ColorTokens Achieves FedRAMP® Moderate ATO for Xshield™
ColorTokens is proud to announce that its Xshield Enterprise Microsegmentation Platform has achieved a FedRAMP® Moderate Authority to Operate (ATO), a significant milestone that underscores our commitment to delivering secure, resilient, and mission-ready cybersecurity solutions for the U.S. Federal Government.
FedRAMP (the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) is the U.S. government’s gold standard for cloud security. Achieving a Moderate ATO means that Xshield has successfully met hundreds of rigorous security requirements based on NIST SP 800-53 controls and has been independently assessed by an accredited third-party assessment organization (3PAO). This authorization validates that Xshield is capable of securely supporting federal systems that process Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and other sensitive data.
For federal agencies, security and compliance are not optional, they are foundational. By earning a FedRAMP Moderate ATO, ColorTokens removes one of the biggest barriers agencies face when adopting modern cloud-based security solutions. Agencies can now reuse Xshield’s existing authorization rather than conducting time-consuming and duplicative security assessments, dramatically accelerating procurement and deployment timelines.

Why FedRAMP Moderate Matters
FedRAMP Moderate is designed for systems that support mission-critical operations and handle sensitive federal data. It provides agencies with assurance that a SaaS platform:
Has been thoroughly tested against real-world threat scenarios
Implements strong identity, access, logging, and incident response controls
Operates under continuous monitoring, not point-in-time compliance
In short, it ensures that security is built into the platform, not bolted on.
Zero Trust & Executive Order 14028: Built In, Not Bolted On
Executive Order 14028 and subsequent OMB guidance require federal agencies to adopt Zero Trust Architecture and move away from perimeter-based security models. A core principle of Zero Trust is assuming breach, designing systems to limit blast radius and maintain mission operations even when adversaries gain access.
Microsegmentation is foundational to this approach.
With Xshield’s FedRAMP Moderate ATO, ColorTokens enables agencies to deploy Zero Trust-aligned microsegmentation in a secure, compliant, and repeatable manner. Xshield allows agencies to:
Enforce least-privilege access at the workload and application level
Prevent lateral movement across cloud and hybrid environments
Rapidly isolate vulnerable systems impacted by known exploited vulnerabilities (KEVs)
Maintain mission continuity while remediation and patching are underway
By combining FedRAMP-authorized cloud delivery with Zero Trust enforcement close to critical assets, ColorTokens helps agencies move from theoretical Zero Trust strategies to operational Zero Trust outcomes.

Faster, Easier, and More Secure Federal Adoption
The FedRAMP Moderate ATO allows ColorTokens to:
Deliver Xshield more quickly to federal agencies
Reduce security review friction for CIOs, CISOs, and Authorizing Officials
Support sensitive workloads with confidence and transparency
Scale securely across multiple agencies and mission sets
Most importantly, it enables agencies to focus less on compliance paperwork and more on improving cyber resilience.
A Commitment to Federal Mission Resilience
Achieving FedRAMP Moderate is not the end of the journey, it is a commitment to ongoing excellence. ColorTokens will continue to meet FedRAMP’s continuous monitoring requirements and evolve Xshield to stay ahead of emerging threats.
As federal agencies accelerate Zero Trust adoption, ColorTokens stands ready with a FedRAMP-authorized microsegmentation platform designed to protect missions, data, and operations in an assumed-breach world.
