FutureFeed, CyberIllumination say they reached FedRAMP High authorization
FutureFeed and CyberIllumination said they achieved FedRAMP High Authorized status after third-party assessments, according to a Sept. 1 PR Newswire release.
FutureFeed and CyberIllumination said on Sept. 1 that both platforms reached FedRAMP High Authorized status, a designation the release described as the federal government's highest cloud security bar for sensitive unclassified systems.
The companies said the authorization is important because federal contractors and defense suppliers handle sensitive cybersecurity information and compliance data across many organizations. FutureFeed said the status covers a platform used to manage NIST 800-171 and CMMC work, while CyberIllumination said its service gives primes and subcontractors a shared view of supply chain cybersecurity posture.
Context and background
According to the release, Class D aligns with the historical FedRAMP High baseline. The announcement said the authorizations followed independent, third-party assessments of the security controls protecting each platform.
FutureFeed said it serves the Defense Industrial Base and has more than 1,400 clients and 350-plus partners across that sector. The company said its platform helps organizations manage system security plans, risk assessments and audit-ready evidence tied to NIST 800-171 and CMMC.
The release described CyberIllumination as a compliance visibility platform for Defense Industrial Base primes and subcontractors. It said the product lets suppliers authorize one set of data for multiple primes instead of responding to the same questions for each customer, and that it tracks and shares compliance status across prime and subcontractor relationships. The release said CyberIllumination is currently in beta and operates under Continuous Compliance LLC.
What officials said
Mark Berman, CEO of FutureFeed, said the company supports people responsible for protecting the defense supply chain and that the authorization reflects the responsibility they accept when customers place cybersecurity program information in its care.
Amy Williams, vice president of CyberIllumination, said compliance obligations flow down every tier of the supply chain, visibility has not, and that FedRAMP High is the standard the data belongs under.
Raymond de Avila, chief revenue officer of Project Hosts, said his company partnered with FutureFeed and CyberIllumination to help them navigate FedRAMP and reach the highest authorization level for sensitive unclassified federal workloads.
What happens next
The release pointed readers to futurefeed.co, cyberillumination.us and projecthosts.com for more information. It did not say whether the companies plan further announcements tied to the authorizations.
