Datadog moves toward FedRAMP High authorization for government

NEW YORK - Datadog, Inc. (NASDAQ: DDOG), a cloud application monitoring and security platform with a market capitalization of $39.38 billion, has announced its progression toward achieving Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High authorization. This advancement aims to enhance the capabilities of U.S. federal agencies in monitoring, securing, and optimizing their critical applications and infrastructure. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains strong financial health with a current ratio of 2.74, indicating robust operational stability.

The High authorization level is indicative of Datadog’s commitment to meeting the federal government’s stringent security and compliance requirements. Previously, Datadog for Government had attained Moderate-Impact authorization, and the move to FedRAMP High will align the company with the government’s initiatives for modernization and digital transformation.

According to Yrieix Garnier, VP of Product at Datadog, federal agencies often face challenges such as tool sprawl, siloed data, and limited visibility across complex environments. Garnier asserts that Datadog’s unified platform is well-suited to address these issues.

Datadog is currently ’In Process’ for the FedRAMP High authorization, which means it is actively working towards meeting the necessary security controls to protect highly sensitive data. The company has completed a readiness assessment and is in the process of obtaining an Authority to Operate (ATO) from an agency sponsor. Datadog anticipates achieving the FedRAMP High authorization in the second half of this year.

The company’s platform integrates a range of capabilities, including infrastructure monitoring, application performance monitoring, log management, and cloud security, to provide real-time observability and security for technology stacks. This comprehensive approach has yielded impressive results, with InvestingPro data showing revenue growth of 25.54% and industry-leading gross profit margins of 80.15%.
