FedRAMP-Authorized Qualys Cloud & Government Platform
Accelerate ATO. Inherit Controls. Reduce Risk at Scale. One Authorized Boundary.
Qualys’ FedRAMP-authorized boundaries include tightly integrated capabilities that help federal agencies and partners accelerate compliance, reduce cyber risk, and streamline security operations. By operating within the Qualys platform, organizations inherit pre-validated NIST 800-53 controls, cutting months from Authorization to Operate (ATO) timelines while consolidating vulnerability management, compliance monitoring, asset discovery, and security operations into a single risk management platform.
Proven FedRAMP Track Record
FedRAMP High is designed for systems handling high-impact, sensitive unclassified data, where confidentiality, integrity, and availability failures would have severe consequences.
- FedRAMP Moderate Authorized since 2016 – the Qualys Cloud Platform has supported agencies and regulated enterprises for nearly a decade.
- FedRAMP High Authorized in 2025 – the Qualys Government Platform meets the most rigorous federal requirements, validated through independent third-party assessment and continuous monitoring of 400+ NIST 800-53 High controls
What You Inherit by Using Qualys
- Control inheritance at scale – hundreds of validated security controls reduce POA&Ms and audit scope.
- Unified risk management – vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, assets, and compliance signals prioritized together, not in silos.
