BigID Achieves FedRAMP Certification with Knox Systems Partnership
Certification authorizes federal use of BigID’s platform to manage sensitive data, support Zero Trust, and govern AI under federal security requirements
BigID, the leader in data security, privacy, and AI governance, today announced it has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) certification in partnership with Knox Systems (Knox), the largest federal AI-managed cloud provider. This milestone authorizes U.S. federal agencies to use BigID’s platform to discover, classify, and protect sensitive data across cloud, on-prem, and AI environments under rigorous federal security standards.

FedRAMP certification confirms that BigID meets the rigorous security, risk management, and operational requirements necessary to support federal mission systems. BigID delivers deep visibility into regulated, and high-risk data types, helping agencies enforce consistent controls across legacy systems, modern cloud platforms, and emerging AI pipelines. Its AI-driven discovery and classification capabilities reduce manual effort while improving accuracy at scale.
“Federal agencies are under growing pressure to secure sensitive data while adopting AI responsibly,” said Dimitri Sirota, CEO and co-founder of BigID. “FedRAMP certification means agencies can now use BigID to understand where their data lives, how it is used and how AI interacts with it, while meeting the highest federal security standards.”
With FedRAMP certification, federal agencies can use BigID to:
- Discover and classify Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Protected Health Information (PHI) and other sensitive data across federal data environments
- Support Zero Trust architectures by enabling identity-aware data visibility and least-privilege access decisions
- Reduce data exposure and attack surface through continuous data security posture management
- Govern AI and machine learning systems by identifying training data sources, monitoring data usage, and assessing downstream risk
- Enforce federal data minimization, retention, and disposition requirements through automated remediation workflows
- Support compliance with federal mandates and guidance, including NIST, OMB, and agency-specific security requirements
- Consolidate data security, privacy, and AI governance capabilities into a single FedRAMP-authorized platform
With support from Knox, BigID significantly reduced its compliance timelines and costs – enabling federal agencies to adopt its AI and data security platform under the highest federal standards sooner.
