1Kosmos has achieved FedRAMP High Authorization for its phishing-resistant identity verification platform, reaching the highest level of compliance under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program. The designation enables federal agencies and critical infrastructure providers to deploy the platform for safeguarding their most sensitive unclassified data.
Rigorous Certification for Secure Access
The FedRAMP High status follows a comprehensive assessment process that evaluated 421 security controls, including advanced cryptography, automated flaw remediation, personnel screening, and boundary protection. The certification confirms the platform’s ability to mitigate severe cybersecurity risks, including those that could result in mission failure or institutional harm.
This milestone comes shortly after 1Kosmos received Level 2 Biometric Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) certification, reinforcing its credibility in secure digital identity solutions. With the FedRAMP High authorization, the platform is now cleared to support sensitive applications across law enforcement, national security, financial, and healthcare systems.
The authorization aligns with recent mandates from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) calling for enhanced cloud security across the federal landscape.
Unique Position in the Identity Market
1Kosmos is currently the only Kantara-certified full-service credential service provider (CSP) platform to achieve FedRAMP High status. This places it in a unique position to support digital identity initiatives at the highest level of government and infrastructure security. The company’s platform already integrates with major enterprise systems, including Microsoft Entra ID, and supports advanced authentication models such as biometric-based shared account access.
The company also holds several other certifications and designations, including NIST 800-63-3 compliance, FIDO2, ISO 27001, SOC II Type 2, and PAD Level 2 based on ISO/IEC 30107-1 and -3 standards. These validations position 1Kosmos as a trusted provider in a landscape where cloud-based identity security is increasingly prioritized.
For critical infrastructure providers and federal entities, the FedRAMP High authorization offers a pre-vetted path to compliance with national cybersecurity expectations while leveraging a platform designed to resist phishing, fraud, and identity-based attacks.
