With FedRAMP Authorization, BetterUp empowers federal agencies with secure access to AI-driven coaching, well-being, and leadership development.

AUSTIN, Texas-- BetterUp®, the human transformation company and inventor of digital coaching, announced today that it achieved the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Authorization. This significant milestone strengthens BetterUp’s role as a trusted partner, delivering secure, transformative solutions to federal agencies that enhance workforce resilience, leadership development, peak performance, and well-being through AI-powered, behavioral science-driven coaching. This certification symbolizes BetterUp’s ability to provide secure access to AI-driven coaching, well-being, and leadership development. By building a high-performance government workforce, BetterUp empowers growth through scalable solutions that significantly impact resilience, readiness, and overall performance.

With the support of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), BetterUp achieved FedRAMP Authorization. The FAA’s sponsorship was instrumental in securing the Authority to Operate (ATO), allowing BetterUp to meet the highest standards for cloud security. This achievement ensures that federal, state, and local government agencies can confidently access BetterUp’s platform, which combines AI-driven coaching with a focus on leadership development, well-being, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.

“With the backing of the FAA and our FedRAMP Authorization, BetterUp distinguishes itself as one of the few coaching platforms in this space with such a certification,” said Rob Smith, General Manager of BetterUp for Government. “This accomplishment enhances our credibility and accessibility for government entities, ensuring we provide secure, scalable solutions that drive real impact on resilience, readiness, and performance.”

Commitment to Security and Privacy

BetterUp's comprehensive security program includes compliance with globally recognized standards such as ISO 27001, GDPR, CCPA, and SOC 2 Type II. With the FedRAMP Authorization, BetterUp further demonstrates its commitment to protecting both public and private sector clients by continuously enhancing its data governance and security practices.

Supporting Government’s Mission-Critical Workforce

BetterUp has supported more than 20,000 government employees to date and is both FedRAMP and StateRAMP accredited, ensuring the highest standards of security and compliance for agencies like NASA, the FAA, and the U.S. Air Force. Through science-driven human transformation, BetterUp maximizes workforce performance across individuals and agencies with personalized, measurable, and scalable experiences. This proven approach enhances resilience, readiness, and retention, empowering federal employees to navigate complex challenges and thrive in today’s evolving landscape.

BetterUp’s mission to help people everywhere live with greater clarity, purpose, and passion aligns with the government's needs for workforce development. By investing in the well-being and leadership of their personnel, agencies can enhance mission fulfillment and improve overall organizational effectiveness.
