BLACKBERRY ACHIEVES FEDRAMP CLASS D (HIGH) RE-CERTIFICATION AS GOVERNMENT DEMAND FOR MISSION-CRITICAL COMMUNICATIONS GROWS

BlackBerry Ltd.'s BlackBerry AtHoc has completed its 2026 Class D (high) recertification under the federal risk and authorization management program.

This achievement comes as U.S. government requirements and investment in mission-critical emergency notification and crisis co-ordination continue to rise, reinforcing BlackBerry's focus on secure, resilient communications for federal agencies and critical infrastructure.

"Recertification with FedRAMP Class D (high) underscores the operational maturity and security rigour BlackBerry AtHoc delivers to government and critical infrastructure customers every day," said Ramon Pinero, general manager, BlackBerry AtHoc. "We are the only CEM platform to reach this bar in 2025, and this recertification reflects our sustained investment in helping organizations co-ordinate faster, operate more securely and respond effectively when conditions are most demanding."

FedRAMP Class D (high) certification is reserved for cloud services that handle the U.S. government's most sensitive unclassified data, including systems where a loss of confidentiality, integrity or availability could have a severe or catastrophic impact on operations or public safety. As federal agencies expand their use of emergency communications platforms to protect military personnel, first responders and essential operations, the 2026 recertification confirms that BlackBerry AtHoc continues to meet these stringent requirements while evolving to support increasingly complex, distributed and multiagency operational environments.

Since achieving its initial FedRAMP Class D (high) certification, BlackBerry has continued to enhance the BlackBerry AtHoc platform's capabilities to support faster response and tighter operational control for organizations operating in high-stakes environments where downtime and ambiguity are not acceptable. Recent advancements to the command centre provide a unified operational workspace that enables agencies to establish a shared operating picture, track personnel accountability and co-ordinate response activities across sites and organizations. By replacing fragmented dashboards and manual co-ordination with a single source of operational truth, BlackBerry AtHoc helps teams maintain clarity, continuity and control throughout rapidly evolving incidents.

"FedRAMP Class D (high) recertification sends a strong signal to our public sector customers that BlackBerry AtHoc continues to meet the highest standards for security, compliance and operational resilience," said Dubhe Beinhorn, senior vice-president, public sector, BlackBerry Secure Communications. "As agencies face increasingly complex threats and operational demands, trusted and compliant communications infrastructure is essential to maintaining readiness and protecting public safety."

BlackBerry AtHoc is trusted by 80 per cent of U.S. federal government agencies, as well as defence organizations, law enforcement, emergency services and critical infrastructure operators worldwide, to support crisis communications, incident management and co-ordinated response during natural disasters, cyber incidents and operational disruptions.
