We are excited to share that Wiz for Government has achieved FedRAMP® High authorization. This milestone reinforces Wiz’s commitment to helping U.S. public sector organizations securely manage their environments from code to cloud to runtime. This validation makes it easier for government agencies to leverage Wiz to proactively reduce their attack surface and exposure in their mission critical environments.
Meeting the highest FedRAMP security standards
FedRAMP provides a standardized approach to assessing cloud security of private sector solutions. By achieving FedRAMP High, Wiz meets the U.S. government’s rigorous standards for handling FISMA high impact sensitive but unclassified data. Meeting the FedRAMP High baseline requires extensive internal and external security assessments and full compliance with more than 421 controls from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-53 Revision 5 (NIST SP 800-53r5).
Achieving FedRAMP High authorization is about giving federal teams a unified platform to protect their most sensitive cloud environments — through posture management and building securely by design, and reducing noise for more accurate real-time detection of events. With full coverage across Wiz Cloud, Code, and Defend, agencies can focus on their mission, knowing security is handled.

With FedRAMP High authorization, Wiz for Government is validated as meeting the rigorous security standards necessary to safeguard systems that manage highly sensitive, national security and mission-critical government data, ensuring robust confidentiality, integrity, and availability for essential operations, assets, and the privacy of individuals.
Wiz for Government gives Security, Development, Compliance, and Operations teams a unified view of risk across the software development lifecycle, enabling faster, more effective remediation. Leveraging the Wiz Security Graph, this comprehensive code-to-cloud-to-runtime visibility delivers crucial insights to accelerate cloud modernization, support the rapid adoption of AI, and ensure compliance readiness for government agencies.
Purpose-built to support critical missions
Wiz’s FedRAMP High authorization comes a year after Wiz for Government’s initial FedRAMP Moderate designation. The uplift from Moderate to High reflects our continuing dedication to our public sector customers – ensuring they can quickly identify, prioritize, and reduce real risk across sensitive environments.
“Wiz is transforming how organizations approach cloud and AI security. Achieving FedRAMP High will make it easier for our customers to leverage Wiz to protect their critical mission workloads. Our goal is to help the Government create secure cloud environments that accelerate mission readiness securely.”
Ken Kartsen, VP Worldwide Public Sector, Wiz
With the rapid adoption of AI, Wiz’s AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) helps teams quickly inventory AI resources, map access controls, identify posture risks, and enforce policies. This proactive approach uncovers potential AI pipeline misconfigurations and malicious code in AI model data, preventing inadvertent exposure of sensitive information and strengthening AI security posture in highly regulated environments.
Importantly, this FedRAMP High authorization advancement does not require migration to a new environment. All Wiz for Government customers automatically benefit from FedRAMP High, minimizing disruption and accelerating time to value.
A unified approach to cloud security
Wiz for Government delivers real-time visibility, continuous risk assessment, and prioritized remediation across the entire software lifecycle. To meet the need for cross-team alignment and democratized security, the Wiz CNAPP includes three modules: Wiz Cloud, Wiz Code, and Wiz Defend. Together, they unify insights on misconfigurations, network exposure, secrets, vulnerabilities, runtime threats, and identities into a single trusted view.
Wiz Cloud for Government provides teams with full visibility within multi-cloud environments with continuous monitoring to proactively identify and reduce cloud risk.
Wiz Code for Government extends these policies into developer environments, allowing risks to be addressed early in IDEs, VCSs, and CI/CD pipelines.
Wiz Defend for Government adds real-time threat detection and runtime protection via a lightweight eBPF sensor and log ingestion, helping teams accelerate investigation and response.
By consolidating cloud security into one platform, Wiz helps public sector organizations reduce complexity, improve visibility into system and organizational risk, strengthen collaboration across teams, and stay focused on mission needs while meeting compliance requirements.
