Checkmarx, a leading provider of AI-driven application security solutions, has reached a major milestone with its Checkmarx One for Government platform by achieving FedRAMP Ready status at the High Impact Level—the highest and most rigorous baseline for cloud security in federal systems. This achievement underscores Checkmarx’s dedication to delivering secure-by-design solutions for government agencies and reflects its commitment to safeguarding mission-critical workloads. Notably, Checkmarx becomes the first application security (AppSec) platform to reach this level while offering full coverage across the software development lifecycle (SDLC).

The FedRAMP High Ready designation places Checkmarx One for Government on the FedRAMP Marketplace and is backed by a thorough Security Assessment Report (SAR) conducted by an accredited Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO). Although a sponsoring federal agency has yet to be named, this 3PAO-reviewed SAR provides early validation of the platform’s security, positioning Checkmarx for a faster path to full FedRAMP authorization.

The platform’s comprehensive security suite includes:

  • Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
  • Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
  • Malicious Package Detection
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Security
  • Container Security
  • Application Security Posture Management (ASPM)

By aiming for High Impact Level compliance from the start, which incorporates nearly 100 additional security controls compared with Moderate Level, Checkmarx One for Government addresses evolving federal requirements for Zero Trust, cybersecurity resilience, and regulatory compliance.

“Recent federal directives emphasize secure software development, highlighting the critical role of comprehensive application security,” said Checkmarx CEO Sandeep Johri. “Achieving FedRAMP High demonstrates our alignment with these mandates and our commitment to protecting the most security-sensitive government applications, while continuing to deliver value to private-sector clients. We are proud to offer the only FedRAMP High AppSec platform available to federal agencies.”

Application Security Posture Management (ASPM), a key feature of the platform, enables developers to prioritize and address vulnerabilities efficiently. By providing a unified view of security risks across applications, ASPM helps organizations manage vulnerabilities proactively, maintain compliance, and strengthen security throughout the software lifecycle.
