Yes Energy Achieves FedRAMP Authorization for PowerCore Software, Unlocking New Potential for Federal Energy Agencies

Marking a milestone in our commitment to security, compliance, and public-sector innovation, our PowerCore^™ bid-to-bill software has achieved FedRAMP^® Authorization. View Yes Energy’s FedRAMP status.

This designation makes PowerCore^™ one of the few energy-focused software platforms to meet the US federal government’s most rigorous cloud security standards. While not all PowerCore users require FEDramp certification, all users can rest assured that our security meets the highest standard.

What FedRAMP Means for Energy Agencies

The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP^®) is the standardized approach to security assessment and continuous monitoring for cloud-based services used by federal agencies. Achieving FedRAMP authorization requires passing a comprehensive, independently verified audit based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) security controls—among the most rigorous in the world. 

Energy agencies working with a FedRAMP-authorized vendor like Yes Energy are afforded greater confidence in data protection, system resilience, and long-term compliance with federal cybersecurity mandates.

Why This Matters for the Future of Public Sector Energy

For public sector energy providers, the benefits of using FedRAMP-authorized platforms like PowerCore go well beyond basic security, including:

• Accelerated Procurement: FedRAMP streamlines agency procurement by reducing the time and cost of security evaluations.

• Consistent Oversight: Standardized compliance means fewer surprises in audits and easier integration with internal risk frameworks.

• Adaptability and Innovation: With cloud-based, FedRAMP-authorized platforms, organizations can modernize faster and adapt to shifting energy policies and operational demands—without sacrificing trust.
