WORDPRESS VIP STRENGTHENS CLOUD-BASED CMS FOR GOVERNMENT WITH FEDRAMP® MODERATE AUTHORIZATION TO OPERATE (ATO)

Certification enables public sector agencies to adopt WordPress—the world's most popular and easiest-to-use CMS—into their content and publishing workflows

SAN FRANCISCO, April 8, 2025 -- WordPress VIP, the enterprise-grade, WordPress-based content management system (CMS) for large enterprise organizations, media brands, and public sector agencies, today announced that it has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP®) authorization at the Moderate impact level. With this authorization, it's now simple for federal agencies to adopt WordPress VIP without the need for further diligence. The WordPress VIP CMS solution offers a rich ecosystem of tools and plug-ins, provides efficiencies by eliminating duplicative efforts, supports 508 accessibility standards, and has a robust pool of talent who are experts at using WordPress technology.

FedRAMP is a government-wide program that promotes the adoption of secure cloud services across the federal government by providing a rigorous approach to security and risk assessment for cloud technologies and federal agencies. FedRAMP was created to empower agencies to use modern cloud technologies while securing and protecting government information. The program establishes a public-private partnership to support innovation and advance more secure information technologies.

WordPress VIP is the only WordPress platform to achieve a FedRAMP Moderate Authorization, enabling the federal government to accelerate the adoption of cloud computing for its CMS solutions and reduce duplicative efforts, inconsistencies, and cost inefficiencies.

"Achieving our initial FedRAMP LI-SAAS status in 2021 was only the start of our commitment to helping government agencies easily publish content at scale, safely, and securely," says WordPress VIP CTO Brian Alvey. "Our solutions are used by government agencies like WhiteHouse.gov, the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA), and NASA, and we are incredibly proud of their confidence in WordPress VIP to run their platforms. Gaining FedRAMP Moderate ATO status opens the door for even more government agencies to take full advantage of the flexibility, ubiquity, and ease-of-use that WordPress VIP offers."
