SimpliGov Secures FedRAMP High Status to Broaden Federal Reach

The authorization enables government agencies to move beyond legacy systems that function merely as storage, offering instead a framework to manage program lifecycles from initial intake to final payment. By integrating with existing infrastructure, the platform provides teams with real-time visibility into operational bottlenecks, allowing for workflow adjustments without reliance on IT backlogs or third-party consultants. The move also serves as a technical foundation for agencies aiming to deploy AI tools, such as the conversion of legacy PDFs into digital forms.

Jill Schornack, Chief Product and Technology Officer at SimpliGov, noted that the achievement aligns the company’s security standards for federal entities with the rigorous protocols already established for state and local clients. Knox Systems, which manages the largest federal cloud environment, facilitated the process through its specialized authorization framework. According to Knox CEO Irina Denisenko, modernizing government requires deep operational shifts rather than superficial technology layers, and this partnership provides highly regulated agencies the autonomy to manage their own data workflows.
