Keyfactor Obtains FedRAMP “In Process” Authorization

Apr 8, 2025

Keyfactor , the industry leader in digital trust for modern enterprises, today announced that Keyfactor Command Certificate Lifecycle Automation as a Service (CLAaaS) has achieved “In Process” status from the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP®) and is now listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace . As the first Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) vendor to attain this status, Keyfactor's designation marks a significant milestone in providing CLM capabilities specifically tailored to the needs of U.S. federal agencies. FedRAMP ensures that cloud products and services adopted by federal agencies meet strict security requirements to protect federal data. To achieve full authorization, Keyfactor will complete a thorough examination of its security capabilities and that of its Command CLAaaS solution. “Keyfactor's FedRAMP designation underscores our commitment to meeting our federal customers where they are, delivering the security, compliance, and trust they need to fully embrace the power of the cloud,” said Ted Shorter, CTO, Keyfactor. “This milestone brings us one step closer to enabling agencies to securely adopt and scale their digital transformation efforts with confidence.” Recent U.S. Executive Orders emphasize the need to modernize security measures and processes related to cloud services across federal agencies. Central to these directives is the transition to zero trust architectures, which demands rigorous, continuous verification of every user and device. This inherently includes the effective management of digital certificates. Keyfactor Command CLAaaS provides federal agencies with highly scalable certificate lifecycle management and automation across their network and hybrid cloud infrastructure, improving authentication processes and securing identities. Agencies must also be prepared for significant industry developments. Shortened certificate lifecycles and post-quantum cryptography are driving greater certificate demands, substantially increasing management overhead. Keyfactor Command CLAaaS drives operational efficiency for federal agencies by automating lifecycles and removing the need to manage on-premises CLM infrastructure.
