# Proofpoint Pursues FedRAMP High Authorization

Proofpoint announced that it is pursuing FedRAMP High (Class D) authorization for its Data Security and Insider Threat Management capabilities, with completion targeted for 2027. The planned scope includes data security posture management (DSPM), multi-channel data loss prevention (DLP), and insider threat management. This is an authorization roadmap announcement—not a contract award or solicitation—and the offering is intended for federal agencies and defense contractors handling sensitive data, subject to successful authorization.

- Procurement teams evaluating data security or insider-threat capabilities can consider Proofpoint as a prospective option, but should verify its authorization status before relying on it for FedRAMP High workloads.
- The planned capability set spans data discovery and protection across channels as well as insider-threat management, potentially relevant to organizations seeking to address these functions together.
- Contractors serving federal customers can assess whether the planned capabilities align with customer needs; the 2027 target is not a guarantee of authorization or a procurement deadline.
