Keeper Security Secures FedRAMP High Approval to Protect the US Government’s Most Critical Cloud Systems

Keeper Security has crossed one of the most demanding thresholds in federal cybersecurity, earning authorization to operate at the FedRAMP High level for its government cloud platform. The approval positions the company to secure some of the US government’s most sensitive unclassified systems, including those tied to law enforcement, emergency response, and critical infrastructure.

FedRAMP High is not a routine certification. It applies to cloud systems where a breach could result in severe or catastrophic harm to government operations or individuals. By clearing that bar, Keeper Security expands its role in federal IT modernization efforts that increasingly emphasize zero trust, identity-first security, and least-privilege access.

The authorization applies to the Keeper Security Government Cloud, a cloud-native privileged access management platform designed to control how administrators, contractors, and automated systems access high-value systems. The platform builds on Keeper’s earlier FedRAMP Moderate authorization from 2022 and reflects a broader push by agencies to consolidate credential security, session monitoring, and endpoint controls into unified architectures.

“Achieving FedRAMP High Authorization underscores Keeper's readiness to protect agencies operating in the most demanding environments,” said Zoya Schaller, Director of Cybersecurity Compliance at Keeper. “This authorization validates the maturity of our security program and the differentiating strength of our technical and organizational controls. We're proud to help federal organizations advance their missions with confidence.”

FedRAMP, short for the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, standardizes how cloud services are evaluated and monitored across civilian agencies. High-impact systems are assessed against the most rigorous control set in NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5, covering everything from encryption and access controls to incident response and continuous monitoring. For agencies under pressure to modernize legacy infrastructure without increasing risk, FedRAMP High authorizations significantly narrow the field of viable vendors.

Keeper’s government cloud bundles password and passkey management, secrets management, privileged session monitoring, zero-trust network access, endpoint privilege management, and remote browser isolation into a single platform. The company says this approach is meant to reduce credential sprawl while giving security teams real-time visibility into privileged activity, a common blind spot in federal environments.

The platform also aligns with federal identity standards, supporting CAC and PIV smart cards and integrating with government identity providers. That compatibility is critical for agencies operating under frameworks such as FIPS 201 and NIST SP 800-63, where strong identity assurance is foundational to zero-trust adoption.

“As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, agencies need cloud-native, zero-trust solutions that deliver speed, simplicity and strength,” said Darren Guccione, CEO and co-founder of Keeper Security. “Keeper is honored to protect the public sector's data, systems, professionals and warfighters who safeguard the U.S. government, its allies and citizens.”

The FedRAMP High milestone adds to a growing list of validations for Keeper, including FIPS 140-3 cryptographic certification, GovRAMP authorization, SOC 2 Type II and SOC 3 attestations, ISO 27001 family certifications, and inclusion on the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation approved products list. According to the company, its technology is already used by more than 100,000 organizations worldwide, including US federal agencies such as the Departments of Justice, Energy, Transportation, and Interior, FEMA, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

For federal security leaders facing escalating ransomware threats, insider risk, and compliance mandates, FedRAMP High approvals remain a critical gatekeeper. Keeper’s authorization signals that privileged access management, long treated as a niche control, is now firmly embedded in the government’s zero-trust future.
