Grafana Labs Achieves FedRAMP High Authorization, Appoints New Federal Leader

Company Pioneers Secure Observability Solutions for Government Agencies and Contractors Through Strategic Partnership with Palantir Technologies

Grafana Labs, the observability company behind the world’s most ubiquitous, open and composable operational dashboards, today announced it has obtained Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High Authorization through Palantir Technologies’ FedStart Program. Additionally, Grafana Labs has achieved compliance with Impact Level 5 (IL5) requirements, the corresponding authorization for DoD agencies. This is an important milestone that makes enterprise-grade observability accessible to organizations operating in highly regulated environments.

FedRAMP High Authorization and DoD Impact Level 5

Grafana Labs has achieved a significant milestone with its FedRAMP High Authorization and IL5 compliance, enabling the company to deliver innovative observability solutions that allow government agencies and their commercial partners to better understand and manage their complex systems and infrastructure. Grafana Federal Cloud is a fully managed, highly scalable observability platform, powered by the industry-leading LGTM stack: Grafana Mimir for Prometheus metrics, Grafana Loki for logs, Grafana Tempo for traces, and Grafana, the de facto standard for data visualization.

"Our open source solutions have been used by federal agencies like the Department of Defense for years, but achieving FedRAMP High Authorization and IL5 compliance for our managed solution represents a significant step forward in our federal strategy," said Ash Mazhari, VP of Corporate Development. "This authorization transforms Grafana from an open source tool to a strategic, managed observability platform for the most sensitive and mission-critical government infrastructure. Our partnership with Palantir accelerates our ability to deliver secure, scalable observability solutions that meet the highest standards of federal compliance and operational excellence.”

Grafana Federal Cloud is now listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace as part of the Palantir Federal Cloud Service, making it accessible to federal agencies and their commercial partners. Interested organizations can sign up to learn more at http://grafana.com/contact/fedramp.

More Than A Partnership With Palantir

Palantir, a key partner in Grafana Labs' FedRAMP journey, is also a customer of Grafana Labs, which has enabled Palantir to consolidate its monitoring systems and meet the ongoing needs of its rapidly scaling business and operations.

“Grafana Labs’ solutions have allowed us to unify our observability tools across all environments, significantly reduce costs, and improve our operational efficiency,” noted Greg DeArment, Palantir’s Head of Production Infrastructure. “Having experienced the power of Grafana Labs’ observability platform, we are excited to bring this technology to the government sector.”

Palantir’s firsthand experience with Grafana Labs and deep expertise in highly regulated industries position the partnership to address the needs of organizations seeking robust, secure monitoring solutions that meet the specific requirements of high-level authorizations.

New Federal Go-To-Market Leadership

In conjunction with this achievement, Grafana Labs announced the appointment of Brent Leech as Regional Vice President, Federal, to lead the company's federal and public sector go-to-market initiatives. Leech brings more than 20 years of experience in sales leadership in the federal technology sector, having previously served in senior roles at MongoDB, BMC Software, and Quantifind.

"I'm excited to join Grafana Labs at this pivotal moment," said Brent Leech. "The combination of our FedRAMP High Authorization achievement, strategic partnership with Palantir, and the rapidly increasing demand for advanced observability solutions in government creates a strong foundation for Grafana Labs as we expand our federal footprint significantly in the coming months."
