  • Cyera has achieved FedRAMP High “In Process” designation, a major step toward full authorization for handling high-impact sensitive data.
  • The designation supports federal agencies scaling AI while maintaining strict security and compliance standards.
  • Cyera for Government delivers visibility and control over sensitive data accessed by AI agents and users across hybrid environments.
  • The platform automatically discovers and classifies data, enforcing zero trust and aligning with OMB M-25-21 requirements.
  • It enables secure adoption of AI tools like Microsoft Copilot without increasing risks of data sprawl or shadow AI.
  • Cyera brings enterprise-grade AI security experience from regulated industries to the public sector.

Cyera, the AI Security Platform built for the age of agents, has achieved FedRAMP High “In Process” designation. This milestone advances the company toward full authorization under the government’s most rigorous standards for FISMA high-impact data and introduces Cyera for Government to the public sector.

Raising the Bar for Securing Sensitive Data in AI Deployments

Federal agencies are rapidly scaling AI initiatives, moving beyond experimentation into production environments. This shift elevates the security challenge from protecting systems to governing the sensitive data that AI agents and users can access, copy, and move across environments.

FedRAMP High “In Process” reflects Cyera’s progress through the government’s demanding security review process for systems handling sensitive data, including controlled unclassified information (CUI). The platform provides agencies with clear visibility into data activity and enforceable controls to maintain zero trust principles.

“Federal agencies aren’t experimenting with AI anymore, they’re scaling it,” said Lamont Orange, Chief Trust Officer at Cyera. “That changes the security problem. It’s no longer just about systems, it’s about the data those systems can access and use. Moving toward FedRAMP High reflects our focus on ensuring agencies stay in control of that data and operate at the government’s highest standard.”

Built for the Most Sensitive Data Environments

Cyera for Government was designed from the ground up to meet FedRAMP High requirements. It automatically discovers and classifies sensitive data across hybrid cloud and on-premises environments, giving teams complete awareness of what data exists, where it resides, and how it is being used.

This capability allows federal agencies to adopt AI technologies confidently while remaining compliant with evolving federal standards such as OMB M-25-21. Agencies can integrate tools like Microsoft Copilot while minimizing risks associated with data sprawl and shadow AI, all without compromising operational speed or data control.

The solution is especially relevant for government IT and technology teams responsible for mission-critical systems that demand the highest levels of data security alongside AI innovation.
