CLEAR (NYSE: YOU) announced that its CLEAR1 identity platform received Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program "In Process" designation at the Moderate impact level and is listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace.

The designation indicates CLEAR1 is undergoing the formal authorization process required for federal cloud services. FedRAMP is a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment and authorization for cloud products and services.

CLEAR1 currently supports the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in modernizing digital identity for Medicare beneficiaries and providers through a previously announced contract for Medicare.gov identity verification services.

The platform analyzes biometrics, government-issued IDs, devices, and data sources to provide identity verification. CLEAR reports having over 39 million verified users in its network. The system is aligned to NIST Digital Identity Guidelines, including Identity Assurance Level 2 and Authenticator Assurance Level 2, and is HIPAA-compliant.

"FedRAMP is a natural extension of that work and a critical validation of the investments we've made in controls, monitoring, and governance across CLEAR1," said Jon Schlegel, Chief Security Officer at CLEAR.

The FedRAMP Moderate "In Process" status allows federal agencies to consider CLEAR1 for procurement while the platform progresses toward full authorization. Federal agencies increasingly require cloud services to be FedRAMP authorized or demonstrably progressing toward authorization for procurement decisions.

CLEAR operates identity verification services across travel, sports, healthcare, and digital services sectors. The company states it does not sell biometric or sensitive personal data.
