Cellebrite Launches FedRAMP Authorization Process to Provide Enhanced Cloud Security

Cellebrite , a provider of digital investigative solutions for the public and private sectors, has launched the process to authorize its software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings with the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP).

The authorization will enable Cellebrite’s federal customers to leverage their use of the company’s SaaS solutions, support faster and more cost-effective procurement processes, eliminate duplicative assessment efforts, and ensure consistent application of information security standards, the company said. FedRAMP authorization ensures a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services.

Celebrate Collaborates with Coalfire for Cybersecurity

As part of this process, Cellebrite selected cybersecurity services pioneer Coalfire to support the activities required to complete this process, which is planned to be completed within the next 12 months.

Cellebrite said more than 70% of FedRAMP-authorized providers turn to Coalfire for their assessment and advisory needs. Coalfire has earned a reputation for bringing cloud service providers, including the world’s largest clouds according to Cellebrite, to audit-ready status in record time.

Operating in one of the highest-regulated industries globally, Cellebrite’s collaboration with Coalfire will build on Cellebrite’s security practices and help ensure its SaaS solutions will be held to the highest standard of security and data compliance, Cellebrite said.

Cellebrite said it chose Coalfire for its track record in guiding customers through every phase of the FedRAMP journey and its deep cloud engineering expertise, with 100% of its submitted builds passing FedRAMP 3PAO (Third Party Assessment Organization) audit to date.

“Cellebrite’s solutions currently support an extensive range of U.S. federal agencies . Investing in FedRAMP authorization demonstrates our commitment to ensuring that our customers can augment their current investment in Cellebrite technology by harnessing the power of the cloud through high-value, SaaS-based offerings with the highest levels of security and reliability,” said Ronnen Armon, chief products and technologies officer, Cellebrite. “With Coalfire, we are well-positioned to bring SaaS to our customers with assured strength, resilience, and compliance.”
