Vasion Achieves FedRAMP® High Authorization: The Highest Level of FedRAMP Cloud Security Standards

Federal agencies don't have the luxury of taking security risks. The margin for error is zero when the data in question involves veteran healthcare records, law enforcement systems, mission-critical infrastructure, or national security intelligence. That's why the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) exists. And why achieving its highest level of authorization is no small feat.

Vasion is proud to announce that we have achieved FedRAMP High Authorization to Operate (ATO) for print and output management solutions. This milestone, sponsored by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), validates what Vasion has been building toward for nearly a decade: a cloud-native, Intelligent Print Automation platform that meets the federal government's most demanding security requirements.

Not all FedRAMP authorizations are the same. The program operates across three tiers, Low, Moderate, and High, and the gap between Moderate and High isn't a small step; it's a fundamental shift in security rigor.

FedRAMP High requires adherence to 421 NIST 800-53 security controls (96 more than Moderate, a 30% increase in requirements). It demands annual red team penetration testing, semi-annual incident response testing, near real-time monitoring, enhanced personnel vetting, and US persons access requirements. Of the nearly 500 FedRAMP authorized vendors on the marketplace today, fewer than 18% total have achieved High authorization.

For agencies operating at the highest security tiers, FedRAMP High isn't a differentiator, it's a binary gate. Either a vendor has it, or they don't qualify, full stop.

What makes the Vasion platform authorization different from a compliance checkbox is the fact that we didn't build a product and then try to make it FedRAMP High compliant. We made architectural decisions years ago that made this authorization possible: building the platform from the ground up as cloud-native, multi-tenant, and fully immutable.

The practical implications of FedRAMP authorization reach far beyond a marketplace listing:

Faster Procurement Timelines

Agencies that work with FedRAMP High authorized vendors can eliminate six to twelve months of independent security review. The rigorous third-party assessment has already been completed, the controls have been validated, and the full security package (System Security Plans, penetration test results, security assessment reports, continuous monitoring artifacts) is available to agency security teams on request. For procurement officers and ISSOs navigating historically slow buying cycles, that's a structural advantage, not a marginal efficiency gain.

Broader Compliance Coverage

FedRAMP High authorization maps directly to NIST SP 800-53, satisfies FISMA requirements, and aligns closely with CMMC frameworks. For agencies navigating overlapping mandates—M-22-09 Zero Trust requirements, Cloud Smart initiatives, EO 14028 supply chain security—the Vasion authorization can satisfy multiple compliance frameworks simultaneously.

Complete Modernization Solution

Federal agencies have invested heavily in modernizing networks, endpoints, and cloud environments over the last decade. Print infrastructure has largely been left behind: running on legacy print servers, no unified audit trails, no authentication requirements, and no centralized visibility into what leaves the building and when. We’ve seen it before: the push for cloud transformation often breaks down when print servers are outside of Zero Trust Architecture or when AVD deployments hit the print roadblock.

The Vasion serverless print architecture eliminates that attack surface, removes legacy print servers, and applies Zero Trust principles directly to physical document output. And customers using the Vasion platform report a reduction of print-related helpdesk tickets by up to 95%.

Digital transformation that doesn't include print environments isn't complete. For agencies with the most sensitive workloads, it won’t be compliant either. The Vasion FedRAMP High Authorization closes that gap, with a platform purpose-built for the security requirements federal agencies actually face, backed by the government's most rigorous independent validation.

The authorization is live. The security package is available. And for agencies that can't afford to compromise, Vasion is ready.
