Case Study: Wiz achieves FedRAMP High authorization with WorkOS

WIZ reaches FedRAMP High in 3 months with WorkOS

The customer Wiz, a cloud security company, faced the challenge of achieving FedRAMP High authorization, a rigorous and costly security certification required to sell to the U.S. federal government. They partnered with the vendor WorkOS to navigate this complex process without derailing their product development or treating it as a simple compliance checklist.

WorkOS helped Wiz implement a risk-prioritization solution, organizing their efforts around proactive, preventative, and reactive security stages rather than a flat control list. This approach allowed Wiz to first achieve FedRAMP Moderate and then efficiently uplift to a FedRAMP High authorization. The result was a compressed timeline that maintained product velocity and built an automated continuous monitoring system that turned traditional "audit time" into normal operating time.
