Socure Makes Progress Toward Helping More State and Local Governments Deliver Accurate and Inclusive Identity Verification

“Progressing” status designation marks next step toward full authorization under StateRAMP certification program for cloud security

Socure, the leading provider of digital identity verification and fraud solutions, announced today that its Socure ID+ platform has been added to the State Risk and Authorization Management Program’s (StateRAMP) Progressing Product List after illustrating the core regulatory and industry-defined requirements for StateRAMP compliance.

Socure is now one step closer to achieving authorization status for StateRAMP, a certification program for service providers to verify their compliance with NIST 800-53 standards. The certification helps state and local governments manage third party risk and efficiently verify cloud security.

“Secure digital identity is critical to making government services accessible online while preventing fraud,” said Matt Thompson, senior vice president and general manager of public sector solutions at Socure. “Our pursuit of StateRAMP authorization is a reflection of Socure’s commitment to delivering secure, accurate, and inclusive identity verification solutions in support of the vital missions of state and local government agencies.”

Founded in 2020, StateRAMP provides a standardized approach to cloud security verification and helps state and local governments manage cyber risk while protecting critical data, systems, and infrastructure from cyber-attacks and ransomware. The organization uses independent audits and continuous monitoring to ensure providers remain in compliance.

Only 50 solutions are on the Authorized Product List for StateRAMP, and Socure is one of only 43 that are in the “Progressing” category on their way to full authorization. Socure is the first identity verification and fraud prevention provider to be featured on the StateRAMP Progressing Product List. A full list of Authorized Products is available online.
