Datadog and Carahsoft Say Datadog for Government Got FedRAMP High
Datadog, Inc. and Carahsoft Technology Corp. said Datadog for Government received FedRAMP High certification for its observability and security platform, a development that affects how the product can be used in highly sensitive Federal environments.
In the companies’ description, the certification reflects completion of the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) process at the High level for the observability and security platform in question.
Datadog said its AI-powered end-to-end observability and security platform provides real-time visibility and “actionable insights” across agencies’ IT environments, and it includes “comprehensive dashboards and intelligent alerts.” The company stated the platform is intended to identify and manage risk within a single solution that is designed for high-impact systems.
Carahsoft said it serves as Datadog’s Master Government Aggregator and that Datadog’s solutions are available through Carahsoft’s GSA Schedule No. 47QSWA18D008F, NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement #AR2472, TIPS Contract #220105, OMNIA Partners Contract #R240303 and E&I Contract #EI00063~2021MA.
“Achieving FedRAMP High certification places Datadog among a select group of tech companies certified to operate in highly sensitive Federal environments. This milestone reinforces Datadog’s leadership in cloud security and compliance, and sets a new standard for observability platforms in regulated sectors,” said Emilio Escobar, CISO at Datadog. “FedRAMP High certification gives U.S. Government agencies and contractors the assurance they need to adopt Datadog for secure workloads, bringing modern observability, faster incident response and operational visibility into previously restricted environments.” “Datadog’s FedRAMP High Certification reinforces its commitment to delivering a platform that meets the highest standards for security and performance for its customers,” said Steve Jacyna, Director of Innovative Cybersecurity Solutions at Carahsoft.
