When it comes to digital identity verification, trust is everything—and Persona just earned a major badge of it. The San Francisco-based verified identity platform has officially achieved FedRAMP® Authorized status, joining the ranks of cloud service providers cleared to work with U.S. federal agencies.

This milestone, now listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace, validates that Persona’s platform meets the U.S. government’s strict security and privacy standards after an in-depth third-party assessment. The company’s authorization at the Low Impact level allows it to support agencies where data risks are limited, while its FedRAMP Ready designation at the Moderate Impact level signals plans to expand further into higher-sensitivity operations.

Meeting the Public Sector’s Identity Challenge

Fraud prevention and identity management remain persistent headaches for federal and state agencies—especially as more services go digital. Persona’s authorization arrives as government organizations ramp up modernization efforts to cut waste, reduce fraud, and improve access to critical services.

“There aren’t many identity verification providers that offer the public sector a comprehensive and adaptable identity platform,” said Robert Kozyra, Public Sector GTM Lead at Persona. “Persona’s FedRAMP statuses position us to support federal agencies’ digital transformations while maintaining the security and privacy standards that government operations demand.”

Persona’s modular identity framework is designed to be flexible—agencies can deploy the exact tools they need today and add more later. Its suite covers document verification, biometric checks, fraud detection, and case management—all while integrating with major enterprise systems like Microsoft Entra ID, Cisco Duo, and Okta.

Four Core Government Use Cases

1. Automating onboarding – Persona’s Dynamic Flow system auto-approves or flags user verifications using signals from IDs, selfies, and databases.

2. Stopping fraud before it scales – AI-powered fraud detection models and device/network analysis help detect deepfakes and identify bad actors.

3. Verifying employees and contractors – Persona’s “Know Your Employee” (KYE) process ensures secure onboarding and compliance across systems.

4. Streamlining investigations – Custom case management dashboards integrate with Salesforce, Zendesk, and others for centralized oversight.

Security-First Design

Security and compliance are at the heart of Persona’s pitch. The company employs multi-layered encryption, continuous vulnerability scanning, and third-party audits to protect sensitive government data. Its security stack aligns with federal and global standards like FIPS 140-2, NIST SP 800-53, SOC 2 Type II, and ISO 27001.

Additionally, Persona offers granular data residency controls, giving agencies more oversight into where and how citizen data is stored, accessed, and redacted—an increasingly vital requirement for public-sector modernization.

The Bigger Picture

With governments accelerating digital transformation and the U.S. identity verification market projected to surpass $30 billion by 2030, Persona’s FedRAMP Authorization plants it firmly in the mix of trusted providers shaping the next era of secure government digital identity.

For the public sector, the win goes beyond compliance—it signals a move toward a more frictionless, fraud-resistant digital future.
