SimpliGov Secures FedRAMP High Authorization to Streamline Government Operations

SimpliGov Achieves FedRAMP High Authorization

In a significant move to enhance operational efficiency within government agencies, SimpliGov has successfully attained the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High Authorization. This achievement comes through a strategic partnership with Knox Systems, recognized as the largest and most enduring federal managed cloud service provider.

FedRAMP is a government-wide program intended to provide a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. This new authorization now opens doors for SimpliGov's governmental operations platform to be utilized by federal agencies, ensuring they have the highest assurance of data protection.

SimpliGov simplifies the complexities of governmental workflows, which are often bogged down by outdated systems relying on manual processes. Many agencies traditionally used tools like spreadsheets and email to coordinate their operations—from program intake to processing payments—which could lead to inefficiencies and a loss of critical institutional knowledge as staff members transitioned out.

The integration of SimpliGov’s platform provides these agencies with streamlined access to better tools, enabling program teams to track and visualize their work's progress. This also allows them to adapt workflows in real-time as policies evolve, without having to rely on extended IT backlogs or costly external consultants.

Jill Schornack, Chief Product Technology Officer of SimpliGov, emphasized the importance of data security for government teams that serve the public. She stated, "This milestone reflects the standard we hold ourselves to for every state and local agency we work with and extends it to the federal government. SimpliGov was built for government from the ground up, so the security and operational realities of public sector work are part of the platform’s foundation."

The collaboration with Knox Systems has been pivotal for SimpliGov, as their expertise in navigating the FedRAMP authorization process provided a clear pathway to achieve compliance efficiently. Knox's well-developed authorization framework ensured SimpliGov could meet the stringent security requirements, now allowing federal, state, and local agencies to leverage this advanced system.

CEO of Knox Systems, Irina Denisenko, remarked, "Modernizing government starts with the operations underneath it, not just the technology layered on top. By partnering with Knox to achieve FedRAMP High Authorization, SimpliGov is keeping government programs moving and giving the most tightly regulated agencies the same ability every other program team already has to run their own workflows, own their own data, and build the digitized foundation their AI ambitions will eventually depend on."

SimpliGov transforms the way government entities manage their operations, turning various forms, approvals, and task handoffs—often concealed within emails and spreadsheets—into digital, automated workflows. This innovation allows leaders to gain real-time insights into program performance and lays the groundwork for the integration of AI technologies safely into operations.
