Fortinet achieves GovRAMP security authorization

Fortinet announced that its FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services and FortiCare Services have achieved GovRAMP (formerly StateRAMP) authorization at a moderate impact level. This certification validates Fortinet’s compliance with stringent cybersecurity standards required to support U.S. state and local government agencies and educational institutions.

The GovRAMP designation ensures Fortinet’s services meet standardized security frameworks, including the NIST 800-53 Rev. 4, and that the company passed an independent audit by a third-party assessing organization.

John Whittle, Chief Operating Officer at Fortinet, stated that the certification reflects the company’s commitment to delivering trusted security solutions for the public sector, providing robust threat intelligence and support to improve response times and risk mitigation.

Leah McGrath, Executive Director of GovRAMP, commended Fortinet for meeting high standards of risk reduction and cybersecurity resilience.

Fortinet's FortiGuard services integrate threat intelligence from global sensors and research teams, enabling detection of sophisticated cyber threats. FortiCare Services offer 24/7 support with over 1,900 global experts, aiding government organizations in the deployment and maintenance of Fortinet solutions.

Fortinet is also planning to pursue FedRAMP certification to further expand its support for federal entities.
