We are excited to announce that Xacta®, a leading Cyber Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) cloud service offering, has been authorized as FedRAMP® Impact Level “High.”

FedRAMP High Authorization, the highest security level in the FedRAMP program, is utilized to secure the government’s most sensitive unclassified data.

At Telos, we’re pleased to achieve this milestone, as this designation demonstrates our commitment to providing a secure and reliable platform for both our current and future customers — particularly those in the federal government and other highly regulated industries.

About Xacta

Deployed at some of the world’s most security-conscious organizations, Xacta is a cyber GRC platform that enables organizations to continually manage their cyber risk and security compliance initiatives through the power of automation.

Xacta automates processes for assessment and authorization, remediation, and continuous monitoring. Organizations leveraging Xacta can reduce the effort required to collect and apply context to evidence, manage compliance, and maintain a robust security posture.

Xacta administers the key elements of more than 100 leading regulations and policies for IT security compliance in government and commercial markets, including the NIST RMF, RMF for DoD IT, NIST CSF, and FedRAMP.

Benefits for Customers

The primary reason we’re excited about this achievement is the benefits Xacta’s FedRAMP High authorization will bring to both current and future customers.

For existing customers, Xacta’s FedRAMP High authorization provides an added layer of trust and confidence in our platform, knowing that we have met the rigorous security standards set by the federal government.

Xacta’s future customers will benefit as well. For federal agencies, utilizing a platform with FedRAMP High authorization ensures compliance with federal security requirements, thereby reducing the risk of data breaches and cyber threats. This authorization level provides assurance that Xacta has undergone rigorous testing and that it is being continuously monitored to safeguard sensitive information.

Cloud service providers who have already achieved their own FedRAMP authorization can also benefit from choosing a cyber GRC platform such as Xacta for continuous monitoring, as Xacta makes the continuous monitoring process smoother and easier.

Xacta is also ideal for cloud service providers seeking FedRAMP authorization. While the FedRAMP program is undergoing significant transformation in 2025 — streamlining processes and introducing the automation-focused FedRAMP 20x framework — the need for FedRAMP authorization remains essential for cloud service providers seeking business opportunities within the federal government. Xacta has been strategically built to guide you through this evolving landscape, acting as a trusted sherpa to help you navigate the complexities of FedRAMP compliance.

Finally, Xacta can be leveraged as a central system of record to ensure data consistency and accuracy, improved efficiency, and security.

Who Should Consider Xacta?

Any organization that requires high levels of security and compliance, particularly those in the federal government and other highly regulated industries, should consider Xacta. This includes:

• Commercial organizations pursuing FedRAMP authorization,
• Government agencies,
• Any organization that has already achieved FedRAMP authorization and is searching for a more efficient and effective way to manage its continuous monitoring requirements.

A Proactive Approach to Risk

Modern enterprises are increasingly confronted with a multitude of cyber risks, both from within and outside the organization. Addressing these challenges necessitates a proactive approach to ensure adherence to security standards across the enterprise.

Xacta was created so that the world’s most security-focused organizations would have a way to streamline and simplify the process of managing cyber risks and compliance. By achieving FedRAMP High authorization, Xacta is now better positioned to help even more organizations streamline the compliance process for the leading government and industry standards and frameworks, as well as achieve — and maintain — overall organizational resilience.
