Government Cybersecurity Starts with Identity

For decades, RSA has provided federal, defense, intelligence, and civilian agencies—and the contractors and systems integrators that serve them—with the identity capabilities they need to stay connected, operational, and secure.

Tested by government. Trusted by government.

RSA works with 90% of US federal agencies and departments and secures government operations in 67 countries, providing the authentication, access, and governance capabilities the public sector needs to operate securely.

Governance & Compliance

RSA gives government agencies the visibility and control to enforce least privilege, automate access reviews, and maintain continuous compliance.

RSA Governance & Lifecycle continuously monitors for overprivileged access, dormant accounts, and compliance gaps across your environment before attackers discover them.

Automated access reviews

Replace time-consuming, manual certification processes with AI-assisted access reviews  that enforce least privilege and generate audit-ready reports.

Lifecycle automation

Automate onboarding, offboarding, and access changes for employees, contractors, and partner organizations—ensuring the right access at the right time, always.

Real-time audit trails

Continuous logging and reporting that simplifies compliance with CJIS, IRS 1075, CMMC, DFARS, NIST 800-53, StateRAMP, and requirements.

Securing government at every level

RSA provides across every level of global government—from classified federal networks to municipal services—with proven deployment flexibility in every environment.

Federal civilian

RSA secures federal civilian agencies with FedRAMP Moderate-authorized IAM, phishing-resistant authentication, and capabilities that meet EO 14028 and OMB M-22-09 requirements.

Defense and intelligence

Secures air-gapped environments that demand the highest assurance. Supports DoD IL2 reciprocity and Controlled Unclassified Information requirements.

State and local

Identity capabilities meeting CJIS, HIPAA, IRS 1075, and StateRAMP mandates.

Global support

RSA secures government operations in 67 countries with flexible deployment across on-premises, private cloud, and air-gapped environments.

Modernizing identity at scale

See how a large state government agency advanced Zero Trust, enhanced its Microsoft deployment, and reduced help desk calls with RSA.

“The agency did not have to choose between protecting its Microsoft environment and preserving its legacy stack. RSA ID Plus made both possible simultaneously.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is identity security posture management (ISPM) and how is it different from traditional IGA?
Traditional IGA focuses on provisioning and certifying access at regular intervals. ISPM goes further by continuously monitoring your environment for overprivileged accounts, dormant access, and compliance gaps. This gives security teams an ongoing view of identity risk, not just a point-in-time snapshot.
How does RSA Governance & Lifecycle support compliance frameworks like CJIS, IRS 1075, CMMC, and NIST 800-53?
RSA Governance & Lifecycle automates the access certification, role management, and audit trail workflows that these frameworks require. Continuous logging and reporting give agencies the documentation they need to demonstrate compliance to oversight bodies without manual effort.
How does RSA Governance & Lifecycle manage contractor and third-party access?
RSA Governance & Lifecycle automates joiner, mover, and leaver processes across employees, contractors, and partner organizations. This ensures access is granted, adjusted, and revoked on time, reducing the risk of dormant or overprivileged accounts that often go undetected in manual environments.
How does RSA Governance & Lifecycle support agencies managing access to cloud and FedRAMP-authorized systems?
Even when cloud systems operate within a FedRAMP system, agencies still need to govern and certify who has access to them. RSA Governance & Lifecycle provides that identity governance layer across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments.
What is RSA ID Plus for Government?
RSA ID Plus for Government is a FedRAMP Moderate-authorized IAM platform that delivers phishing-resistant MFA, passwordless access, and Zero Trust controls for US federal agencies, systems integrators, and contractors. It runs on Azure Government Cloud and satisfies 325 NIST 800-53 security and privacy controls. It is the only cloud-agnostic authenticator on the FedRAMP Marketplace to receive JAB Moderate authorization.
How does RSA ID Plus for Government differ from commercial RSA ID Plus?
RSA ID Plus for Government delivers the same core features as commercial ID Plus with two exceptions required by FedRAMP Moderate controls: SMS and voice token codes are excluded, and the solution runs on Azure Government Cloud rather than Azure Commercial Cloud.
How does RSA help agencies comply with EO 14028, OMB M-22-09, and OMB M-24-14?
RSA ID Plus for Government provides the phishing-resistant MFA, Zero Trust architecture, and cloud security capabilities required by these mandates. RSA iShield Key 2 Series hardware keys directly fulfill the AAL3 authentication requirements in OMB M-22-09 and M-24-14, while RSA’s hybrid deployment model supports the broader Zero Trust architecture shift outlined in EO 14028.

The only choice when failure isn’t an option.
