,” says Cassidy. “By pursuing FedRAMP, Asana will offer a solution that not only meets stringent security, privacy, and compliance requirements but also brings teams together across complex organizations to work smarter and faster toward their goals.”

Asana already offers powerful security features for all customers, including user access controls, permissioning, data management, global compliance certifications and attestations, and more. Visit security.asana.com for details, and learn more on our blog.
