We are excited to share that Wiz for U.S. Government (Wiz for Gov) has officially achieved GovRAMP High authorization. This milestone makes it easier for U.S. public sector organizations to securely manage their environments from code to runtime.
Meeting the highest GovRAMP security baseline
GovRAMP provides a standardized approach to assessing and authorizing cloud security for state organizations. By achieving GovRAMP High authorization, Wiz for Gov is validated against the NIST SP 800-53r5 security controls required to safeguard highly sensitive state data and critical infrastructure.
For public sector IT and security leaders wanting to do business with local, state government, and higher education, this accreditation provides assurance that Wiz meets the highest cybersecurity standards required across state procurement processes. This "verify once, serve many" approach provides a clear, standardized approach for governments to evaluate, adopt, and manage secure cloud solutions, while aligning procurement and reducing risk, allowing states to confidently adopt cloud security faster.
A unified approach to cloud security for state agencies
IT teams face the growing challenge of balancing rapid digital transformation and protecting citizen data with the need to maximize taxpayer value. Wiz replaces fragmented point solutions with a single Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) built for modern government operations.
With Wiz for Gov, Security, Development, Compliance, and Operations teams gain a single, trusted view of risk to:
Connect in minutes: Gain immediate, full-stack visibility across multi-cloud environments, including virtual machines, containers, serverless, on-premises, and AI services, quickly eliminating blind spots within cloud environments and normalizing data across disparate systems.
Prioritize real risk: The Wiz Security Graph correlates vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, identities, network exposures, and secrets to highlight the critical attack paths that actually put state systems at risk.
Automate compliance activities: Eliminate tedious manual evidence collection and disjointed scanning across your cloud environments with continuous risk assessment from code-to-cloud-to runtime, with built-in reporting and GRC platform integrations for accelerating ATO processes.
Secure AI initiatives: Discover shadow AI, inventory AI models, and secure the full AI-pipeline as state agencies explore AI-driven citizen services, enabling secure, rapid adoption of innovative technologies.
Built for mission readiness
GovRAMP High authorization allows security teams to modernize at speed without compromising data protection. Best of all, existing Wiz for Gov customers automatically benefit from these high-baseline controls without needing to migrate environments or disrupt existing workflows.
