Kaseya Launches Federal Compliance Process

Cybersecurity and IT management provider Kaseya has committed to seeking FedRAMP authorization, a certification allowing its tech stack to better support federally required compliance demands.

FedRAMP is a government compliance program that provides standardized security assessments and authorizations for cloud programs. Becoming FedRAMP-authorized will allow partners to sell their services to federal agencies. Kaseya's decision helps partners address compliance for MSPs working with the Department of Defense and other federal agencies.

"We've made a multimillion-dollar commitment in pursuit of FedRAMP authorization across our IT Complete platform. This investment ensures that partners Powered by Kaseya will leverage this authorization not only to power their SMB customers without disruption, but also to grow their business — making them more profitable," said Kaseya CEO Fred Voccola. "It will open massive opportunities for them, as it's estimated more than 80,000 organizations will need a CMMC Level 2 certification. We are early adopters in the MSP space for this and are fully committed to making sure our partners have the best chance to achieve the highest levels of success."
