Asana Takes Big Step Forward with Regulated Industries by Announcing Commitment to FedRAMP Authorization

At Asana, we're constantly evolving to meet the needs of more than 150,000 companies worldwide who trust us to keep their data safe. Organizations in healthcare, financial services, and government agencies are challenged to meet strict compliance, security, and privacy standards amid complex work environments, making it difficult to select a platform that helps move work forward to achieve company goals, while meeting strict regulatory standards. 

Pursuing FedRAMP Authorization to Support Regulated Industries

That’s why we're excited to announce our commitment to FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) authorization. This initiative adds to our existing compliance, security, and privacy efforts to meet the needs of our customers in regulated industries.

FedRAMP is the gold standard in cloud security for the U.S. government, but its impact goes beyond just federal agencies. By pursuing FedRAMP authorization, we're demonstrating our ability to meet the stringent security and privacy requirements of not just federal customers, but also enterprises in healthcare, finance, and other regulated sectors globally.

Enhancing Security, Privacy, and Compliance for Our Customers

FedRAMP authorization will bring numerous benefits to our customers in highly regulated industries including:

Enhanced security and trust: Achieving FedRAMP authorization will increase Asana's already robust security measures, instilling further confidence in our ability to protect sensitive data. This is particularly crucial for organizations dealing with confidential information and strict regulatory requirements.

Expanded access: For our customers working with or aspiring to work with U.S. federal agencies, FedRAMP authorization will open new doors. It will enable these organizations to use Asana for government projects, knowing that we meet the necessary compliance standards.

Ease of meeting or exceeding global standards: The rigorous requirements of FedRAMP often meet or exceed expectations in many areas of security and privacy. This means that achieving FedRAMP authorization empowers our customers across various regulated industries worldwide to satisfy their own compliance needs.

The Three Stages to Achieving FedRAMP Authorization

Our path to FedRAMP authorization involves several key steps:

1. Specialized offerings: We'll create specialized offerings that cater to the needs of government agencies and highly regulated industries. This will include enhanced security features that still maintain the core functionality and ease-of-use that makes Asana indispensable for understanding who is doing what by when, tracking progress against goals, and reporting outcomes across the organization.

2. Rigorous assessment and authorization: We'll be undergoing thorough evaluations to ensure our systems, processes, and documentation meet FedRAMP's strict standards. This comprehensive review will further strengthen security for all of our customers.

3. Continuous improvements: As part of maintaining FedRAMP compliance, we'll continue to identify opportunities to improve compliance, security, and privacy across the platform to meet the needs of our most highly regulated customers.

We’re deeply committed to providing a secure, compliant, and innovative work management platform that can meet the needs of organizations across all sectors. As we pursue FedRAMP authorization, we're excited about the opportunity to tailor our solutions to better meet the needs of organizations in government, financial services, and healthcare industries.

We'll keep you updated on our progress and look forward to bringing the power of Asana to help even more teams around the world work smarter.
