Federal-Ready AI Data Platform for U.S. Federal Agencies

What Teradata delivers for federal missions

Federal agencies are under growing pressure to turn fragmented data into secure, mission-ready intelligence—and to do it at the pace modern operations require. Teradata gives civilian and defense agencies a unified data platform, built for the scale, governance, and AI demands of federal work. Four capabilities anchor the platform.

Unified data platform

Teradata integrates structured and unstructured federal data across sources, systems, and silos—in the cloud, on premises, or in hybrid configurations. Agencies eliminate fragmented data environments and gain a single, governed foundation for analytics, AI, and mission decision-making, without costly migration or lift-and-shift compromise.

In-database analytics

With AI Studio, Teradata runs advanced analytics directly where the data lives—no extraction, no movement, no latency. Federal analysts get access to extensive in-database machine learning, graph, geospatial, and time-series capabilities that turn raw data into mission intelligence at the speed agencies need.

AI/ML at federal scale

Teradata provides a trusted, governed foundation for the full range of federal AI workloads—from predictive modeling and machine learning to generative and agentic AI. Agencies deploy AI with the data quality, lineage, and security controls their missions demand, without sacrificing performance or compliance.

Hybrid and flexible deployment

Teradata supports cloud-first, on-premises, and hybrid deployments, giving agencies the flexibility to meet strict data residency, tenancy, and sovereignty requirements while maintaining a consistent analytics experience across environments.

FedRAMP® Ready status

FedRAMP® Ready status confirms that Teradata has passed independent security assessment and is prepared for federal agency adoption. This section covers what that means, the path to full authorization, and how Teradata is tracking the broader FedRAMP® modernization program.

What FedRAMP® Ready means for Teradata

Teradata on AWS has achieved FedRAMP® Ready status at Moderate Impact Level in the U.S. East and U.S. West regions. FedRAMP® Ready confirms that Teradata has been assessed by an independent Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) and meets the requirements to pursue full FedRAMP® Authorization. Federal agencies can review the official Marketplace listing to verify current status and technical details.

The path to FedRAMP® authorized

FedRAMP® Ready is a milestone, not an endpoint. Teradata is actively progressing toward full FedRAMP® authorization or Authority to Operate (ATO). Federal agencies evaluating Teradata are encouraged to begin procurement conversations now—FedRAMP® Ready status signals that Teradata is prepared for agency sponsorship, and engaging early can accelerate the path to an ATO that matches specific mission timelines.

Tracking FedRAMP® 20x

The FedRAMP® 20x modernization program, announced in 2025, is rebuilding federal cloud authorization around automation, continuous validation, and machine-readable evidence. Teradata is tracking the 20x transition and is committed to the automation-first direction of the program.

Mission use cases

Teradata has served U.S. federal agencies for decades, delivering analytics and data platform capabilities across the full range of federal mission areas. Teradata extends that history into the cloud and AI era—giving agencies modern, compliant infrastructure for the missions they're tasked with today.

Teradata supports U.S. federal agencies across policymaking and decision support; fraud, waste, and abuse prevention; operational efficiency and supply chain; citizen services and case management; public health management; and transportation and mobility.

Security and compliance

Security is foundational to how Teradata serves federal customers. Teradata is engineered around the controls federal agencies require—both the FedRAMP® baseline and the adjacent frameworks that federal and federally aligned workloads commonly need.

FedRAMP® aligned security controls

Teradata implements the security architecture federal agencies require: U.S. data residency, tenancy isolation from commercial customers, FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography, TLS 1.2 in-transit encryption, continuous security monitoring with monthly vulnerability scanning, and incident reporting and Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) management aligned with FedRAMP® requirements. Together, these controls form the compliance foundation that makes Teradata eligible for federal agency adoption.

Broader compliance posture

Teradata's compliance portfolio extends beyond FedRAMP® Ready to include the industry and global frameworks federal agencies frequently layer into their procurement requirements—from healthcare-specific controls for HHS and CMS workloads to financial and international standards for agencies with cross-border operations.
