RESTON, Va., May 7, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Axonius Federal Systems (AFS)the U.S. federal subsidiary of Axonius, today announced the initiation of the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP®) Class D (High) certification process for the Axonius Asset Cloud. This effort builds directly on the existing FedRAMP Class C (Moderate) certification, achieved by AFS in April 2025and reflects the growing demand for asset intelligence and Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) from US federal agencies operating in high-impact environments that require the highest level of security controls.
“Many U.S. federal agencies operate in environments where FedRAMP Moderate certification is not sufficient for their asset intelligence and CTEM use cases. Pursuing FedRAMP High certification is about meeting them where their missions require us,” said Jared Vichengrad, SVP and GM of Axonius Federal Systems. “Our FedRAMP experience, combined with direct involvement from agency sponsors, gives us a clear path forward to High certification.”
“FedRAMP High certification requires the most comprehensive security assessment the program offers. Our role as an independent assessor is to verify that each control meets that standard,” said Petar Besalev, EVP Cybersecurity and Compliance Services at A-LIGN. “Based on our involvement with AFS and the maturity of the Axonius Asset Cloud, we are confident in the accuracy they bring to the process.”
A-LIGN is a leading cybersecurity compliance partner and a FedRAMP-accredited Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) that provides independent security assessments for cloud service providers seeking federal clearance. A-LIGN has been engaged to conduct the independent safety assessment for AFS.
As US federal agencies continue to modernize infrastructure and security operations, AFS strengthens the foundational elements needed to function in government cloud ecosystems. This includes improvements to internal controls, platform architecture, security operations and compliance management, aligned with the expectations of US federal customers and partners.
The expanded effort formalizes resources across engineering, security, compliance activities and U.S. federal customer engagement. These teams are focused on strengthening operational consistency, improving audit readiness, and ensuring the Axonius Asset Cloud can support the scale and sensitivity of U.S. federal deployments.
The Axonius Asset Cloud already supports US federal agencies with highly distributed environments and significant operational complexity. Continuous improvements prioritize visibility, reliability, and survivability to help government teams better manage risk, maintain resilience, and support mission outcomes. This investment underscores AFS’s intent to be a long-term partner of the U.S. federal government, prioritizing transparency, security, and alignment with evolving federal requirements.
