# ZL Technologies Gains FedRAMP Class C Certification

On November 12, 2026, ZL Technologies announced that its ZL Platform had achieved FedRAMP Class C certification, making it eligible for federal agencies evaluating tools to govern unstructured data for AI, records management, search, and eDiscovery. The announcement is a security-assurance and market-access development, not a contract award; agencies and contractors still need to assess the platform against mission requirements and applicable impact-level controls, including compensating controls for High-impact systems.

- Federal buyers can evaluate the certified platform for unstructured-data governance needs supporting AI initiatives, records management, search, and eDiscovery.
- The certification provides a basis for procurement consideration but does not establish agency adoption, contract funding, or a procurement timeline.
- Organizations assessing the platform should match its authorization and any required compensating controls to the impact level of their intended system.
