FedRAMP is the U.S. government program that provides a trusted and standardized approach to security and risk assessment for cloud technologies that support federal agencies. The rigorous authorization process requires an in-depth examination of BetterUp for Government’s data security and data governance capabilities, as well as the security practices of its cloud services. BetterUp has partnered with a U.S. Federal agency to obtain a FedRAMP Moderate Authorization.
“The U.S. Federal Government has incredibly high standards for cloud technologies, which is why the FedRAMP Marketplace is the sole source for all federal agencies seeking trusted solutions,” said Rob Smith, General Manager of Government at BetterUp. “As BetterUp moves forward on the path to full FedRAMP authorization, we’re one step closer to supporting federal, state and local government teams in reaching peak performance and human transformation at meaningful scale through world-class coaching, powered by AI and behavioral science.”
Trust and security are critical to how BetterUp operates and delivers transformational solutions for its customers. This milestone builds on the company’s existing security program, which is already in compliance with ISO 27001, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and AICPA’s Service Organization Control 2 (SOC 2) Type II reporting requirements. These certifications uniquely demonstrate BetterUp’s commitment to continuously improve its private data governance, security and compliance programs to support both private and public sector customers.
