FedRAMP High

A concrete path to FedRAMP High for VIDIZMO Products, backed by a specific implementation timeline.

What It Is

FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) is the U.S. government’s standardized approach to security assessment and authorization for cloud products used by federal agencies. FedRAMP High is the highest impact-level authorization, required for the most sensitive federal workloads.

What FedRAMP High Majorly Requires

  • Full implementation of the NIST SP 800-53 High control baseline: hundreds of security controls across access, audit, encryption, and incident response.
  • Continuous monitoring: ongoing vulnerability scanning and reporting to the authorizing body, not a one-time assessment.
  • Independent assessment by a certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO).
  • A named agency sponsor, or the FedRAMP Joint Authorization Board, to actually issue the Authorization to Operate (ATO).

How VIDIZMO Supports It

VIDIZMO does not hold an independent FedRAMP ATO. There are two paths to FedRAMP High coverage for a DEMS deployment:

  • Microsoft Azure Government Cloud: if you already run, or want to self-host VIDIZMO in, your own Azure Government Cloud environment, that infrastructure is already FedRAMP High authorized. Extending that authorization to VIDIZMO’s application layer still requires your agency to sponsor it.
  • ProjectHost-authorized environment: covers both infrastructure and application-level authorization. Does not require agency sponsorship. Typically delivered in 3 to 4 months, at additional cost.

Scope & Limitations

Neither path means VIDIZMO independently holds a FedRAMP ATO. The Azure Government Cloud path requires an agency sponsor before VIDIZMO’s application layer is covered; the ProjectHost path removes that dependency but adds cost and a 3 to 4 month timeline.

FAQ

FedRAMP High, asked and answered

Does VIDIZMO hold its own FedRAMP High authorization?
No. VIDIZMO does not hold its own FedRAMP authorization; DEMS is deployable on FedRAMP High-authorized infrastructure and its processes and software are aligned with NIST SP 800-53.

What are the two paths to a FedRAMP High deployment for DEMS?
You can deploy on Microsoft Azure Government Cloud, which is FedRAMP High authorized but requires agency sponsorship, or through Project Hosts, a FedRAMP-authorized hosting partner that covers both infrastructure and application authorization without needing agency sponsorship.

How long does the Project Hosts path take?
Project Hosts delivery typically takes 3-4 months and comes at additional cost, but it removes the need for an agency to sponsor the authorization.

Do we need our own agency sponsorship to get to FedRAMP High?
Only for the Azure Government Cloud path, which requires agency sponsorship. The Project Hosts path does not require agency sponsorship.

What compliance controls does the Azure Government Cloud path support?
Beyond FedRAMP High, Azure Government Cloud supports NIST SP 800-53, FIPS 140-3, CJIS, DoD Impact Levels 4/5 (IL4/IL5), and IRS 1075.

Is this FedRAMP High path specific to DEMS or does it apply to other VIDIZMO products?
This particular path is documented for DEMS; VIDIZMO's other products (EnterpriseTube, Redactor, AI Intelligence Hub, AI Live Insight) are also built to be deployable on FedRAMP High-authorized infrastructure, but VIDIZMO does not hold its own FedRAMP authorization for any product.
