FutureFeed and CyberIllumination achieve FedRAMP High Authorized (Class D) status

BALTIMORE, Md., FutureFeed and CyberIllumination, two industry leaders in compliance platforms for the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), have achieved FedRAMP High Authorized (Class D) status, a significant milestone for the platforms that manage sensitive cybersecurity and supply chain compliance data. This certification aligns with the government's highest standard for unclassified systems where a breach could result in severe or catastrophic consequences.

FutureFeed, a platform that ensures NIST 800-171 and CMMC compliance, and CyberIllumination, a compliance visibility platform for supply chain cybersecurity, have undergone rigorous third-party assessments. The authorizations confirm that both platforms meet the stringent security controls required by the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP).

Achieving FedRAMP High Authorization (Class D) is particularly noteworthy as it is among the most rigorous designations available for commercial Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms. According to industry experts, fewer than 10% of compliance platforms reach this level of authorization. For the government contractors, managed service providers (MSPs), managed security service providers (MSSPs), and consultants who rely on FutureFeed and CyberIllumination, this status provides assurance that the platforms handling their sensitive information are up to the highest security standards.

Mark Berman, CEO of FutureFeed, stated, "FutureFeed supports the people responsible for protecting the defense supply chain. Achieving FedRAMP High Authorized (Class D) status reflects the responsibility we accept when customers entrust us with their cybersecurity program information."

Amy Williams, Vice President of CyberIllumination, added, "Compliance obligations flow down every tier of the supply chain. Visibility has not. CyberIllumination, currently in beta, provides primes with a single, accurate view across all tiers, streamlining the process of sharing data and ensuring that suppliers only need to answer the same questions once."

Raymond de Avila, Chief Revenue Officer of Project Hosts, the cloud service provider that helped FutureFeed and CyberIllumination navigate the complexities of FedRAMP, said, "We are proud to have partnered with FutureFeed and CyberIllumination throughout their journey to reach the highest authorization level for sensitive unclassified federal workloads."

FutureFeed offers tools, workflows, and accountability structures to organizations in the DIB, helping them achieve and sustain NIST 800-171 and CMMC compliance. The platform has over 1,400 clients and 350+ partners across the Defense Industrial Base.

CyberIllumination, operated by Continuous Compliance LLC, provides a single view into the supply chain’s cybersecurity posture for primes and a compliance record that can be shared across multiple primes. The platform runs in AWS GovCloud on U.S. soil and is designed to track and share NIST 800-171 and CMMC status with full audit logs of data access.

Project Hosts, a FedRAMP and Department of Defense (DoD)-authorized cloud service provider, has been instrumental in helping FutureFeed and CyberIllumination achieve their FedRAMP High Authorization (Class D) status. Through its FasTrack™ program, the company provides a proven path to FedRAMP authorization, accelerating the path to Authorization to Operate (ATO) while reducing costs and complexity.

The achievement of FedRAMP High Authorization (Class D) by FutureFeed and CyberIllumination marks a significant step in enhancing the security of sensitive information within the Defense Industrial Base. The platforms now provide independent validation that they meet the strictest security standards required by the federal government.
