- Appian (APPN, Financial) secures FedRAMP High authorization for hosting highly sensitive government civilian data.
- The company renews a three-year Impact Level 5 (IL5) Provisional Authority from DISA.
- Appian celebrates a decade of maintaining FedRAMP authorization, reinforcing its commitment to government security.
Appian (APPN) has achieved a critical milestone in cloud security by obtaining the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP®) High authorization for its Appian Government Cloud (AGC). This authorization allows AGC to store and process highly sensitive unclassified data for federal civilian agencies, safeguarding information where breaches could lead to severe consequences, including financial catastrophe or loss of life.
This new authorization complements Appian's strategic renewal of its Impact Level 5 (IL5) Provisional Authority with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), valid for a three-year period. The IL5 compliance permits AGC to host Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), essential for Department of Defense (DoD) operations.
FedRAMP High is a prestigious designation that involves a rigorous security assessment and continuous monitoring, certifying that AGC can manage critical government data across sectors like law enforcement, health, and finance. This achievement is a testament to Appian's long-standing dedication to security, marking the tenth consecutive year of holding FedRAMP authorization, with Appian Cloud maintaining FedRAMP Moderate status since 2015.
Appian's cloud platform is now leveraged by 22 distinct federal agencies, including every cabinet-level agency. In 2024, the US Department of Interior will join the roster, demonstrating Appian's extensive penetration into the federal market. The company's alignment with the administration's Executive Order on Federal Agency AI Use positions it to support secure AI implementations across government processes.
Beyond security authorizations, Appian highlights its robust 25-year partnership with government customers, underscoring the company's expertise and reliability in providing solutions tailored to the unique needs of public sector organizations. For government entities seeking a trusted partner in technological transformation, Appian offers pre-vetted, secure solutions that streamline compliance and enhance operational efficiency.
