Kahua, a leading provider of capital program and construction project management information solutions (PMIS), announces that it has earned its Federal Risk Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP^®) renewal status, following a mandated annual audit process. With the sponsorship of the General Services Administration (GSA), Kahua became listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace in 2022.

FedRAMP promotes the adoption of secure cloud services across the federal government by providing a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. FedRAMP empowers federal agencies to use modern cloud technologies, with an emphasis on security and protection of federal information.

This designation provides Kahua government customers confidence that their capital program technology will deliver enhanced security and monitoring capabilities, furthering the digitization for some of the largest programs in the country.

Kahua Chief Technology Officer Collin Whitlatch said cybersecurity is top of mind for all agencies who utilize cloud technology to manage their construction programs.

"The value of the assessment, besides being a requirement, is that it revisits the assessed controls to validate that they are in place and that they are working properly," Whitlatch said. "The artifacts we looked at are from our system housing and protecting live agency data. It's critical that the mechanisms and infrastructure we have in place work the way we have designed them."
