New authorization helps state and local governments accelerate procurement and deployment with confidence

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA), the enterprise AI software company for mission-critical work, today announced Pega Cloud® for Government has achieved GovRAMP Impact High Level status, the highest designation available from this emerging government technology certification program. This provides state and local government clients with independent validation that Pega meets rigorous cloud security and risk management requirements, helping local agencies more quickly procure and deploy it.

Market context: Helping state and local governments move to the cloud

State and local government organizations are modernizing legacy systems and moving more critical operations to the cloud while facing stringent requirements to protect government data. These security requirements can add time and complexity to cloud procurement as agencies assess whether technology providers meet their standards. Similar to FedRAMP for federal agencies, GovRAMP provides a standardized approach for validating each jurisdiction’s cloud security requirements, giving participating government organizations greater confidence when evaluating cloud services.

A Closer Look: Validated for stringent security requirements

To achieve GovRAMP Impact Level High, Pega underwent a comprehensive independent assessment of its security, operational, and compliance practices. The process evaluated controls across areas including access management, data protection, vulnerability management, incident response, continuous monitoring, and risk management.

Pega Cloud for Government provides the workflow automation tools, environments, and operational support government agencies use to modernize applications and improve operations. It connects data and systems across operational silos to help reduce complexity and improve service delivery, while giving agencies the flexibility to scale as requirements change. Pega Cloud for Government is also FedRAMP Class D (High) Certified, the program’s highest security level, for federal workloads involving sensitive data.

Key Terms

fedramp regulatory

FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) is a U.S. government initiative that sets security standards for cloud computing services used by federal agencies. It ensures that these online platforms protect sensitive information, similar to how a security system safeguards a building. For investors, FedRAMP indicates that a cloud service meets strict security requirements, which can influence its reliability and trustworthiness in handling data.

vulnerability management technical

Vulnerability management is the ongoing process of finding, fixing and tracking weak spots in a company’s computer systems and software before attackers exploit them. It matters to investors because unchecked weaknesses can lead to costly breaches, fines, downtime and harm to customer trust — similar to routinely inspecting and repairing locks on a storefront to avoid break-ins and protect future revenue and reputation.

incident response technical

Incident response is the organized process a company uses to detect, investigate, contain and recover from a security breach, data loss, operational outage or other urgent problem. For investors, it shows how quickly a firm can limit financial and reputational damage, restore normal operations and meet legal or disclosure duties — like an emergency crew that protects a building’s value and occupants when a fire breaks out.

continuous monitoring technical

Continuous monitoring is the ongoing collection and review of data or performance signals from systems, products, or processes to detect problems, trends, or compliance issues as they happen. For investors, it matters because it helps companies spot and fix safety, quality, or regulatory problems quickly—like a smoke alarm for operations—reducing surprise costs, regulatory fines, or reputational damage that can affect a company’s value.
