Eightfold AI, a leader in AI-powered talent intelligence, has achieved a significant milestone—receiving Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program Moderate Authorization for its Talent Intelligence Platform. This certification authorizes the platform for use by U.S. federal agencies, confirming that it meets the rigorous security and risk management standards outlined by the U.S. government for cloud service providers handling sensitive, unclassified information.
This recognition marks Eightfold’s entry into an elite category of FedRAMP-authorized cloud vendors, enabling faster adoption across the public sector and reinforcing the platform’s credibility in the private sector.
What is FedRAMP Moderate Authorization?
FedRAMP is a U.S. government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to assessing, authorizing, and monitoring cloud services for federal use. A Moderate Authorization means the service meets stringent security controls derived from NIST SP 800-53, tailored for systems that process personally identifiable information (PII) and other sensitive but unclassified data.
To achieve this designation, Eightfold AI underwent an independent security assessment by a FedRAMP-accredited Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO), validating its platform’s ability to securely manage sensitive federal data.
