Datadog Achieves FedRAMP High Certification for Observability and Security Platform

Datadog, Inc., a prominent provider of AI-powered observability and security solutions, has successfully secured the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP®) High certification for its specialized platform, Datadog for Government. This significant achievement, announced on May 27, 2026, in partnership with Carahsoft Technology Corp., underscores Datadog's commitment to meeting the rigorous security standards mandated by the U.S. Federal Government for cloud-based services. The FedRAMP High certification is crucial for government agencies, as it provides the assurance needed to deploy and operate cloud solutions in environments handling highly sensitive, unclassified data. Datadog's platform offers comprehensive, end-to-end observability and security capabilities, delivering real-time visibility and actionable insights across complex government IT infrastructures. This enables agencies to not only monitor performance but also to strengthen their overall security posture by identifying and managing risks effectively within a unified solution. According to Emilio Escobar, CISO at Datadog, this certification places Datadog among an elite group of technology companies authorized to operate in highly sensitive federal settings. It reinforces Datadog's leadership in cloud security and compliance, setting a new benchmark for observability platforms within regulated sectors. The platform's comprehensive dashboards and intelligent alerts empower government teams to proactively detect and resolve potential issues before they can disrupt mission-critical operations or impact citizen services. This certification is expected to facilitate the adoption of modern observability, faster incident response, and enhanced operational visibility within previously restricted federal environments.
