Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program

FedRAMP

The Highest Standard of Security
in Public Safety

Mark43 is proud to be the only public safety technology provider with both Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Records Management System (RMS) fully authorized at the FedRAMP High security level.

What is FedRAMP High?

FedRAMP High is the U.S. government’s most rigorous cloud security standard for handling sensitive, unclassified information.
Achieving this authorization means our platform has passed extensive, ongoing assessments to ensure your agency’s data is 
safeguarded against today’s most advanced cybersecurity threats.

Why It Matters for Your Agency:

Federal

Mark43 is a FedRAMP-authorized system, which is a legal requirement for all Federal agencies utilizing cloud services.

State & Local

Working with a FedRAMP High partner means you’re adopting the gold standard of government cloud security, the same level of protection trusted at the highest levels of government.

Frequently Asked Questions

It doesn’t matter whether your data is Low, Moderate or High, as a FedRAMP High Cloud service provider, Mark43 can handle it all.

What role does FedRAMP play?

FedRAMP is responsible for defining the processes and criteria that must be met in order for a cloud product or service to receive a FedRAMP authorization. In 2022, recognizing the value that FedRAMP has provided to Federal agencies and to industry, Congress passed the FedRAMP Authorization Act (“the Act”).

What is the FedRAMP Authorization Act?

The Act established FedRAMP within the General Services Administration (GSA) and created a FedRAMP Board to provide input and recommendations to the Administrator of GSA.2. The Act also requires OMB to issue guidance defining the scope of FedRAMP, establishing requirements for the use of the program by Federal agencies, establishing further responsibilities of the FedRAMP Board and the program management office (PMO) at GSA, and generally promoting consistency in the assessment, authorization, and use of secure cloud services by Federal agencies. FedRAMP Authorization Act

Why does FedRAMP matter to law enforcement agencies?

FedRAMP is the U.S. government’s standardized approach to cloud security. It ensures that cloud-native systems meet strict cybersecurity requirements. It ensures that the cloud-based systems they rely on—like RMS, CAD, and evidence management—meet the highest federal standards for data security, integrity, and access control.

  • For federal agencies: FedRAMP High authorization is required by law for handling sensitive, unclassified information.\
  • For state and local agencies: Choosing a FedRAMP High solution means you get the gold standard of government security, protection trusted by national security and intelligence agencies.

Our agency is rated at a Low or Moderate impact level. Can we still use a FedRAMP High solution like Mark43?

Absolutely. Agencies at Low or Moderate levels can still adopt FedRAMP High solutions, and you actually gain more security value by doing so. Operating at a High authorization level gives you enhanced protections and future-proofs your investment as requirements evolve.

Do you have a moderate version of your solution?

No. We believe your agency deserves the highest protection, regardless of your impact level. With Mark43, you always get the full FedRAMP High authorization, meaning stronger security without added cost or complexity.

Other vendors say they’re on AWS GovCloud with FedRAMP High. Doesn’t that mean their software is also FedRAMP High?

No. This is one of the most common misconceptions. FedRAMP authorization applies to the application itself—the vendor’s software—not just the underlying cloud infrastructure. While AWS GovCloud (US) is authorized at the FedRAMP High baseline, that status does not automatically extend to every product hosted there. Each vendor must go through the full FedRAMP authorization process for their own system, including implementing controls, undergoing independent assessment, and receiving an Agency ATO or JAB P-ATO.

Mark43 is the only CAD and RMS provider fully authorized at FedRAMP High. This means our entire application—not just the platform it runs on—has been independently tested and authorized at the government’s highest security standard.

How would an agency verify if a vendor is FedRAMP High Authorized?

The easiest way is to check the FedRAMP Marketplace, the official public record of all FedRAMP authorizations. Vendors that are truly authorized at the High baseline will be listed with that designation, along with the authorizing agency or JAB and the package status. Agencies can also request access to the vendor’s authorization package through the Marketplace, which ensures validation by the FedRAMP PMO. If a vendor is not listed at FedRAMP High, their product is not authorized at that level.

How do I get access to Mark43’s FedRAMP package?

We make it straightforward. As a FedRAMP High authorized provider, access to our package begins with a request through the FedRAMP Marketplace. Once the FedRAMP PMO validates the agency’s need, they notify Mark43, and we provide the agency’s designated representative with secure access to our authorization package through our controlled repository.

When is your annual assessment done?

Mark43 undergoes an annual FedRAMP assessment conducted by an accredited Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO). This process reviews our controls, tests our defenses, and validates our compliance.

How do you prove that your systems continuously meet FedRAMP High controls — not just once a year, but every day?

Mark43 undergoes annual FedRAMP assessments by a certified 3PAO, and we also operate under a continuous monitoring model that’s far more rigorous than a one-time audit. Our systems are continuously:

  • Scanned and tested for vulnerabilities and compliance drift
  • Monitored with dashboards that track control implementation by NIST family
  • Validated by independent third parties and automated tooling
