RegScale Achieves FedRAMP High Authorization with U.S. Department of Homeland Security as Agency Sponsor

RegScale uses its own Continuous Controls Monitoring platform to achieve FedRAMP High 3x faster, with 95% less effort and 50% lower cost with AI and Compliance as Code 

TYSONS CORNER, Va., June 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- RegScale, a leader in Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM), announced today that it has achieved FedRAMP High Authorization, a significant milestone that positions the company among a select group of vendors trusted to support the federal government's most sensitive systems. CCM is a generation 2 Cyber GRC, purpose-built for the CISO as an operational risk tool that leverages compliance as code and AI to achieve extreme automation within risk and compliance programs. RegScale earned this designation by using its own CCM platform to automate and accelerate the entire process, demonstrating the real-world impact and maturity of its technology.

This achievement was made possible through the sponsorship of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which issued RegScale's Authority to Operate (ATO) and submitted it to the FedRAMP Program Management Office. RegScale is now fully listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace. In parallel, RegScale is working on approvals for DoD IL5, which would potentially allow reciprocity across the Department of Defense, allowing mission owners to accelerate adoption of the RegScale platform.

RegScale achieved FedRAMP High in just six months, compared to the industry average of 18-24 months. During the assessment process, the security team completed their work with 95% less effort, requiring only three full-time employees and 90 hours compared to the 10+ FTEs and hundreds to thousands of hours typical of traditional manual methods. 

The team leveraged its AI-powered RegML engine to write and implement all 410 required controls in just two weeks, a task that normally takes a six-person team more than three months. As a result, RegScale achieved over 50% cost savings compared to standard FedRAMP efforts.

"Most companies our size don't even attempt to pursue FedRAMP Moderate, let alone achieve FedRAMP High," said Travis Howerton, Co-Founder and CEO of RegScale. "We set out to prove that risk and compliance can be real-time, cost-effective, and scalable, without sacrificing security. With this authorization, we're ready to support the most secure missions across the government that are in dire need of efficiency and modernization while supporting the highest levels of assurance and security."

RegScale prioritized FedRAMP High from the beginning, treating it not as an aspirational goal but as a foundational security architecture decision. Using its own CCM platform and incorporating Compliance as Code and AI, RegScale integrated compliance into day-to-day development operations and CI/CD pipelines, providing real-time visibility, maintaining control and transparency on every change, tracking our SBOM on every build, and making security a continuous, automated function of its delivery pipeline.

"Achieving FedRAMP High Authorization is a significant validation of RegScale's commitment to building the industry's most robust GRC solution," said Art Coviello, Chairman of the Board for RegScale. "Few companies at this stage reach this level of trust and technical maturity. This milestone reflects the strength of the platform and positions RegScale to accelerate growth across all markets."

This milestone demonstrates RegScale's leadership in executing the federal government's FedRAMP 20x initiative. Designed to simplify the authorization process and eliminate redundant work, FedRAMP 20x promotes increased automation, machine-readable validations, and real-time control monitoring. RegScale's approach reflects these priorities, showing what's possible when risk and compliance automation is built into the fabric of secure software development driving security by design and Zero Trust principles.

With FedRAMP High Authorization in place, RegScale will continue to scale rapidly across federal, defense, and state/local agencies, delivering a proven platform for faster ATOs, lower compliance costs, real-time risk assessments, and stronger operational resilience. For organizations with more stringent security requirements or those needing isolation for government-only customers, RegScale also offers a dedicated GovCloud environment hosted by FedHIVE.
