The Wait Is Over: AI-Powered Forecasting Is Now Cleared for Federal Agencies with FedRAMP High

Government agencies need a financial management platform that can keep pace with today’s challenges — budget constraints, regulatory shifts, and operational inefficiencies. Now more than ever, agencies need solutions that provide efficiency, accuracy, and security. With Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High authorization, OneStream delivers a secure solution that meets those needs. OneStream enables agencies to drive smarter decisions, optimize resources, gain efficiency, and enhance resilience in an unpredictable landscape.

FedRAMP is a U.S. government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. Through FedRAMP, federal agencies can transition from outdated legacy IT systems to secure cloud-based solutions. FedRAMP High is the program’s most rigorous authorization, accounting for the government’s most sensitive, unclassified data.

While government agencies are under increasing pressure to adopt modern technology, navigating compliance and regulatory complexities can be time-consuming and difficult. FedRAMP accelerates this process by offering a standardized, authoritative approach to security assessment and authorization for cloud products and services. Through FedRAMP's authorization, agencies can trust that software solutions have been rigorously reviewed and meet necessary security and compliance standards, expediting adoption.

OneStream Software recently completed the rigorous authorization process to achieve FedRAMP High authorization status. This authorization certifies that OneStream’s cloud-based platform meets the federal government’s strictest safety standards. Accordingly, OneStream is authorized for use by federal entities that require the highest level of security for sensitive, mission-critical data.

OneStream is a robust platform solution for financial consolidation, reporting, planning, analysis, and data quality at a heightened security level. With OneStream, agencies can accelerate and simplify planning processes across the Budget and Finance Offices. The platform’s built-in financial controls, auditability, and role-based access ensure compliance with federal regulations. By modernizing back-office operations, federal agencies can better navigate resource constraints, optimize funding allocations, and advance mission outcomes.

“Our FedRAMP High Authorization status positions us as the gold standard for security and compliance in this space, allowing Finance leaders to streamline operations, enhance transparency and unify data to navigate the complexity that comes with legacy systems and evolving processes and budget changes. We are committed to ensuring that Finance leaders across this sector have the technology they need to become more strategic.” – Tom Shea, CEO at OneStream.

The OneStream platform has been FedRAMP authorized since 2018, initially achieving FedRAMP Moderate authorization. In January 2025, OneStream advanced to FedRAMP High authorization. OneStream's compliance portfolio also includes DoD IL4 authorization.

OneStream’s Significant Change Request (SCR) to add SensibleAI Forecast and SensibleAI Studio to its FedRAMP High–authorized government community cloud has been approved for civilian agency use. For agencies already running OneStream, AI-powered forecasting and planning is now available inside the same authorization boundary they already operate in. No separate procurement, no new Authority to Operate, and no additional security review required.

For years, federal finance teams have watched their commercial counterparts use AI to forecast, close, and analyze faster, while most promising AI tools stalled at the authorization boundary. Standing up a separate AI platform typically meant its own procurement cycle, its own security review, and a timeline measured in fiscal years. Many agencies kept forecasting the way they always had in spreadsheets, one cycle at a time, with analysts spending more time assembling numbers than explaining them. With this SCR approved, that wait is over for civilian agencies.

Because SensibleAI runs inside the OneStream environment agencies already operate, there is no new system to authorize and no sensitive data moving outside the boundary. Agencies can start where the money moves: workforce and pay forecasting, Working Capital Fund cash planning, fee-based revenue projections, and continuing resolution or budget-mark scenarios, and expand from there. Finance teams configure more than 60 machine learning and generative AI routines through guided, no-code workflows, and developers and partners can extend them further using Genesis Blocks.

The shift shows up in daily work. Forecasts refresh in minutes rather than full budget cycles, and analysts can query financial and operational data in plain language instead of queuing report requests. Anomalies surface during the close, rather than turning up later in an audit finding. Every output remains explainable, auditable, and traceable to governed data while meeting the same compliance standards as the rest of the OneStream platform.

Department of Defense authorization for SensibleAI Forecast and Studio remains under review. OneStream’s existing FedRAMP High–authorized core platform and current DoD deployments are unaffected and continue to operate normally, and OneStream will share an update once that review is complete.

FedRAMP plays a crucial role in supporting federal agencies' needs and maintains high standards to ensure security, compliance, and mission readiness in cloud environments. At OneStream, we believe security and compliance are critical, and we are committed to providing a secure and reliable platform for our customers. Now extending that same trusted, authorized foundation to AI-powered forecasting for civilian agencies.
