The Verkada Command Platform hosted in AWS GovCloud has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Moderate Authorization. The U.S. Department of Energy served as Verkada’s FedRAMP agency sponsor for the authorization.

“Federal agencies are responsible for protecting people and facilities across complex, distributed environments, and they need flexible, modern tools that are built to meet today’s threats and scale with tomorrow’s,” said Jon Andersen, federal chief information security officer, Verkada. “Achieving FedRAMP Moderate Authorization is an important milestone as we continue to modernize physical security infrastructure for organizations with stringent compliance and security standards.”

Federal agencies and contractors can now leverage the Verkada Command Platform hosted in AWS GovCloud to manage their compatible physical security devices remotely, eliminate the need for on-premise infrastructure and deploy AI-powered analytics at scale.

Using Verkada’s government-grade platform, public sector organizations can deploy supported product lines, including video security with FIPS 140-validated cameras, access control for managing doors, users, buildings and permissions, Command Connector for bringing compatible third-party cameras into Command, cellular gateways for connecting devices in remote or hard-to-wire locations, air quality sensors for monitoring indoor environmental conditions and Verkada Guest for visitor management.

Verkada’s platform is built on Zero Trust principles, offering centralized identity management, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, least-privilege access and role-based permissions. It also includes safeguards such as encryption at rest and in transit, audit logs, face blurring, privacy regions and time-bound customer consent for support access.

Verkada’s government-grade solutions are now listed on the FedRAMP marketplace and accessible through major government procurement channels, including Carahsoft’s GSA Schedule, NASA SEWP V, ITES-SW2, DLA TLS and various Socio Economic partner vehicles.
