Socure Leverages GovRAMP to Enhance Digital Identity Verification

Why did your organization decide to become a GovRAMP member?

The public sector needs secure, safe, and effective digital identity verification. We became a GovRAMP member because achieving GovRAMP Authorization is critical to Socure’s mission. Our mission is to verify 100% of good identities in real-time and completely eliminate identity fraud on the internet. GovRAMP Authorization allows faster onboarding of our solution by state agencies. By making our identity verification platform easier to adopt, we can help public sector help constituents get access to benefits sooner while significantly reducing fraud.

What advice do you have for other providers going through the GovRAMP process?

We advise going through GovRAMP and FedRAMP simultaneously, because GovRAMP was designed to leverage FedRAMP documentation making the GovRAMP process very efficient. It’s important to have an advisor who has expertise in drafting compliant documentation and can help the process move faster. Finally, we recommend coordination with your state sponsor as early and as often as possible so they understand your system and they are truly a partner as you go through the process.

How has GovRAMP benefited your organization so far?

GovRAMP has helped focus our team on achieving the cybersecurity and compliance standards necessary to work with states and serve their constituents. Our association and membership with GovRAMP has helped us understand the unique challenges faced by state agencies and we are now better equipped to work with state governments.

What cybersecurity-related events, conferences, or webinars do you recommend for industry professionals?

We recommend attending NASCIO Annual and Midyear conferences to get a better read on where the cybersecurity industry is going for state governments. In addition, StateScoop hosts an annual cybersecurity event and a Zero Trust Summit. Government Technology also hosts great Cybersecurity Summits for individual states periodically.
