Building on its FedRAMP certification, BigID advances its commitment to securing sensitive government data and enabling trusted AI adoption.
BigID, a leader in data security, privacy, and AI governance, today announced that its federal offering has achieved FedRAMP High status through its partnership with Knox Systems, marking a significant milestone in its commitment to the U.S. public sector.
Building on BigID’s previously announced FedRAMP certification, this milestone expands the company’s ability to support federal agencies with stringent security requirements, including those managing highly sensitive and mission-critical information.
Through Knox Systems’ FedRAMP High certified managed platform, BigID brings advanced data discovery, classification, data security posture management (DSPM), and AI governance capabilities to federal environments.
As agencies accelerate cloud modernization and AI adoption, they face a fundamental challenge: protecting sensitive information across increasingly complex data environments.
BigID helps agencies understand what sensitive data they have, where it lives, who and what can access it, and where risk exists, so they can take action.
What FedRAMP High Means for Federal Agencies
FedRAMP High represents the most rigorous of the traditional FedRAMP security impact baselines, designed for cloud systems where a security compromise could have severe or catastrophic consequences.
Knox Systems’ FedRAMP High Managed Platform is listed in the FedRAMP Marketplace as FedRAMP Certified, Class D (High), providing a certified environment for eligible federal deployments of BigID.
For agencies across civilian government, defense, and national security, this provides an additional path to adopting advanced data security and AI governance capabilities while meeting demanding federal security requirements.
From Data Visibility to Data Security
Federal agencies manage vast amounts of sensitive information, including Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI), and mission-critical data.
Protecting that information requires more than knowing where it resides. Agencies need to understand access, exposure, risk, and how sensitive information moves across their environments.
BigID enables agencies to:
- Discover and classify sensitive data: Identify CUI, PII, PHI, secrets, and mission-critical information across structured and unstructured environments.
- Reduce data exposure: Find overexposed sensitive data, excessive permissions, and risky access patterns, then prioritize remediation.
- Strengthen Zero Trust: Connect data sensitivity with identity, access, and activity intelligence to support least-privilege strategies.
- Secure and govern AI: Understand which sensitive data is accessible to AI applications, copilots, and agents, and identify potential exposure.
- Automate compliance: Support NIST 800-53, FISMA, CMMC, and other federal requirements through consistent classification, policy enforcement, and audit evidence.
By connecting data discovery with risk intelligence and remediation, BigID helps federal agencies move from fragmented visibility to actionable data security.
Securing the Next Generation of Federal AI
As federal agencies expand their use of generative AI and autonomous agents, sensitive data is becoming an increasingly important part of the AI security equation.
AI systems introduce new access paths to government information. Without visibility into the underlying data, agencies risk exposing sensitive information through models, applications, copilots, and agents.
BigID helps federal organizations establish a stronger foundation for AI security by identifying sensitive data, understanding who and what can access it, and applying governance across the AI ecosystem.
This enables agencies to accelerate AI innovation while maintaining greater control over the data that powers it.
Advancing BigID’s Commitment to Federal Security
“Federal agencies are being asked to move faster with AI while protecting some of the nation’s most sensitive information,” said [Executive Name, Title], BigID. “Achieving FedRAMP High status through our partnership with Knox Systems is an important step in helping agencies meet both priorities. We’re giving federal teams the visibility, intelligence, and controls they need to secure their data and adopt AI with confidence.”
This milestone builds on BigID’s growing public sector presence and its work supporting federal organizations, including the U.S. Army, with sensitive data discovery, classification, security, and governance.
As government agencies modernize their infrastructure and expand AI adoption, BigID remains focused on delivering the data intelligence and security capabilities needed to protect critical information and support mission readiness.
Because securing the mission starts with securing the data.
