Today marks a landmark moment for enterprise content management. WordPress VIP has achieved FedRAMP Moderate Authorization — making us the only secure, compliant WordPress platform for government agencies and regulated enterprises who need the performance, flexibility, and familiarity of WordPress without compromising on security standards.
What FedRAMP Means for Enterprise
FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) is the US government’s standardised approach to security assessment, authorisation, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. Achieving Moderate Authorization is not a checkbox — it’s a rigorous, multi-year process involving independent third-party assessors, continuous monitoring obligations, and ongoing security control validation.
For government agencies, this means they can now run on WordPress VIP with full confidence in compliance. For enterprise customers in regulated industries — financial services, healthcare, legal — FedRAMP authorization signals the highest level of security assurance available for a cloud CMS.
Why This Matters for Content Teams
Legacy government and regulated enterprise websites are often trapped on outdated, expensive platforms that can’t keep pace with modern content demands. Slow publishing workflows, inflexible templates, and bloated vendor contracts have held content teams back for years.
WordPress VIP’s FedRAMP authorization changes that equation entirely. Public agencies and regulated enterprises can now access the world’s most popular CMS — with all the content velocity, editorial flexibility, and ecosystem richness it provides — backed by the compliance assurance their IT and legal teams require.
“This is more than a compliance milestone — it’s about giving government agencies and regulated enterprises the same content agility that the world’s leading media brands already enjoy on WordPress VIP.”
Nick Gernert, CEO, WordPress VIP
The Only Alternative to Legacy Tech
Government digital experience has long lagged behind the private sector. Outdated procurement cycles, monolithic vendor contracts, and lack of developer talent have created a digital divide. WordPress VIP’s FedRAMP authorization represents a new path forward — open source freedom, enterprise-grade security, and the content management tools that modern teams actually want to use.
