Enabling Secure, Scalable Offensive Security for Federal Agencies
FedRAMP Moderate Authorization represents a significant milestone for Bugcrowd, confirming that its platform adheres to the U.S. government's stringent requirements for cloud security and data protection. Sponsored by CISA, this achievement allows federal security teams to leverage Bugcrowd's extensive researcher community with confidence in compliance and data safeguards.
The authorization streamlines adoption by eliminating traditional barriers, enabling agencies to focus on proactive vulnerability management across mission-critical assets rather than solely perimeter defenses.
