MongoDB Announces Commitment to Achieve FedRAMP High and Impact Level 5 Authorizations

With upgraded authorization, soon federal agencies with security requirements at every level will be able to use MongoDB to deploy, run, and scale modern applications in the cloud , /PRNewswire/ -- MongoDB, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDB) today announced its commitment to pursuing Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High and Impact Level 5 (IL5) authorizations for MongoDB Atlas for Government workloads, which will expand its eligibility to manage unclassified, yet highly sensitive, U.S. public sector data. With FedRAMP High authorization, even the most critical government agencies looking to adopt cloud and AI technologies—and to modernize aging, inefficient legacy databases—can rely on MongoDB Atlas for Government for secure, fully managed workloads. MongoDB Atlas for Government already provides a flexible way for the U.S. public sector to deploy, run, and scale modern applications in the cloud within a dedicated environment built for FedRAMP Moderate workloads. Achieving FedRAMP High and IL5 will allow MongoDB Atlas for Government's secure, reliable, and high-performance modern database solutions to be used to manage high-impact data, such as in emergency services, law enforcement systems, financial systems, health systems, and any other system where loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability could have a severe or catastrophic adverse effect on organizational operations, organizational assets, or individuals. "The federal agencies that manage highly sensitive data involving the protection of life and financial ruin should be using the latest, fastest, and best database technology available," said Benjamin Cefalo, Senior Vice President of Product Management at MongoDB. "MongoDB is trusted by 13 U.S. Federal Cabinet-level agencies, every branch of the Department of Defense, and a wide range of Intelligence Community partners. Agencies such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are building applications powered by Atlas for Government to solve their most challenging data requirements. With FedRAMP High and IL5 authorizations for MongoDB Atlas for Government workloads, they will be able to take advantage of MongoDB's industry-leading and proprietary Queryable Encryption, multi-cloud flexibility and resilience, high availability with automated backup, data recovery options, and on-demand scaling, and native vector search to facilitate building AI applications." MongoDB Atlas for Government already helps hundreds of public sector agencies nationwide develop secure, modern, and scalable solutions. An integral feature of MongoDB Atlas for Government is MongoDB Queryable Encryption. This industry-first, in-use encryption technology enables organizations to encrypt sensitive data that helps organizations protect sensitive data when it is queried and in use on Atlas for Government. With Queryable Encryption, sensitive data remains protected throughout its lifecycle, whether it is in-transit, at-rest, in-use, and in logs and backups. It is only ever decrypted on the client-side. For example, the State of Utah, which has one of the nation's fastest-growing populations, chose MongoDB Atlas for Government to store its state benefit eligibility data. To meet a statewide mandate set by the governor of Utah, the State of Utah's Department of Technology Services needed to migrate its eligibility software out of its physical data center to a FedRAMP-compliant cloud solution. The state government administration recognized it needed a backend database that could reliably handle large documents and deliver results quickly, which led it to identify MongoDB Atlas for Government as an ideal solution. The migration resulted in a 25% increase in speed of benefits calculations and document returns, reduced management time, and a 5-minute point-in-time recovery, compared to a recovery time of up to 58 hours when running on premises. "It's much less cumbersome to maintain our databases now that we're using the fully managed MongoDB Atlas for Government. We tried some other solutions, but they could not match MongoDB," said Manoj Gangwar, Principal Data Architect at the Department of Technology Services for the State of Utah.
