AppOmni, the leader in SaaS security, officially announced its SaaS Security Platform has been granted Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Moderate Authority to Operate (ATO). This milestone validates AppOmni's position as a trusted partner to the public sector and reinforces the company's commitment to meeting the highest cybersecurity and compliance standards required by the U.S. government. With the CISA issuing a new binding directive (BOD 25-01) on the use of SaaS applications to federal civilian agencies, AppOmni's FedRAMP ATO means agencies can confidently adopt AppOmni's SaaS Security Platform to secure their SaaS ecosystem, meet critical compliance requirements, and optimize data protection across multiple platforms.

AppOmni SaaS Security Platform achieves FedRAMP Authority to Operate (ATO)

What Is FedRAMP and Why Does It Matter to Federal Agencies?

FedRAMP was established in 2011 to promote the adoption of secure cloud services at scale for the U.S. government. It provides a common security framework for all government agencies. Once a cloud security service meets the baseline requirements and is authorized, it can be used by any federal agency. The program increases efficiencies, reduces costs, and encourages innovation through the cultivation of public-private partnerships. FedRAMP authorization represents the highest bar for security certifications, ensuring the most rigorous security standards are met. Moderate ATO certification requires 325 distinct security controls to be satisfied.

Why SaaS Security Is Critical for Federal Agencies

For federal agencies, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms are essential for managing mission-critical data. Data residency and protection for data such as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Protected Health Information (PHI) is paramount within SaaS applications. Because the information is unclassified, yet still sensitive, mishandling it can lead to loss of trust and even legal penalties (e.g., under DFARS for DoD contractors). With Moderate ATO, AppOmni demonstrates that data-at-rest and data-in-transit protections meet federal encryption, key management, and FIPS standards.

AppOmni Exceeds FedRAMP Standards with Advanced SaaS Security Capabilities

AppOmni goes beyond FedRAMP by providing continuous monitoring, threat detection, and integration with compliance frameworks like FISMA and NIST SP 800-53. Its cross-platform approach addresses misconfigurations, data access risks, and compliance gaps, providing federal agencies with the security tools necessary to confidently adopt SaaS technologies.

At this time, there are no other pure play SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) solutions with FedRAMP® Moderate ATO in the market.

How AppOmni Supports Federal SaaS Security and Resilience

“Achieving FedRAMP Moderate ATO is a landmark accomplishment, not just for AppOmni, but for the federal government's SaaS security posture,” said Cory Michal, CISO at AppOmni. “Federal agencies are prime targets for sophisticated cyberattacks, and they require an in-depth level of SaaS security that legacy systems can't provide. AppOmni enables unparalleled visibility and continuous monitoring across the entire SaaS ecosystem, protecting the very fabric of government operations. This authorization underscores our philosophy that secure cloud adoption should empower government agencies and enterprise organizations, not burden them with risk. AppOmni is dedicated to helping agencies protect their most critical data and applications from evolving threats and simplifying the procurement process.”

Combatting OAuth2 Token Threats in Government SaaS Applications

The cyber threat landscape for government agencies is increasingly perilous. Recently, cybercriminal group Salt Typhoon has been seen infiltrating government M365 applications using stolen OAuth2 tokens – the digital credentials that grant third-party applications access to user resources without passwords. This type of supply chain attack highlights the systemic SaaS risks that leaders are urging the industry to address, as JPMC CISO Pat Opet called for at this year's RSA Conference. With a Moderate ATO, AppOmni is answering that call.

The ATO also comes at a critical time as federal agencies work to comply with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's (CISA) Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 25-01. The deadline for implementing mandatory Secure Cloud Business Applications (SCuBA) policies was June 20, 2025. AppOmni is a FedRAMP ATO designated SaaS security platform providing M365 SCuBA compliance checks. Agencies can complete compliance checks and meet 50+ directives for Microsoft AAD (Entra ID), SharePoint, Exchange Online, and Teams applications out of the box. Agencies can access a complimentary SCuBA compliance assessment to simplify policy alignment with instant visibility for actionable insights into SaaS security risks, secure baselines to protect sensitive data with aligned configurations and maintain continuous, ongoing compliance with CISA's directive.
