MILPITAS, Calif., Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZL Technologies (ZL Tech), a global leader in information governance, today announced that the ZL Platform has achieved FedRAMP Class C Certification. FedRAMP considers Class C adequate for most Low and Moderate impact agency information systems, as well as some High impact systems with appropriate compensating controls. With this certification, federal agencies can use the ZL Platform to securely govern and harness unstructured data, from emails to case files and transcripts, for mission-critical AI initiatives.
As AI adoption accelerates across federal agencies, attention is shifting toward the data underneath it. Unstructured content such as emails, documents, and messages has emerged as a critical foundation for scalable, trustworthy AI. According to General Dynamics IT’s Agency Guide to Scaling From Pilot to Production, 38% of organizations cite diverse data, much of it unstructured, as the leading driver of AI success, and 33% report that difficulties managing this data are the primary cause of failed projects.
FedRAMP Certification Classes range from A to D and reflect the depth, frequency, and quality of assurance information a cloud provider commits to sharing with agencies. FedRAMP notes that Class C and Class D offerings have made “extraordinary commitments to provide additional assurance information in a timely manner to federal agency customers.”
“Achieving Class C Certification took a rigorous, company-wide effort, and the commitment it represents continues every day after certification,” said Ganesh Prasad, Chief Information Security Officer at ZL Technologies. “Agencies get detailed, timely visibility into how the ZL Platform is operated and protected, which gives them the confidence to bring their unstructured data into mission AI initiatives.”
