Certification validates 1Kosmos for use by federal government and critical infrastructure providers to secure most sensitive unclassified data

1Kosmos, a leader in unifying identity proofing and passwordless authentication, today announced that it has achieved FedRAMP High Authorization, the highest level of security compliance under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). This designation validates that the 1Kosmos platform meets the stringent security requirements necessary to handle the federal government’s most sensitive unclassified data, including law enforcement, national security, financial, and healthcare systems.

The authorization was granted following a rigorous, multi-month assessment process. With 421 required controls—covering advanced cryptography, automated flaw remediation, personnel screening, and boundary protection—FedRAMP High is designed to protect against security breaches that could result in severe or catastrophic effects, including mission failure or irreparable institutional damage.

The 1Kosmos platform is available as part of FedHive’s FedRAMP High Impact offerings. It is the only Kantara-certified full service credential service provider (CSP) platform that also holds a FedRAMP High authorization.

“This milestone reflects our commitment to delivering the highest level of trust, privacy, and assurance to our government and enterprise customers,” said Mike Engle, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of 1Kosmos. “Achieving FedRAMP High enables agencies and critical infrastructure providers to deploy our platform for identity proofing and phishing-resistant authentication with confidence, knowing it meets the most stringent standards for availability, confidentiality, and integrity.”

With FedRAMP High Authorization, federal agencies and contractors can use the 1Kosmos platform to secure high-impact systems without compromising user experience or compliance. 1Kosmos helps agencies modernize digital identity systems and protect against advanced threats like identity impersonation, credential compromise, and account takeover—while ensuring adherence to NIST, FIPS, and Executive Order 14028 mandates.

1Kosmos provides government and critical infrastructure customers the following end-to-end capabilities:

• Unified identity proofing and phishing-resistant authentication in a single, secure solution that verifies users with biometrics and government-issued credentials, applying advanced liveness detection to block deepfakes, bots, and spoofing attempts.
• Unlike traditional methods that rely on passwords or outdated MFA, 1Kosmos authenticates the actual person behind the login—not just what they know or have.
• The platform delivers a frictionless login experience by replacing passwords with biometric-based authenticators that protect against identity theft, account takeovers, and fraud—without compromising usability.

In addition to FedRAMP High, 1Kosmos is also certified to NIST 800-63-3, FIDO2, ISO 27001, SOC II Type 2, and Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) Level 2 in accordance with ISO/IEC 30107-1 and ISO/IEC 30107-3.
