Cyera Achieves FedRAMP High “In Process” Designation to Securely Accelerate AI Adoption

As federal agencies move faster with AI, Cyera advances toward full authorization as control of the data behind it becomes critical

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cyera, the AI Security Platform built for the age of agents, today announced it has achieved FedRAMP High “In Process” designation, a key step toward full authorization under the government’s most rigorous standards for FISMA high-impact data. Cyera already partners with some of the largest and most regulated enterprises and is now bringing that experience to the public sector with Cyera for Government.

Raising the Bar for Securing Sensitive Data

FedRAMP High “In Process” marks Cyera’s progress toward full authorization with a federal agency sponsor, as it undergoes the government’s most demanding security review for systems that handle sensitive data.

At the same time, the challenge has shifted. It’s no longer just where data lives; it’s what AI can do with it. AI agents and employees are constantly accessing, copying, and moving sensitive data across environments. That’s true in government and across industries like financial services and healthcare, where the margin for error is zero.

Cyera for Government gives teams a clear view of that activity and control over what happens next, protecting controlled unclassified information (CUI), enforcing zero trust, and meeting evolving requirements without slowing down operations.

“Federal agencies aren’t experimenting with AI anymore, they’re scaling it,” said Lamont Orange, Chief Trust Officer at Cyera. “That changes the security problem. It’s no longer just about systems, it’s about the data those systems can access and use. Moving toward FedRAMP High reflects our focus on ensuring agencies stay in control of that data and operate at the government’s highest standard.”

Built for the most sensitive data environments

Cyera for Government was built for FedRAMP High from the start, recognizing that teams responsible for mission-critical data don’t have the option to compromise.

The platform gives agencies the visibility and control needed to secure AI in line with OMB M-25-21. It automatically discovers and classifies sensitive data across hybrid environments, so teams know what data exists, where it lives, and how it’s being used.

That foundation allows agencies to adopt AI and tools like Microsoft Copilot with confidence, staying compliant with federal standards while reducing the risks of data sprawl and shadow AI - without losing control of their data.
